We use donations here so anyone and everyone can make donations to help with the running costs of the forum and to help with other purchases for shows like marquees and flags etc. This forum is a free place that people are then happy to support by donations because its great. Working the other way around of forcing people to pay money for full access without seeing the benefits first is the wrong way round imo. Yes it ensures you actually cover running costs but it doesn't make it a good forum.
