Just a thought for admin to maybe consider looking into. As on other paid memberships on different forums you get a member number or even likes of cliosport a full membership pack including members card what alloys discounts at a lot of automotive related companies likes of demon tweeks and other big companies. Just a thought.________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Not really, Saxp has a little advertising box in the top right hand corner and cliosport has a box at the bottom of the page what links you to a site that offers club discounts just as we have a box for the cars for sale section________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Even little things like the smiley selection is better than some forums with 400 of them to choose from. Some of the sigs on here are grotty enough as it is, who'd want enormous unsightly pics of your car too look at each time you post "  "? Is that a desired forum attribute? f**k. That. s**t. The layout does not need altering. Yikes, I guess I'm far too old.  This^^^^ Toms nailed it... I remember when Jamrag first appeared and he had the 'guess what I've found' in his sig that took up the space of five posts, most annoying thing ever. Massive sigs with pics and other assorted bo***cks are just mega annoying. I was on Cliosport for a while and thought it was sterile. This place has character but less characters lately, the banter is most definitely on the decline. ________________________________________ Almost standard 1999 Bianca RallyeHilux InvincibleX daily 306 No.13  Carp and specialist Anglers Click here |

That's the only problem here, its slowly dying a slow death, as are others, especially when they have unprofessional admin & mods, of which here isn't the case iv found overall.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

Personally I dont mind paying at all and feel a bit annoyed by those that refuse to pay.However... the choice was made to go paid so that the site would be smoother and not crash so much as there were too many people using the site. Now theres very few people using it maybe it should be free to try to build the place back up again. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

I'm from from the other side of the world so unfortunately don't get as much out of the social side of the forum (though the banter cracks me up). The tech articles & knowledge are a brilliant resource & I don't mind contributing a couple of quid to gain access to them- a yearly membership fee however is probably not worth it for me & so I'd prefer to cope with a small amount of advertising if that helps the finances of keeping the forum running.My 2c.

Aaron - It'll never be free again, there is little point in that.As I've said before, the interest in these cars has dropped to an all-time low. This is partly due to price, but mainly due to people moving on.  Yes, the fact that the forum has a membership fee has probably put a few off, however the vast majority have left because they don't own the car anymore and have naturally moved on to something else. Making it free again won't really help get interest back up in the vehicle I don't think you'll find. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
