The Question and Answer Board

Don't be too sure. While I won't promise anything at this point, and do plan on some features being ala carte upgrades (realtime quotes, for example -- can't do it any other way), the motivation to add a large superset of extra-cost features here is nowhere near as strong as it was with SI.

Here, I think only about 5% of members are Grandfathered or Lifetime. On SI, it was more like 90%. The only way to make it economically feasible to serve such a large number of legacy users without ads was to roll out the feature superset and hope the uptake on the added subscription would be good, which it has been.
