Dennis, RE: SI Suggestions

1) Switch to a yearly subscription fee (for new members only), and ditch the lifetime fee immediately. I'd suggest $49.95 year to start. To get non-posting lurkers to pay this fee, see number 2.

2) Restrict some content to members only. One way to do this is to allow only members to view the last 24 hours of postings. Non-members will have a delay of 24 hours in reading postings. That should convert a lot of lurking non-members to members in a hurry.


I thinks both of these are great ideas. I've been trying to get a number of my friends and associates to stop lurking on SI and become members. They just say that there is no reason to be a member when they can read everything. Great idea on the 24hour delay.

I look forward to SI growing. I'm neither long nor short, just a member.
