>I've been a participant for several years, but have never been a subscriber. While I used to receive a tremendous amount of help a few years ago, I never needed any functionality past the basics so I didn't feel the need to get a subscription. I understand that morally I probably had some obligation, but at the same time I knew my employer wouldn't cover it and personally I am pretty cheap.

RSS feed for news is on the way. But, it will not be applicable to the support area as this requires a login and several other issues are related to it.

I am not sure about the Twitter integration. Could you elaborate more on the topic?

I wouldn't want to apply restriction on posting of messages either by regular members or subscribers.

We had a point system before but it didn't work quite well. So, we had to remove it. This has created too much fights and races to obtain the points and so on.

I like number 5. We already have the download section but I understand that a better system might help. I also want to implement a new option for subscribers which will add, probably in the subscription panel, the list of recent threads which contain code. I have found that more and more threads that contain code are highly valuable. So, the robot could populate a relationship table and make it available on the site. There could also be another option added on the toolbar for that.

I do not understand point 6. Could you elaborate more on it?

Basicaly, if some of that would be done, do you think it would then worth more about subscribing?
