As Caryl says £5.00 is a modest fee and I'd be quite prepared to have a reduced student / young persons rate of say £2.50, i think that's a really good idea and fair too.

Having seen the amount of beer Sheffield students seem able to afford I'd say students could manage £5
I think at that level the amount could be the same for all.
And actually I
would feel taken aback if my membership fee was hiked by a further £5 to have access to the site. This whole issue seems to me to be about two things .. a contribution to the cost of servicing the website with news etc, and a need to make the forum more secure and give greater control to ban people who abuse it, but mainly Meat . The sum is arbitrary in terms of not being too much for people, but being mainly a deterrent to those who would come here for the express purpose of being rude to Meat and/or his fans.
If the membership fee I currently pay contributes towards the cost of servicing the website with news etc I don't see why it needs to increase because I continue to use the website. Few people do not have any internet access at all these days, even if it's not in their home, and to have two rates of membership fee seems to me to be unnecessarily complicated, and less likely to encourage people to take out full membership.
