I agree with ewest that you want to create a place where you can bring people in. The forum is what brought me to Pond Boss. After I was digging onto forums, I bought the magazine and a few books.

At this point I would pay for the forums and the resources, but I would have never visited if I had to pay to get started.

Exactly. This is the behavior of 99% of users on the web. cutting them off would be a HUGE mistake (please remember these are just my opinions).
