I certainly can't fault them on principle if this is their
approach.. Whether or not this is a valid revenue model remains to be
seen. From my perspective (which is different than most <g>), each
developer needs to decide whether this fits THEIR business model.. I'm
afraid without a critical mass of lower end stuff, there will be no energy
base upon which to have and develop a brand name and a viable
community. and it certainly doesn't fit OUR business model.

this comes to pass. I used to use webboard many years ago, but switched to
IIS when our business model and approach dictated it.
