Having such a high monthly fee would help separate those of us who are serious about sharing knowledge much more apt to do so. I could show people how to make tons of money using simple black hat techniques, but I would NEVER post them here (or even in a $25.00/month forum) because as soon as the sheeple try them, they'll die out.
I recommend a basic forum free, and a super expensive expensive forum for the rest of us.

I get your point but that sounds kinda steep man. Think about it, you're going to pay $200 just to share your ideas not knowing what anyone else will share. Not saying I wouldn't pay it but I would have to know there is some seriously good shit in there.
I haven't been a member for long but here's my opinion.
A few months back I joined another paid forum (won't mention which one). The quality of info was very good at first and as more members joined it seemed to die down. It doesn't matter if you make it $20 a month or $50 a month. Unless it is limited to a number of people I think you will find that the quality of information will go down over time as more people join.
Especially considering since the only thing keeping those who aren't serious out is the money. It still doesn't mean you're not going to have newbies going in there and just leeching the info for the monthly fee and making some feel uncomfortable sharing.
Are you not going to promote the paid section? Of course you are, which means over time you will get more and more members and less and less sharing...but that's just my opinion.
