New Membership Scheme.....Coming Soon!

[John G]

People need to read Justin's initial post again.

"New Membership Scheme.....Coming Soon!
I'm currently working on a new membership scheme for the forum."

No one yet knows the details but now he is being forced to respond

If Justin hadn't posted this thread we wouldn't be having this debate - it may have been best not mentioning the scheme until everything was finalised, unless forum members feedback was needed!

No one yet knows the details but now he is being forced to respond without having worked it all out. Give him a break and the time needed to atleast give you the information required to pass judgement. It's already been stated no one is going to be forced to part with their money and if you do it's expected you will get far more back.

I take your point Andrew perhaps Justin wouldve been wiser to not say anything until he had all the full details. This is a public forum and the nature of the beast is to respond to posts left if a response is not welcome well nothing should be said until all the details were ready to be released.

Problem there paul is how will "watchers" know what the benifits of paying a membership are if they are not visable.

when "wacher" will entry suppliersection/offers etc they wont see the link or any text. only information about this section and this can be made visible by subscribibng
very simple to doon thi forum engine

do i want paying for my advice ? no not really its swings and round abouts there is the odd occasion i need some advice do i want to pay to give advice ?

I dont think I need so much advice too, but I still learn fro un asked by me questions. I still learn from other people answers. so there some problems i never asked about as I never had such problems. but i still read the post in case one day it will be me. so I still benefit

This is a public forum...

dont want to stir any poo but I was sure this this is not public forum. its private and is owned by Justin. Is for public use and this is bit diferent as in this case Justin got full right to do with the forum whatever he want to do. I think is still VERY kind of him that he still asking us about feedbacks and our thoughts. It means he care.

Dont really want to turn this into an argument paul again , im guessing you are misunderstanding what im saying ....im a member of the public , you are a member of the public and as already pointed out theres plenty of guests who come to the forum they are also members of the public we dont pay to enter the forum there are no restrictions on the forum it is a PUBLIC forum im not disputing who owns the forum Justin has got every right to do as he see's fit with the forum ive never disputed this either, ive never disputed either that i benifit in the advise from the forum just as others benefit from my advise why is it paul you seem to pick on any any point i ever make and try and make me look like some sort of trouble maker. You are a moderator of this forum i know this because it has super moderator under your name yet you seem to relish in picking on what ever i say to be honest ive had quite enough of it, as a mod you are supposed to be totally unbiased this will be my last post on this forum unless something can be done about your extremely unfair attitude towards me paul now you could sit back and say good riddance and then move on to alienating the next member and pretty soon there will be no one left to give this forum the support it needs

[Paul]

LOL! it was not my intention. I know what you meant by "public forum" now.

regards to all points that I quoted is not cos is you mate I just thought they moreinteresting. thats all. shame people see my posts as "picking"
I take my cout now and you can carry on with your "debate."
I will accept any thing that come.

Personaly I totally agree with Justin's decision to make a paid for members area, whilst still leaving a free to public talk and advice area.
It could work easily in that everyone would get to know about what offers are being offered from whom, but you would need to be a member to get access to the offer codes.
Justin cannot be expected to give his time and own money to fund the forum for everyone, but he maybe is in talks with suppliers that they could possibly advertise for free or discounted if they offer free samples and/or discounts to the paying membership. If this is the price we have to pay to stop the forum from closing and a certain percentages of members are willing to take up the offer of membership for freebee codes then so be it.

Replying to the post is not the problem, it's more the case of replying to hypothetical situations and not facts originally stated. Half the stuff being discussed was not mentioned so needn't have been dragged up. (That's not aimed at you directly by the way John)

glad i got my tin hat on

I made the comment to John to make sure he new it was a "Generalisation" rather than singled out a specific member. You seem to have jumped to the conclusion it's all about you. Don't get so sensitive Brett as it was just a generalisation and more so than that.... it was just my opinion.

Whoa there Andrew was just a joke think ill find a corner n hide
