    No. I'd probably just revert back to good ole pen and paper.

    ^^ This! The reason I'm using it, is because its free.

    No. MFP is useful but not worth paying for.

    More than likely No. Sad as that is to say it one of the free sites that helps with weight loss. With the current economy it is a want not a need.

    If they would invest it in improving the mobile apps (android has a couple of bugs that one can workaround and a couple of usability flaws) and the overall performance and quality I'd probably consider it. Of course this would depend on the pricing.

    A general "no"? No!

    I would have to say no, it's hardly worth paying for! There are so many other option, I'm sure I could find something else.

    It would depend on how much and the terms... I don't want another monthly fee. Cheap annual fee, maybe.

    Would depend on price, but first thought is no.

    No. I have used and liked My Food Diary dot com and really like it. I am starting to see some disadvantages with MFP being free. I don't mind paying for something if it has value. I may go back to My Food Diary as it stores your entries and you can add/delete as needed.

    Probably, depending on price.

    There are no other free sites with a good/big enough food database, especially for UK people.

    And a reason for charging would be to speed up development and iron out bugs...

    Yes, there are. I just happened to come across this site. It was the first one that I used and I just stuck with it. There are other sites with lots of other features, though.

    I just came across that site today when I was thinking about closing my account here. I think that they charge about $100+ for a year. I need to test it out first to make sure that it has everything, but I like that you can't even see the forums without being a member. Like you said, there are some disadvantages to having certain things free.

    I wouldn't have tried it out in the first place if it wasn't free.

    I would look at other sites, consider the price, and make the best decision for me.

    No. Same way I don't pay to use a gym. If I can do it in a way that costs me nothing, that's how I do it.

    Seeing what I saw till now, I'd rather pay for this than the other option I use that also has a payed option.
    Mostly because it is more userfriendly.

    Apart from that. As long as there are free portals for tracking what I eat and do, I will keep at them.

    I tell people all the time about MFP. The first thing I tell them is that it is free! That is the best part!

    Nope. Too many bugs. I like it but the pace of development is too slow, improvements come at a snail's pace.

    Of course that would depend on pricing, too.

    ^^ Also this.

    And because there are free alternatives and MFP is not so much better as the rest that it is worth the money.
