Is there any plan to communicate at all with the forum members who can't post?
If you wanted to kill a forum, I'm struggling to think of a better way to do that than by blocking the users who pay you a subscription - who are likely to be your most active participants - (as well as a few other random members like me) and then not talking to them, at all, for months, about that problem and what you're doing to fix it.
I'd be interested to see stats on post numbers. I suspect they've taken a sizeable hit.
