Would you pay to be a member of Howard's Bulletin Board?

This doors of the Howard Stern BB were re-opened wide this week. Registration is now open and many of the banned have been allowed to return. And it didn't take long for trouble to begin. Someone posted High Pitch Eric's phone number and according to Eric on the air today he received over 85 calls this weekend. The BethO bashing has revved up again, the flaming of members have begun again (yours truly is experiencing that joy) and Howard today for the third time in as many weeks said he is considering shutting the place down. He even told High Pitch Eric today, "Just say the word Eric and I will shut it down." Howard did mention another idea today: Making the place a paysite to help keep the troublemakers out. Would you pay to be a member of Howard's BB? That is the qustion today, my very first Poll question here in this blog so please cast your vote and leave a comment or two if you like:

(voting is now closed)

Despite all of its problems it's still a cool place to hang out. I even got to chat alittle with Perry Farrel from Jane's addiction there this week but will I want to pay in the future for such a privilege? Hmmm....For me it depends on the fee.
A one-time or yearly fee of less than $20 I might go for. Any more and I am not so sure...How about you? Cast your vote from now until election day and we will let you know the results.


Thanks to all of those that voted. Overwhelmingly the fans have voted that they would not pay one red cent to be a member of Howard Stern's Bulletin Board.
It is,however,still too close to call in the State of Ohio.
