Is there a way to create a forum with phpBB so you have to pay membership fee to join it?
The same way as with paid membership on countless websites: Use admin activation (and allow guests to see only the absolute neccessary) and only active after confirmation of payment.
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.
Time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana.
This feature has been sorely needed. Lots of people nowadays are wanting to monetize their site in any way possible, and paid membership subscriptions are a somewhat standard practice in niche communities.
potential solution (beta) - This extension is in beta, but it is the most promising solution thus far. viewtopic.php?t=2483111
This one is in the CBD, but it only supports one donor group. You could modify the donations extension to allow for more groups if you know how, then I guess there would be two solutions...
I am a web developer/administrator, specializing in forums. If you have work you need done or are too lazy to do, pm me!

That's always assuming you can get them to pay in the first place of course. I don't suppose there'll be many to remove, I certainly wouldn't join a "pay for view" message board.
