I get that, I'd take the "no one leaves" side of that bet. The IBD alone is roadblock enough for a server you actually use.

No one leaves till they need support and have to pay $100 to get it. You will only have people who bought machines or have the money to pay for the right to have support.

So people think that they should get infinite free support from paid employees that crowds out people who actually bought the product when they made a custom device and downloaded a free, open source, secure, custom OS that took years to build and get working properly and they think they are entitled to someone else's time and assistance because... why exactly? @Start9 you guys should change it to $100 a year honestly. You really want to keep the communists out of the group. Just sayin.

I'm sorry I am for open source projects. Name any other company that successfully charges there user base for techsupport. Guarantee any example is a business or corp software solution or w/e. They could have just said we will not be continuing to provide free support to diy users. The real thing if they want money is too sell an os license and get free support. My only gripes is it's one time use and if you lose it your sol. This comcommunity is based on open-source so once you make a pay wall we just say fuck you and make out own shit with community supporters.

This is the ONLY way to prevent spam and scammers.
