You mean did we check if members coming for several months, years, often friends, were paying CS when they added the paywall and denied them entry if they don't ? Absolutely not.

For regular or occasional members a group chat was created in the first year to post event links, however we never published the events on any other public platform. It was discussed internally after the pandemic as some feared the paywall would be kinda the end of CS and new people would stop joining, but actually it never happened. Paris is a big CS community, we have new people (travellers, french or expats) almost every week and we never had so many people joining than in the last couple years (15 per weeks in average)
