People can pay for a submitter pass. Not a lot, maybe even just a dollar or 5 dollars or something

if people get charged 5 bucks for a registration and let's say 1000 people sign up. that's 5000 one time fee

Now I allready said I don't believe that, and before I proceed in this post I want it to be known that it's not The Hun I will be referring to but others are allready proposing what I predicted:
this is the further developement of the thread in this regard:

Good idea Hun
we will setup the website www.tgpmembers.com
To be added to our database you pay a monthly fee of lets say
5 us.

Here ya have it! The system isn't even there yet and allready the one time fee is under presure to jump from one time to monthly.
In other words Fletch! good insight!
Now The Hun might not agree with Grumpy I really don't know. All I can say is that I don't trust this whole proposition but that's my opinion.
What I want to make clear with this post is that whenever fees are involved, greed will stick up it's ugly head and in that regard I will repeat what I said before: EXPECT IT TO GO UP!
First a one time $ 5 fee
Then it becomes monthly
Then it will become $ 10 a month
And most likely $ 15 a month after that.
And all that for maybe a chance of some freeloading traffic that's hard to convert.
EHmmmmmmmmmm............. no thanks I'll pass
