oh yes, the old "you've had it, are accustomed to it now we're going to make you pay for what you've had for free" routine.
I was part of a chat community (a host even) that attempted to do the same thing a little over 2 years ago. Some may remember it, TalkCity. Well, there was major chaos over having to pay to chat. That in turn lead to even more disruption in the rooms. Eventually, (within months) the entire community folded and TalkCity ceased to exist. Period!
It's been tried with other communities and failed miserably. MSN is making a huge mistake with their attempt to stifle trouble by making people pay for the right to free speech :(
