I think it's always preferable to give people the option of participating out of their own free choice.

If we go with a membership fee, they will have a free choice whether to participate or not.

I felt that if adequete funds could be raised on a voluntary basis there would be a chance to avoid upset and animosity.

So, basically you're saying that what the Forum has been so far is not of value or not of enough value to pay a nominal sum for - a sum that isn't more than what most people spend for a few drinks or a meal?
Since the Forum has started, I've put in hundreds of hours. I know for the people who come on, it looks like it just runs itself, but it doesn't.
I've been reading over in other places and many forums are starting to look at membership fees.
