I have been talking about how this thing we know as ActiveRain will be monetized since the day I landed here in August of 2006. Given the whole "situation" with Move.com, it looks like everyone is thinking about it now. AR's owners (am I the only one who wonders WHO they all are???) deserve to make some money for what they are doing here. No matter who they chose to buy them out, my guess is that many of us will not be pleased. That is just logical.
So it is time for those of you who want this network to stay independent, and free of ownership from an entity you don't endorse to figure out how AR can make money for its owners.
Bring forth your great ideas. Personally, I think AR is ready for some kind of paid membership, but I know many of you disagree.
