Friends of Nissan 4x4, should it be a fiver again?

It may only be a few pence a week but the yearly price total of £10 will put some people off.

You will soon be able to pay your road tax monthly:clap

I bet you will pay more though....monthly instalments and all that

... The other possible option would be to scrap the subscription fee altogether, but that would mean introducing things like banner ads etc....

Only if you want every Tom Dick and Harry to come in, some with their pointless and argumentative discussions.
I like many others, am a member of other forums, in my case boating forums, and those that have paid members are more friendly, but the free sites tend to have a few regulars who pull apart every post, looking for hidden messages and misquoting, and misinterpreting innocent posts.

There are far more heated and pointless discussions on the free forums, than on the paid subscription ones, in my opinion.
Or is it just me who thinks this?

I feel like we are all family, helping and advising each other, but most are strangers to each other. I have never known this on any other forum.:thumb2

When you dont pay your £10, you loose the access to PM's and part of the site.

But you can still drop in and post.

Do we need a £5 membership

Actually no its just going to be 5% premium compared with the current 10% for paying twice a year

As said before I do not have the answers, but I like this site and the people on it, that is why I am still here, in all other things that I do I am completely independent, and self sufficient, a bit of a loner if you like, I hate asking for help on anything, and left to my own devices usually get there, but sometimes time becomes a factor and that is about the only time I ask, but by the same token I know I have the knowledge on most things and am more than willing to share it, I do not think £10 per year is going to break anyone's bank and if that is what is needed to keep the time wasters out then great, but diminishing T2/Mav owners? I do not know the answer, Rick

I completely agree. I too am a member of several forums and the point scoring that occurs on most is shocking to be honest but here it is far more civilised.
Also I have recently paid my £10 even tho my old patrol has been off the road since August and probably won't see Tarmac again for some time.

I think, as has already been said, you already have 2 choices, someone can come on here and not pay a penny, have limited access, but get a feel for the place or they pay their tenner and have full access and join in all the fun and frolics...

I can't really see it making any difference if it is a tenner or a fiver, if they are cash strapped enough to question if it is worth staying a member, having already been a member on here for a couple of years, and already know how great the site is, then maybe they are not one of the people that would be missed if they left anyway.

The thing is, some people have left, even though their membership still had a while to run, so it kind of already points to the fact that having a reduced fee would not actually make a difference any way.

Freudian slip

Would it be possible to extend members other vehicles a little so there were sub-categories for males. That might help retention?

For males read makes !! LOL

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

As I said, I am happy to keep the site as it is, and to pay my tenner, I was just trying to hold on to our old friends who get new cars. They also have a wealth of experience through their Nissan ownership to share :thumb2

Amen to that!!! Are we talking about a certain member that is talking about leaving?

If we could keep all of the current members and have Ryan back that would be perfect

All members including Ryan! We want to keep our team together, that's what mates do :thumb2

Sub categories for males, so we should have one for females too.:thumb2
Talking of which... Where have all the ladies gone ?
We have recently lost Cupcake, and also Willow has not been around for a while.

On the other hand we lost Ryan, so probably balances out:lol:lol:lol

Actually, is anybody in touch with Ryan, he would be pleased that we missed him for the right reasons...:augie

Yep a sub category for women - we could have some pictures of the Pinkest 4 x 4 motor.

In Long Eaton there was a very Pink Range Rover all badged up as a in an "Overfinch" in an upmarket vehicle outlet (Tom Hartleys) it looked really wrong !!

Looking towards the future it wouldn't surprise me if every paid up member was also a competent welder :doh
