maybe charge a membership fee which gives access to some extended/enhancement features like...
- links to archive page for particular thread.
- first up, priority list delivery
- serverside filtering
- best practices database
- editorial content
- list moderation options (web based customization)
just a dump. but the revenue stream would justify some extended feature development.
In fact I would subscribe to houseoffusion - if there was a demonstrated commitment to some new features, and maybe some access to contribute ideas and development. Maybe let Michael define a proprietary core list/web engine w/ an open API for us to build extended (community subscriber open source) modules for the community.
I could commit to $25 per year x 5 years (annual subscription) without thinking. not big $$$ - but not sure if you could squeeze more out of me. 200 subscribers = $5000 per year.
$4 per month? $6 per month?
Also subscribers get access to a fixed rate "buy now", surplus reverse auction ad inventory for email tags, and website directory and banner rotation advertising. (meaning all traffic would have "some" revenue).

We have had this discussion over on CF-Community before. Some felt that
paying a very small fee would be worth it from the knowledge that you
get here.

I'd go.
Why pay for something I can get elsewhere for free ?
