Happy Hour (or) Yes Virginia, there is no free lunch.

(Bob) Zumbrunnen,

Sometimes those places that serve food & drink will offer
free food or 1/2 priced drinks during those evening hours
where business is very slow, to increase customer flow.

You might consider a Happy Hour on IHub one day a week
during a peak posting time where the View Next 10 is available
to everyone just to get an idea not so much if everyone likes it
as we all know its a great feature, but just to let them non paying folks
who never used it a taste of it, and if as expected they all discover
the wondermint of it then for sure they will tell their friends and
they all will try and squeeze their time in iHub during that Happy Hour,
which will tell you that your carrot on a stick has them chasing you.

You could even turn off all advertisement during this hour
and have IHub kick @ss of other web sites so that folks
leave them others and come to iHub.

I'am not telling you anything you haven't thought about a zillion times,
but to me an iHub with totally no advertisements and non paying members
have restrictions on number of posts allowed per day being a small number
like five, and no View Next 10, but with that Happy Hour of View Next 10
atleast once a week to draw them into wanting it for keeps,
to me would grow iHub x10 faster than current model.
