I won't pay.
I hope they improve their servers with the fees. I frequent their message boards as well as the site itself and there is a problem at least once a day.

Maybe it's just you.
Eventually, all newspapers will have to go this route. A lot of work and money, esp. salaries, go into producing a paper. Some people think that, if it's on-line, it should be free. How would the paper meet its expenses if most of its readers went on-line to access it without charge? I guess that I will continue to pay my $15.13 a month (taken from my checking account) to receive the hard copy of the Daily Times. I like to have it in my hands and not sit at the computer and read it.
