There has been a lot of recent discussion on the cost of running the Forum, and on the subject of membership. There have been lots of ideas put forward, but mostly from members. It seems we all joined for a similar reason - we all recognise the value we have obtained from the site (from the forum, or other parts) and we are willing to compensate EO for that benefit. Others apparently don't see it that way so we need to hear from non-members as to why they aren't joining and what it would take to get them to join/contribute financially.

We all seem to agree we do obtain value (to greater or lesser degrees) from the site. Could we have obtained that benefit elsewhere? Probably, but not as conveniently. If the Forum disapeared due to unrecoverable costs, would we miss it? We are the users and the beneficiaries so shouldn't we bear the costs of the platform that's been provided?

So, non-members, what added value/benefits, beyond that which you already receive from the EO site, would entice you to pay membership? Life just ain't that serious.
