A *lot*. And I suspect that $200/year would price out most people. You might be able to sell it at "$10/month" (of course then you have even more costs involved with establishing and maintaining a payment/subscriber system), at which point you need thousands of subscribers.
If it goes to a subscriber-only model, the value to sponsors drops dramatically along with the traffic to the site. On the flip side, if non-subscribers can get everything for free that subscribers pay for, then you will have significantly less subscribers.
