That sounds like a good approach to me ... it's also a bit less of a dramatic change from everything free.

That's really interesting. You obviously have a vocal fan base. The worst I would have expected to see was a silent drop off. Of course, whether you "keep all the money" or not is totally up to you, you can do what you want and just not tell anyone (which is what Cinisajoy meant in the first place).
