Maybe someone from IMDB will read this and give us this option.
If yesterday instead of the message we got it would have said this:
IMPORTANT:
The cost of running the message boards is going up. So to keep them open we are asking if most of you would be willing to pay $10 a month or $100 dollars for a year to help with the costs. We will keep an eye on all the boards and if most of you agree we will bill your account accordingly. So please in the next two weeks voice your opinion.
Thank you.
IMDB
If that is what it said how would you have responded?
I will start. I would have said YES

I would have paid a monthly fee to keep talking with everyone here!
My thoughts exactly. Sadly they are not even giving us an option to pay.

This place is home to some of my best friends, and I'll miss you all TERRIBLY!
I cannot believe They are taking it away.

I would have been more convinced they were hacked (at first) and then I would say farewell to the boards.

I would be willing to pay if the boards were monitored.

I would agree to pay $10 / month, but wouldn't pay the annual fee until I see that the boards are being monitored diligently.

I would have agreed. Even better if it could have been a part of Prime, since I'm already a member there. I hate change and this is all very upsetting to me.

I would've signed up.
No trees killed in the sending of this message, but many electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

I would have said YES. This place has been my home away from home for 14 years and I would have gladly paid for the privilege of speaking with everyone here.

I'm secretly hoping that this severely impacts the daily site hits.
Don't hold your breath. Any impact to their site traffic would be minimal, if anything at all. Their site is widely used all over the world.

IMDb has been owned by Amazon for many years now. In fact, when I joined in 2005, it was owned by Amazon even then.
That's how I discovered IMDb, in fact. I used to read & write reviews for products on Amazon.com, and kept seeing a mention of:
"Like this film? Discuss it with others on IMDb.com!"
So one day I clicked on the link, and the rest is history.

IMDB is now owned by Amazon. Maybe they should have taken the approach of offering membership with a Prime account. That way, their Prime membership could have risen.
Either way, this is complete BS and I'm secretly hoping that this severely impacts the daily site hits. There are thousands of posters here that use these boards as a reference for many different things.
I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
