In favor of the above on one condition: That a "monetary" value is given to each piece of work a contributor submits (for example, $1 for a colored picture or 5-page lemon or something) which counts towards their ability to pay for the parts of the site that become paysites.
I say this for two reasons: 1. I am unnable currently (until I can do stuff over the internet without my parents really caring or snooping) to financially contribute and 2. Contributors are never paid on this site or the DaD, and I think the people who give the site content deserve some credit to go towards being able to use other content.
I don't think that such a rule would cause inordinate amounts of submissions of crappy pics and lemons in order to get out of paying because low values could be given to truly bad works that were very obviously created for the sole purpose of providing credit and because most visitors to the site are leechers and would probably rather pay to see, say... the art section than contribute something.
