Some fail to realize that these orgs are essentially businesses, and like any other business there are costs involved to maintain the orgs.
If one is a part of an active entity, the costs are going to accrue at some point in the organization's existance. There's no way an organization can thrive and grow and not have someone within the organization paying those fees.
I think if someone is serious about joining, cost wouldn't make a difference. If you want something bad enough, you'll get the money somehow. It should be one of the things that you are working on along side doing research and getting to know the members anyway. Having the money for your fees is all apart of being 'ready' to join, IMO.
