By changing access in piecemeal fashion like this, it gives the impression of the creeping elimination of "free" access" for other forums in the future. Looked at like we would look at any other entity, my first thought was, "Beyond Tiki and Bilge now, General Discussion later." This change creates an impression that the carpet is slowly being rolled up. I would rather the whole site require a membership fee than to create an atmosphere of selective admission. That being said, I will continue to contribute the cost of membership, and would be willing to pay an additional fee to help defray the cost of keeping Beyond Tiki and Bilge free for all to particpiate in.
