Basically, from what I understand, GO- like any website these days- wasn't
making a lot of money off advertising, so they were having a hard time
making ends meet for things like postage (for sending out review material)
and web hosting.  Therefore, they switched over to a subscription model.  I
think they were going to try to keep the fee low (something like a dollar a
month, but I could be quite wrong on that).  It was more or less a survival
thing to make sure GO could keep going.
