Just wondering why?

Have you forgotten, can you not afford it, do you just think it's not necessary?

Not trying to force anyone to pay, just curious

Not pointing fingers as I know that some people aren't listed!

Just being nosey

Just can't afford it at the momment as adjusting to having only 1 wage in the household, but I will do when things settle down.

Exactly Toothy. It is very easy to lose track. A tick box when you sign up, or amendable later on your Member Profile, saying, please nag me about CASH annually, would be useful IMO.

I can't remember when I last paid it! Don't know if another one is due yet!!!

Mixture of first two for an eighteen month period (I do think annual reminders for those of us who are able/willing to pay would be helpful!). But have paid annually as a rule. Also contribute in kind as a Moderator
Agree with Soupy in principle but am sometimes a bit surprised about how aggressively anti-contributions some posts have been in the past. NB not thinking of anyone specific or recent, just recollections of heated debate previously.

I complete forget to, although I'm not very regular on MN at the moment, it always comes up when I am skint and awaiting payday!...I do think it should be voluntary and don't see why a list is published on the site (particularly if some people have said that they don't want to be named)

I would not mind giving a bit if I can spare it, but how would i pay? Live in portugal and dont own a credit card

BudaBabe · 02/11/2005 11:29

Having been feeling guilty for a while about not paying, thanks to recent threads reminding me, I have just paid up!!

I feel all legal!

I must say I like the way that it's voluntary and a "whatever you can afford" type arrangement. Makes for a much more diverse set of posters IMO.

I didn't for ages because i kidded myself that I was not addicted, did not need it and shouldn't encourage myself.

Eventually gave up.

Sometimes I wish they'd introduce a fee of £50 per post, so that I would have to kick the habit!
