Suggestion: after a month, you must become a producer or leave the Gulch.

It would be beneficial for a newcomer to have some time to determine if they want to be in the Gulch, but in order to stay, they should be willing to pay the yearly fee.
I would like to hear if this is a good idea or not, and why

The devil is in the details.
One of the first comments I made when joining the board was to a non-member who wanted to know if they would be welcomed if they failed to upgrade. My position then, and is now, if you are interested in an occasional exclusive look into Ayn Rand’s personal experience or you want to take part in an occasional group objectivist lecture or meet an online guest, then upgrading is for you. Some of the things that I have had a chance to see or take part in as a paying member have been interesting. I don’t believe anyone should feel compelled to contribute or join. This is a very welcoming site. I would like to see it remain so.
Although, I would like to see less contributions and insults from those who just don’t like Ayn Rand. It’s one thing for an online community to ‘hold your hand’ because you are bored and lonely, and quite another thing to hold your hand while you are taxing our patience and insulting our values.
It’s not hard; it can be done. I’m not an Objectivist and probably never will be, but I have many online friends here who treat me very well and I upgraded for my own selfish pleasure.
So, no thank-you. I do not like your idea.
