Since this is a nice pile on, I thought maybe I'd just add my opinion.
How about pay the $20 a month to simply support the site and the forum and have a place that we can hang out, chat, talk, let our hair down and gain lots of knowledge and information?
The "I want it all for free" attitude is a HUGE problem, because NOTHING is free rather the "free" sites means you have to actually be the product that someone is selling to someone else. That means those who are "buying the users" or rather the market places that link up "buying the users" with "selling the users" can now control things by deciding who gets to make money or not based on if they "follow the approved line".
If you want freedom of speech and especially freedom to actually say truth and fact and rights like the 2A, and want to have a place to talk, then you have to be willing to help support it directly with payments to those paying for the costs of running the website.
I pretty much just about never list anything for sale, but as long as my finances are able to afford it, I pay each month to support the site, for the above reasons.
