Hi Hawk,
I put this down to English not beng your first language so I ignore idiom and look the relevant points instead.
Don't want to pee on your strawberry's, but a subscription forum means you need to find money to pay you, your journalists and anyone else who contributes, besides web rent. Otherwise, it all looks a bit sharkish.
I've been doing the photo's on a double-page spread in a UK national sports glossy, (EMAP magazines, web-search them for the scale of operations) circa 300,000 purchases per month, it only pays us 250 sterling each edition which we share between two of us. This takes up travel, consumables, on-site costs, photography and admin time at 80 words per minute. We provide our own wine when doing the actual writing. It is just about break-even, we only do it because we are interested/passionate/investing in our futures. Any less, we couldn't afford to do it.
Careful how you recruit your contributors, you're going to be running a business and they will expect, at least, costs if not payment. After all, you will be making money yourself.
