It's not a bad idea. But the idea of making the DaD a paysite makes me wonder if it will drive some people away. People might get discouraged at the idea of the site they knew to be free asking for 20 dollars a year to see what they saw before at no cost.
Here's a different idea, with the same tactics.
Why don't we add something special for the site? "Insiders" can pay to access this special thing, whatever it'll be, and "Outsiders" get just what they've always gotten from this site, with nothing extra except for previews to the insider feature. That should bring in the money we need, and maybe attract more viewers without losing any to discouragement. However, whatever we come up with will have to be worth the community's money.
