As far as I know, the answer is no - although Rabbit1 will be able to give you the definitive answer on this one.

Back in the olde site days there were no banners, merry subs ran naked from forum to forum and Dom/mes sat back relaxing in their favourite arm chairs.

There was a part of the site which you could pay to visit, and a few did. But the site grew; and the bare feet of the many subs wore the carpet thin and Dom/mes demanded replacements to their worn out floggers. Tiger once again went to his pot of money from the paying part of the site and found that there was not enough to cover the cost of running this wonderful establishment so had to invite sponsors to help support us.

Initially this move was universally hated by everyone, Dom/mes struted in a frustrated manner, subs cried at the feet of the empty leather arm chairs and there was a air of general misery.

A few left, some returned, but we have come to embrace the harsh reality that bandwidth and server space has to be paid for. The great Dom/mes in the sky could have charged us all for accessing this wonderful place or kept it free to all. Most of us applaud the fact that it is still a free site.

Awaiting Rabbit's confirmation, but I am sure I would have heard if there was a way of paying a subscription...
