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.

The problem with your items is that there are other free sites that have no restrictions and have the positive items (like the reputation points, etc). They could simply push the non-subscribers elsewhere.
