Re:subscriptions for non-banner-ads (Score 1)

If you really ignore the banner ads on top of the page, and suppose everybody else does the same, consider how non-pay sites as Slashdot should keep on running with traffic expenses, and no income at all. Hopefully you'll realize that we'll be faced with a small fee sooner or later. And it's nothing but fair. All it takes is getting used to the thought.

I would pay - and you'll be faced with reality soon enough.
