ANY ONE upgrade to a paid member yet?????

[94fordguy]

It was tough but I scraped together $29.95 for 3 years

Same here... just paid my way also, as I said I would....



Yikes, I just voluntarily paid to get yelled at lol

The one really big surprise we have had so far is that 81% of the paid members are going for the 3 year option.

That was totally unexpected!

Just goes to show the level of confidence they have in SnoWest!

 

[Beels]

So what's the total number of users that paid, as of now?

 

[MARV1]

So a mod has to pay? Sucks, one would think it would be a part of their package deal.

 

[208_RMK]

this sucks

 

[dan8485]

So if all these peeps are leaving, where is the new hang out???

I highly doubt that I will pay for something that it is supposed to be free!!!

I don't know. This is still one of the most active sites, that I have been looking at.

It is actually.

Several of us however have chosen to pay anyway as a way to further support the forum, and the sport.

And some peeps have told us our opinions didn't count or didn't matter because we got it for free.........so some of us have opted to pay for that reason, and those mentioned by 94fordguy.

I returned a few bags of cans and scraped together 29.95 for three years.

If we are going to pay, most will look for the best value...$10 bucks a year (3 year option) shouldn't break anyones bank. Who hasn't got $10 worth of information on here??? For me, being able to see and hear about all the aftermarket products, home grown how to's, and sharing riding conditions around Alaska is well worth $10 a year.

The "other site" hasn't really evolved into much, even after all the whining the past few months. I plan on staying here.

I think snowest should have looked at other websites that also have a buy in option.. its just that an "option"
It appears this will be no option.. more like extortion.
There are lots of ways a forum can make money..You got alot of mine this year..
Take KTMTalk.com for instance they have a lifetime member option that is paid and there are some very nice things that go along with that..
far more than your user name highlighted. (access should be free). I left grade school a long time ago..
But, It is a private forum so they have the right to do whatever they wish..
Its the users choice whether to patronage them or not..

I've seen the opposite, way more traffic at a few other sites I know of. I don't dare mention names, folks have been getting sent to banned camp for bringing up other sites as of late.

 

[copter6]

not going to pay!

 

[SledGimp]

hmmmmm?

So how much have you given to the forum through your donations? Since you brought it up I thought I would ask.

A lot of other forum options were looked at before this option was choose, this is what they thought would be best going forward. Will it be? Only time will tell.

So what all did you get at KTMTalk with your lifetime membership and how much was it?

 

[smokindave]

Well I signed up for the three years,thats only two days without food.
And then someone says mods don't have to pay.I guess I could stand too lose a couple pounds,you know power to weight ratio.

 

[togwotee9]

[Scott]
