Was talking with a buddy that is active on a different forum. He mentioned there is a private, paying members only section. Lots of posts show up there that people don't want searchable via the internet, and don't want rando's that create an account to be able to access. Make people commit funds to see what's in it.
The reason I'm bringing it up, is because I recently took a picture of all my firearms. I'd like to share the picture, but rather not have it all over the web and for everybody to see.
Thoughts?

Spies pay to join, take your pictures, steal your guns.
Stupid, I know, but a paywall doesn't stop true criminals.

Stupid, I know, but a paywall doesn't stop true criminals. It would slow down or stop a lot of 'criminals' I think - but not so much the "anti-gunners" who'd just donate $1 to see what's there. Most criminals aren't smart enough to join a website, pay to join, find pics, find your address and rob you. Most home invasions are crimes of opportunity. Many won't steal guns either, there are far better things to steal if you want quick cash (tools, jewelry, electronics etc). I equate it to that "other" section that is members only (but not paid only)- It's better than being wide open, but in reality, anyone can create an account to see it without any further scrutiny. I would share that photo with friends but not the interwebs - but that's just my opinion. Once on the web, always on the web. Even in a "private" forum.

It stratifies the membership into a sort of caste system and breeds contempt. I understand what you’re saying snozz but trust me it doesn’t end well. This is true. It also divides discussion. You know how we lock a thread now if it's a duplicate, so discussion all stays in one thread? Well, if you've got a "cool people" section and a "little people" section, you can't really do that if there's the same thread in each. So, you get two half-hearted threads rather than one good one.
