It costs $5 to get an account on MetaFilter. It seems to be working for them. They've been that way for a long time. Heck, people even donate to the site after paying the entry fee. I'll admit I don't have an account there, but I could see it happening. The issue I've had with MetaFilter isn't that they want money to join, or their community. It's that their comments are a flat list. I doubt Hubski would continue to grow. I see it becoming the online equivalent of a stagnant gated community.
