Opening this forum to non-subscribers?

I recall when the 3D Content area was only open to SWSubscribers. At the time, I decided against contributing, because Ifelt that I was being asked to voluntarily create content for SW to"sell" to subscribers.

Now I have the same thoughts about these forums. They are avaluable resource. But again, I am thinking that if I am beingasked to create content for SW to sell to subscribers.

I realize that a forum like this, and the 3D Content site take timeand money to maintain. But, since MANY such sites exist elsewherewithout a cost to utilize, I suspect that the costs are minimal ormade up by the benefit of advertising.

Shall we suggest to SW that they open the forums tonon-subscribers?
