Would you pay to stay on the Roo

With all the current financial problems, the advertising on this site could be affected. What would your thoughts be of paying a subscription to remain a member? and if so how much?.

things are so tight right now, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but there are those who do well to keep their internet bill paid so they can enjoy the Roo, if it came to that, I'd even be willing to help pay to keep folks here

Well I assume this site exists on advertising, If that went what is the alternative?

well, losing the Roo is simply not an option, I didn't fight for it all this time just to see it vanish lol private funding would appear to be the way

I voted yes as I have been paying until recently. However I'd want to be sure that the folk who were getting my money: 1. were actually getting it. 2. knew they were getting it. 3. Had some idea where it was coming from.

They do need to organise themselves better.

lmao ... there's been quite a few problems with the premium feature of the Roo, you're not alone, Vinnie! lol

honestly ... the Roo survived before without paying members it should be able to now ..... advertisers or not .... I mean, they wouldn't loose every single one of them .....
I know my budget couldn't handle extra expenses without me getting a raise and well we all know that isn't happening ....

I realize that, but how did the Roo do before all the bigger advertiser came on board .... I realize growth is inevitable ... but you know, the Roo as a smaller place was so much more fun, more adult too
