There will always be free members on photo.net that can use all aspects of the site.... all I was saying is the site will need to evolve away from ad supported model (people are ad blocking at a high rate) as a publisher in the photography community space (no one likes to see ads next to their photography) to survive and thrive long term we'll need to provide services people are willing to pay for and can use. Things like bringing more Online Photography Classes, Private Client Galleries, Discounts from partners like Agree.com, Photologo.co and more coming. Free users will always have a home here - I don't like using the grey ad blocker thing but it can be closed out, we have to ask otherwise people won't whitelist us.
