That's not how I mean't it at all

I do appreciate all comments & suggestions but have to make the best decisions I can for all members, this may not always be popular with everyone.

Please don't consider yourself 'told off' that wasn't the intention. i should have responded to your comments and for this I apologise.

Hi all,

Why not just set a one off registration fee of say £3.00?

If you get just 2 members a week join, thats £6.00 and the hosting is only £6ish. Over a month that total will increase and before you know it you've got a few years supply of cash.

I dont like the idea of an "elite" section where content is hidden. Im a member of a signmaking forum and i think that valuable info is hidden away + the forum admins aren't really that nice.

Please dont let this place get all messed up with paying and whatnot. ive seen too many forums go wrong when cash is introduced.

Im more than happy to kinda backdate my membership and pay say £3.00 for the privelidge. This forum is getting stronger by the week. Its not too late to ask for cash now. I think some members have hit the nail on the head regarding advertisers and citicism of their products, lets keep this place independant and free of bias.

Cheers
Dave.

A small one-off fee sounds like a good idea. Putting it into practice may not be all that easy, it would mean following up each new registration with an email and then we may be looking at removing new members who don't pay.

My aim all along has been to be able to offer the forum to all members for nothing but I've had to ask recently for some help.

It does become complicated where member levels are introduced. This first funding target was met very easily, we shouldn't need to do this very often but for the time being I think it's best to see how things go. I've covered a few other bits and bobs to improve the forum myself.

I do appreciate your comments Dave and will take your ideas onboard for future consideration
