Would you pay for an online subscription to the Times-Daily?

The administrator said in one of his posts that TD would not charge a fee.

I am sure it is coming. I am going let my subscription run out for delivery and not renew it. I did not even receive a copy today and a few days ago I got 2 in the paperbox, so I am not sure what is going on with the delivery person.

DecaturDaily does this.  You only get their full website if you are a paper subscriber . . . Or at least that how it was.  Haven't checked in months.

Maybe they should charge per comment so people would stay on topic.

IMO, there isn't enough 'news' in the TD to justify buying it.

Seems like a good time for a competitor to move in and take over.

Has anyone seen the paper version of the TD lately.  Looks like it's half the size it used to be and the price is higher.  I haven't gotten one in a very long time.

We are committed to providing great, open forums for the TNValley.

Now that would be the last nail in the coffin...

I'm willing to pay exactly what I am paying now  and that is nothing...

This absurd format is trouble enough, they should have provided a key to show how the old functions could be found and accessed on the new format.  

If I could get my puzzle page without having to print out 4 different things, and find online  the comics I love without problem, I would give up the subscription.

I wish there was a weather section in the online paper. I liked to know how much rain we have been getting. Am I alone in this?

bamamama, there is a neat website that shows rain totals for each day--and you can participate on it--

I have a CoCoRAHS rain gauge in our backyard.  From Monday through Wednesday night, we had 7.17 inches of rain at our house.

Problem is that our "vote" doesn't mean anything. If they start charging, there are still plenty of free newspapers.

I would if it was economical and I didn't have to see any advertisements or failing that very minimal and unobtrusive to my reading experience. I also would recommend instituting a policy that you can still peruse old news free. Say after two or three days the articles become free to view. Then after a year they are archived and a subscription is required to access them.

I think there should be some arrangement that when your paper is soggy wet, or doesn't arrive at all you have a code to get on line and read the entire paper.  I'd prefer it to be totally on line, and that should be cheaper as it cuts out the delivery person.  I don't care what they do about the forum as there are plenty of others out there if this one folds.
