Title: pay to join CIU
Post by: daz1977 on April 22, 2010, 08:28:06 am
would you pay to join CIU, say 5 per year, for this it was independent and u could say what u wanted with out the fear of getting banned, (except for personal attacks), as there seems to be the opnion that they are bowing down to advertisers by having certain threads deleted

your opnions please

I would pay for a professional members forum, but not for the drivel that gets put on here. 4 in 5 posts are pointless. It's like being in a playground with drunk kids.

no one tosh, i was just thinking that, with all the moaning about people getting banned and advertiser,  would it be better if it was member owned and was free to say what we wanted

There are already forums out there were you can say what you want (within reason)

if you dont like what your reading...you know the answer ;D

or get your coat ;D ;D

still plenty of good info on here amongst the drivel when i started
in 2006 this forum amongst others was a great help especially at
putting through the idea of wfp.

i dont see much new info on here these days after three yrs of being
a member but it still serves a purpose for others.

i just come on here now for a nose and for a laugh at the more witty
posters.

if you want a professional members club...sorry i meant forum
why dont you start one,somewhere comfortable to sit where
you  can wear your smoking jacket cravat and sip brandy and smoke
cigars :D

i pay on a football forum but this os for running the server due top the large amount of fans. they also dont not allow adverts on the forum either.

to me this site is run for profit whereas the site i use isn't and money is donated to charity and stuff and also the running of server.

Spot on, I know of 9 competitors of mine that use this forum, I know there log in names and can see when they come on but never post, that is why I use certain forums for certain questions  ;)

I'm guessing it is CM your on about. If so I didn't renew because I grudged paying again, and I would be against it here. Who would have access to the funds, would there be acounts published so all members knew where the money was or what it had been spent on.

I agree. It would be better to charge a fee and then the quality of posts would rise.

And membership would dwindle to nothing

 Pay to join? I`ve already joined.
 What about `pay per post`?  Say a £1 for every post you make.                       
   That would be interesting.

Paying to join will kill this forum. Its the large amount of members that make it attractive.Look at other forums and see some times there is often no one on them.
