John, You are right, free and funded by advertisements...
But at this point of time UT is popular in the FoxPro Forum, we need to have the same amount of messages ( average of 400 per days) in two other forum before we can make the cost of PUTM go down.

With two other Forums popular UT will get more advertisments and will bring the cost of PUTM down. Plus for a Forum with a average of 100 messages a day, you do not need the PUTM options.

So SQL Server and VB Developers will not pay $50 for a Forum with 100 messages a day. We need the Free Basic membership to get the forum popular. Then when your forum of choice is popular you need the PUTM options to filter the messages you what to see. With more PUTM we can also bring down the cost of PUTM membership.

John, you can help by creating thread like this one in the VB Furom :)
