Likely no. I'd migrate to somewhere else that's friendly and free.
by Grammy Robin on August 11th, 2007
Nope. I'm so broke, I can't even pay attention.

I know that this site has sold out a lot to sponsors in the last few months in order to generate revenue.
Well, I am sort of hooked but due to the mass exodus of users I severely doubt the effectiveness of such a maneuver. It's already bad enough having to deal with blue underlined links in answers as well as having to deal with everything turning into a Nascar race with signboards everywhere.
My answer is one of those cars because it has advertisement slapped onto it already.
The blueline special.
by lady fuschia on September 21st, 2007
Not a chance. The minute I see that a site charges for use is the minute I leave.
by PrettyPirate on August 11th, 2007
Probably.
by Meow Meow 1BadMutha TBMF on September 21st, 2007
No. They should be paying me for this material. :P
by luc on August 11th, 2007
Monthly charge I don't think so. I get enough of those in the mail. I like AB but at this time I would have to say NO I would not be on Answer Bag.
by American idle on August 11th, 2007
Nope.
by Talimze on August 11th, 2007
I don't even have money to pay for things that I want desperately . I'm not that addicted.
by Willow Bell on August 11th, 2007
no
by Gideon on August 11th, 2007
As much as I enjoy AB and would feel the loss of not being able to interact here, I don't think I'd pay a fee. As someone else pointed out, there are so many free websites out there.
by Symbeline on September 10th, 2008
Shouldn't have to pay for knowledge, or worse, the many meaningless questions and hostility presented when someone doesn't like your opinion. Scroo dat.
by Scifisuz on September 10th, 2008
This is a duplicate question, maybe stated slightly differently, but still.
by Brian on September 10th, 2008
I would pay to subscribe to AB if it meant that I wouldn't see any ads or their links and if the time limits on editing my comments and questions were removed.
Of course, I realize that if the time limit for editing my questions was removed it would be my responsibility to notify anyone who answered my question before I edited it.
by DA BEN DAN yanggui zi on September 21st, 2007
don't give them ideas..I wouldn't stay.
by Lady Alathia of Vulcan on September 21st, 2007
Honestly? Probably not.
by Talimze on September 21st, 2007
I'd probably see if I could get my parents to pay for it. I need to save money.
Though, if Answerbag were to charge a monthly, I would expect some improvements and some perks if I paid.
by MG1942 Has a Life Penguin on September 21st, 2007
If it were a few dollars a month, yes. But I know some people who pay like 10-15 dollars a month for their internet provider, so I'd never pay more than that for access to any website.
by donovan reynolds. on August 11th, 2007
No, I would just have to suffer AB withdrawals...but I bet there would be a lot less idiots on here. :P
by Anna on August 11th, 2007
No, I would not if there was a fee. I like AB, but I like others would have to leave if there is a fee.
by Sheriff Raff -Answerhag on August 11th, 2007
don't you love when you spot a typo in your question and it's too late to fix it?
monthly rate... nah, I want a life time subscription with one installment.
by BrokeDog on August 11th, 2007
No, I'm with several others ... broke, (and that's not where my name came from, even tho' it fits)!
by Wickels on August 11th, 2007
I love AB, but no, I would not use this site if there was a fee.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on August 11th, 2007
No, there are many other things I should be doing. And there is always the sites I was on before for hours.
by travel breeze on August 11th, 2007
the best things in life are free.
by We miss our girl! on August 11th, 2007
Nope.
by The Urban Spaceman on August 11th, 2007
no
by Galeanda on August 11th, 2007
I might be if there was a small fee however I feel like it should only be if you want to answer and not for questioners. People should always feel free to come and inquire about something.
by slothmister on August 11th, 2007
No
by Patti jo on August 11th, 2007
I would not be able to , the way my program is set up , I don't buy anything either over the Internet

No
by claymore04 on September 18th, 2008
I am so sick of paying for everything. I would absolutely not pay and I'd bad mouth this site if they ever start that crap. We all finally find something fun that doesn't cost money.
by DudeLer 2 on September 10th, 2008
hell no.
by Anonymous on September 10th, 2008
Not a chance.
by zazzy_one on September 10th, 2008
Perhaps. Not excessively so. If I had to buy an annual subscription, I probably would do so, up to $100 annually. Any more and I could not support the expense to my husband.
It would kind of be like a dating service then too, I would probably be getting more solid advice and getting rid of trolls.
There would still be a few trolls, and just paying $100 doesn't prove you are smarter. But I suspect that most trolls wouldn't pay for venting their bile upon me, and at least most ten year olds would be eliminated from answering my complex relationship questions when they have very little experience in the arena.
by Lovehearts on September 10th, 2008
Not a chance.
by Hellaphunt's Skynet on September 21st, 2007
I would not pay. We're doing them a favor by saturating their servers with informative content and opinion from the hearts and minds of humankind. When you think about it... this information will be invaluable in the future.
by Major Look at yerself on September 21st, 2007
No. I would not pay, let alone give banking details.
by Perryman on September 21st, 2007
No, I would not pay for a subscription.
The New York Times did that to me and I said no.
They put a charge on their “Select” content.
I just read Tom Freidman’s column in an out of town newspaper. LOL
It was just announced this week. that the Times is dropping their charges for the “Select” material .
They will try to sell more online adds instead.
I appreciate that Joel and Rich are very bright people, but if I am not paying for the
New York Times, I sure am not paying for answerbag!
by 232499 on September 21st, 2007
No - there is no real value to this site for me-
by Crazy is looking 4 Imperfections. on September 21st, 2007
Sure why not
by Kiss A Fat Babys Ass on September 21st, 2007
nope
by Brian I on September 21st, 2007
Nope!
by Punny on September 21st, 2007
Fraid so...Hope the higher ups aren't listening...
by GhostWriter13 has found his voice again on September 21st, 2007
Probably not.
by inconsequential on August 12th, 2007
Lessee...
I pay a monthly subsciption fee so I can contribute answers for other people's education and/or amusement and/or irritation. :)
Nah.
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on August 12th, 2007
Yes, if I could afford it. I am a homebody and don't really like going out for entertainment all that much. I pay for my internet provider, I pay for cable TV and AB certainly entertains me as much if not more than what I read or watch..so, again, providing it were affordable I would not leave. :)
by loveschimps on August 12th, 2007
no
Should AB have a spell checker like Yahoo Answers?
