I'd have to leave because unfortunately I am not able to pay. But I'd find a way to hack into the system and still be a member without paying Maybe it would be a good thing because I won't be addicted to internet that much anymore. Just joking lol, it would still depress me.

It depends on if the community even survived the damage. If it did, then I'd pay. If it didn't...well...

there'd be no real point to it would there.

Chances are it would not survive intact, that being said.

I'd leave in a heartbeat. It's not like I don't want to pay, it's I can't, and even if I can, I wouldn't. 'Cause you know, there are loads of other Pokemon forums out there.

That happened to me once, I was playing some online game and like, you need to pay and stuff. It was fun but not worth it.

PC would become more exclusive and more like it was back in the olden days of yore. I might stick around seeing as I've already donated $40 already between my two main accounts just to see how PC would change and how dynamically different the "feel" becomes. XD

I'd honestly pay just to be on here it's a great community/forum and would never leave it even if it was a monthly subscription I usually somehow get spare change or dollars where I can add on my PayPal or even debit card for that matter. So I don't think I'd leave it anytime soon. xD

I wouldn't be able to afford it, so I'd be gone. It probably wouldn't be worth staying anyway since most of the active members would leave.

Well I guess it depends on how much it would cost to be a part of this community. If it's an affordable amount, I'd probably pay. PC is a pretty great forum.

I'd leave in an instant. Why would I pay to stick around a place that basically sensors the alternate word for donkey >_>?

Honestly, I'd probably leave. It's not that I couldn't afford it -- it's that I think it wouldn't be right to make members pay for the site. I understand that PC's servers have to be paid for but they've been doing it for years with free membership and I doubt they'll actually need all of us to pay to stay alive. Therefore I'd just leave on principal. >_<

There's a slim chance I'd stay, because I've been here for years and don't want to leave, but I think the injustice of it all would win in the end. Maybe.

I swear to god if you give Steve ideas I'm gonna cry. ;;

I would probably have to leave, as I don't currently have a job...but once I had a job that paid enough for me to be able to afford the fee (if it was subscription based) I'd be back on in a heartbeat. And if it was a one time fee, I would just save up what I could, irregardless of how much it actually was.

I sound addicted to the site or something...>__>

I have a lot of friends here, but if I had to pay I couldn't stay. I don't have that kind of money.

Even if I did pay there wouldn't be much of a Community to Pokemon Community after the fact that fee's are set in place. I would more then likely leave though since I currently don't have a job, and there are many pokemon forums out there.

Well if I HAD to pay, i'd leave, although I'd feel bad about it...
But still, I'd line to make a donation to PC, unfortunately, i don't have an account to do so, and I really don't like that Credit card payment thingy...

Well, if we were to pay monthly, I'd just have to say "Tata" to Pokécommunity. I am already paying some online game, and also, I need to pay yearly a subscription to Deviantart because I love what a premium member can do there.
So, PC + DA + Online Game + Other things I pay IRL = bankrupt / Angry father

And well, if we had to pay only once, and never again in order to register on PC, I doubt it'd be so full of people.

I like PC the way it is, and I hope it will never change.
