Sorry Bren .. I worded that poorly .. I meant that Mike wasn't suggesting this, and I don't think that restricting forum access to fanclub members only was his intention. I think anyway that fanclub members' children should have access as part of that membership anyway.
The main reason, it seemed to me, for the proposal to introduce a nominal charge was to imcrease security. It might not prevent one abusive post, but could provide the means of preventing the person concerned repeating this, and would help prevent anyine who was banned from re-registering.
Out of all those registered here it seems by no means all post. Perhaps people could be allowed free access to view only? Rather like the CHSIB promo forum R set up. That way those who browse and don't post won't necessarily be "driven away" .. and visitors can see what the forum is like and make a decision as to whether they wish to subscribe to being a full forum member
