I’d pay a one time fee…maybe…if it was 10 bucks or under.

And again, that’s a big maybe. And only if the second episode is as lengthy as the first.

The 4 visits per day help a lot to make it a more fun experience, last longer, etc.

I kind of agree. I think it’s hard for Crotch Zombie to look at Forumwarz as having a business model right now since I have, from my experience, and idea where they stand are in all likelihood investing more per month than profiting. However excluding people who refuse/can’t afford to pay is a bad technique. Which is likely to result in a loss in unique visitors and page impressions.

I think creating a set of core features available to everyone and offering features to others who are willing to pay is a better idea. A good example is John Gruber at daringfireball whom is blog is accessible to anyone but if they want RSS feeds he requires a subscription/donation.

Maybe make a longer/more in-depth episode for those willing to pay. And still give out E-Peen awards to those who beat the episode but an additional to those who completed the “full version” of the episode.

But then again this is all one crazy drunks logic.
