For example Yahoo Geocities is charging for FTP access, a popular "tech" site, slashdot.org, is charging users for ad-free viewing of their site, and the list goes on. Expect to see many popular sites going to this type of business model to keep their heads above the water.  I'm waiting for Blackplanet to go completely fee-based. With the amount of advertising that is plastered all over the site, I REALLY wonder how strapped for cash the owners (Community Connect ) are.

I think BP with all of its pop up ads and entrance advertisements, etc. is going that way as far as paying to use it and when they do -- Adios BP!
I love GC and I really enjoy the convos on here but pay to talk to y'all -- nope sorry. **JOHN, we love GC like a play cousin but my oh my, I would have to bounce.** I might have crackhead like twitches for a few days but sooner or later, I might shake it off.
