$10 dollar yearly fee suggestion
Just a suggestion-this is sure to stir up a hornets nest-but that is not my intention-simply an idea to improve this useful site.
Now-there are always going to be issues on any forum.But I did notice over on the fishing forum they have a $10 yearly fee-at first I was not impressed.But it was pointed out to me-all the reasons why-its not cheap to own and run these forums.
How many people join to sell one item,and never come back?
How many people cause issues-get booted off,re join in 3 minutes
under a different name and cause headaches?
Helps eliminate time wasters.
These are just a few reasons why I feel a small fee would help.Its not very
pleasant,to think of having to pay-But I no longer buy astronomy magazines or photography magazine or fishing magazines.
Now they cost a whole lot more that $10 per year,and these forums are a hell of a lot better,for improving my fishing and astrophotography etc.
On this site alone we have free access to some very good information-If you had to buy magazines it would cost alot more and would not be as good .
Anyhow-after having a minor derailment on this site and getting burned,which is no fault of the site or mods.I just had to give some
thought towards a helpful suggestion that might improve it.Some will say
"Oh-Mike makes heaps from all the adds"-but that's crap-would'nt even cover all his headache pills.
