$45US a year.. Obviously its MUCH cheaper for us Brits with the strong strong pound at moment!! So most of us have stocked up on a couple of years while its cheap for us to do so!
Actually.. this is a really interesting thought that takes into account the "private boards" issue.
So, at this site (which I really don't want to name in public for personal reasons!), non members can access any message boards / chat rooms that are open to everyone.. But paying members can then set up up to 6 rooms (which can be either message boards or chat rooms) of their own, which can be completely private (passworded), open to only other members, or open to everyone. So non-members can enter passworded rooms too if the room owner has given them the password.
Also, one feature I do like is members can "register" more than one name (6 in fact at that site), so you can have a "secret" name for asking embarrassing questions..
Plus, members have private mail rooms (for sending messages to and from other members)..
Ofcourse, its a very different site, and not connected to mental health at all (though, as with any site, its something discussed a fair amount!)
