Premium Membership Poll - Your thoughts please

The uksignboards has different levels of membership ranging from £14.99 up to £74.99. Surely a tenner is not a lot to ask.

Yes, but the UKSB has a load of different levels with access available depending on whats paid. The DSF has either free, or pay for access to everything.

hi guys
i paid i think 3 days after a become a member of the forum. the reason quite simple i had help from from the very first post i written. i cant help people with advice but if my 10 pounds helps to keep the forum going then i feel its a sort of thank you for the help given. hopefully one day i can return the advice and help i have been given. i give free advice on a dog training forum some i get great pleasure from watching dogs come on and improve others get a quick answer and they are gone. iam afraid thats human nature and will happen on any forum. i know this is buissness and not hobby related. but if you stopped helping giving advice then it would become a chit chat forum. i would consider making it £10 every 6 months and the magority of information in the paid section only. thanks to all who have replied to my post with help in the past

The reason I didn't pay the night I joined was simply I didn't have a spare tenner lol I got into this business at the wrong time of year, very quiet for me and the bills are more than the earnings at the moment.

I paid because it mentions it at the top of the forum and forums cost money to run. I didn't pay for the discounts, paid so the forum keeps running as it's full of good information and now I've found it I don't want it to disappear.

I'm not on many forums but from my experience there are always people who come on asking questions, get their information and don't have the courtesy to even reply nevermind thank anyone.

ive seen a couple of threads recently which to be honest make me say "bloody cheek" from new commers who havnt paid membership who are trying to up their post count so they can view members links (gotta wonder why thats so important to them )

Ah that'll be my thread you're meaning. Seeing links wasn't important at all, was just wondering what folks were linking to. I also looked at someones profile, don't remember whose as I wanted to see what sort of things people put in their profiles. Nothing sinister in it just a general nose around to see what others had before I added anything so I wouldn't do anything wrong. I was posting a lighthearted thread about post count and links as there were no threads I could reply to as I'm new to this, don't have much experience and don't really know much.

Woops. I didnt even realise I wasnt a premium member. After being here all these years, but not visiting much recently I suppose I should go sort it out now.

I was ................. then I didn't do much sublimation, mainly embroidery & DTG so didn't visit the forum for a long time, membership lapsed. Needless to say my epson didn't want to play ball any more, and a visit to BMS for other supplies ended in a Ricoh purchase just before Christmas.

2 weeks ago finally got round to setting it up - something not right!!! Sunday, who can I ask?

Large mug of coffee, some serious forum reading & found links to Sawgrass pages that I couldn't find and BINGO. Printed out Paul's very helpful mug test template and it came out brilliant.

Thank you to all contributors for the useful info that lurks here, membership on its way.

the bloody cheek bit wasnt aimed directly at you but i did wonder why it was so important for you to see the links on peoples profiles just my suspicious mind i suppose no offence meant

If I could be so bold as to add a little feedback Justin/everyone?

Now, before I start I 'am' going to pay the premium membership - I've just not got around to it to be honest.

When I could see the 'Official Supporters Private Section' section last year I didn't really take much notice but I am now 'no-longer' able see it, and to do so would require joining the premium club.

What I want to ask (as I now see the forum as a newbie would), is 'what would be in it for me' by joining the club? I know there are offers and discounts to be had but I can only see the topic titles which doesn't tell me too much. Is there a generic list of offers and discounts of what I would get?

Also, I will say that my £10 will be (as others say) to support this forum 99% with the odd discount at 1%, and I support this forum because of the hard work by Justin and other members who make this what it is ................... but, if I was a newbie I would not know anyone so I wouldn't be thinking that way, but thinking more of 'what do I get back' ?

Thanks Justin - I'm sure I could remember a post being made but I couldn't find it when I had a quick look the other night
