No, I wouldn't pay. I've met wonderful friends here, and I can continue my friendship with them elsewhere and in person.

I'm not interested in the "personals" aspect, so I doubt I would pay to come here.

I would not stay.

I don't pay for any site online. Never have never will. Seems completely senseless and useless to me since there's always another site offering the same exact thing for free and you'll find the same exact people there as here just usually under a different name or even the same name.

My question though is if CollarMe began to charge in order to fix some of the issues and to screen members for age, ect would you stay or would you go? Why or why not?

No, I wouldn't pay, because I know the things I consider "broken" can be fixed for free. There's no need to pay to fix them so why should I? In fact, this site offers far less for free than other sites. I can't filter searches by relationship status, whether or not a person smokes, has offspring, or the type of relationship they seek. If other sites can provide the same services without charging, why not this one?

CM would have to upgrade what they offer substantially before I'd be willing to shell out cold, hard cash.

I would most likely stay. I am not always able to socialize outside my home due to my health so its nice to have this networking system.

I like the forums here, but not quite enough to pay to be here. Unless maybe it was like a dollar or two. Maybe.

Same here.

(could we barter for sexual favors though?)

I am here for the forums, the lower forums mostly. I am no longer looking. So as far as a hook up site, if this became that, I would not be involved. I have no problems with donating, though, but volunteer basis.

I just like the forums for a fun diversion.

Depending on the cost and format changes, I would lean toward staying. If I were to go, I would definitely want to keep in touch with certain folks and would exchange information.
As it is, I like the ease and format.

FR, after read thru

This question confuses me since there are a number of pay-sites (alt.com, bondage.com, etc) providing very similar services -- I thought part of the point of places like CM & FL is that they do not charge . . . . . . What confuses me is why people complain about CM's 'problems' & those 'problematic' connections to CM's free status when the complainers can amble on over to alt (et al) & plunk down their money & get whatever they think that's gonna get them, over there . .. . .

Yeah, if I wanted to pay to hang out on a BDSM social networking site, I'd already be there, paying . . . . . & if CM decided to start charging I'd move over to the next free site to emerge . . . . . . .

(I tend to wonder, now, how many other BDSM social networking sites those inclined to whine about CM's 'deficiencies' have actually hung out on. There are literally dozens of BDSM-specific dating & social-networking sites, & more emerging all the time . . . . . . Perhaps it has nothing to do with the site, or the logic of the argument, & everything to do with the innate whining propensities of the whiners . . . . .. . . )

I read so many threads and posts about people complaining about how this FREE site is run. In my opinion considering that the Moderators are volunteers and not paid employees I think they do a wonderful job on both sides. My question though is if CollarMe began to charge in order to fix some of the issues and to screen members for age, ect would you stay or would you go? Why or why not?

No, the site would offer nothing that I couldn't get for free elsewhere.

Ray, does this translate to " free & easy " ? Just like CM! Free and easy to use. (gotta try to stay on topic once in awhile - y'know?)

Just curious

Those who say they won't stay, because there is no reason.

Why do you stay now.

Because I'm bored, I have a few friends here (which I would no doubt stay in contact with even if I left CM completely, since we're mostly in contact offsite as well) and this gives me something to do that I don't have to put any sort of thought or effort into when I want a break. Which a few mind-numbingly inspid games on my computer also do - although this is easier to walk away from if dad yells for me in the middle of writing, as opposed to being in the middle of a game that will time out (which annoys me.)
