i agree. this boils down to what kind of organization are we building. isn't it enough that people are using the net to be allowed to join @large?
1$ is around 52 pesos in the philippines. that would be around the price of one meal. with that, i hope you can understand that 25$ or more can easily be a barrier of participation, at least in the philippines. and isn't participation what @large is?
i would rather that we screen non-serious members through a minimum requirement of participation (like voting) instead of requiring them to pay unreasonable membership fees.

"Plan for what is difficult while it is easy, do what is great while it is small. The most difficult things in the world must be done while they are still easy, the greatest things in the world must be done while they are still small. For this reason sages never do what is great, and this is why they can achieve that greatness." - Attributed by Sun Tzu to warriors of ancient times.
