I'm not a big fan of a paying system. Not because I don't want to pay for FT, but because I think it would scare off a lot of new members.

Whenever I see boards that I can't post on, or worse - even preview - without paying some kind of fee, I keep moving. Boards like that may keep annoying people out, but they also keep a lot of people who probably have something worthwhile to add to the discussion, meaning we all lose out.
