I'm sure Ash is taking this all on board. Regarding the above though, I'll try to keep an eye on it. Just remember in the meanwhile that 5 "report threads" and it will get automatically locked and drawn to our attention. ________________________________________ Trackday, trackday, trackday |

The only reason I haven't got membership, is nothing to do with the price at all, but the fact the all the guys with the knowledge on the cars refuse to pay to give help to others, which I do agree with.I'm just waiting to see how things go as it seem everyone if just after refunds. |

At the end of the day, some are complaining some don't care, either way can everyone stop as it takes the p*ss on Ash. He has I'm sure spent a lot of hrs on this site, it has it's fault but the cheek of paying him £5 or £20 and then asking for it back is a jokeAsh don't refund anyone, they won't default on their mortgages if they don't get that £5 back Suck it up you battyboys. ash thanks for this forum...it ain't perfect but I'm sure we're all glad it at least exists Brappp |

The way I see it is everyone had the same option, buy membership or view for free. You cant buy something, use it for a few weeks then demand your money back when you decide you dont like it anymore. Everyone had the chance to see the new forum before they paid for membership so I cant see what ash has done to need to refund anyone. I think those that want a refund should consider themselves pretty fortunate that Ash is tidy enough to give you one. ________________________________________ Ryan |

Admittedly, i haven't paid. Why? Thankfully the kind members of this forum have answered my questions in the General chat section. The £5 membership doesn't seem to get you much and £10 seems a little bit dear for the use of a forum. I was going to go ahead and pay but then all this chitter chatter came up and got me thinking and has put me off parting with my 10 pound note that i'd prefer to spend on buying paint to de-rust my rallye. ________________________________________ '13 208 Gti Bianca White, '99 Bianca 306 Rallye, '92 309 Goodwood GTi 5dr, '92 Miami Blue 309 GTi 3dr. |

Hi I have paid for Gold membership, I think in a way it is only fair that i pay for the upkeep of the site that Ash keeps running. Yes it is a pain that non members can post as i thought without paying i wouldnt be able to post! Refunds no! But give the paying members an advantage over non paying visitors________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

I've not paid yet either. I thought I wouldn't be able to post unless I paid, but it seems I can which kind of defeats the object of paying. For what I use the forum for I wouldn't want to pay. I mean come on, would you pay for the privilege of slagging a certain spares seller off at every given moment?? The only thing I'm gutted about is that I can't update my project thread  Seriously though, I think if you don't pay you don't post! Simples I will be paying, I pay £20 a year for my psooc membership and post far less on there than here but I do get some stickers, a tax disc holder and a quarterly magazine, I've just not got round to it and think there should be a paypal payment option but the member pays the fees. ________________________________________ Cherry rallye - DOB Thursday 29/04/1999Team Rallye - the leaner, meaner, better looking sister of the GTI6 roland rat wrote: You sir either live for the 6 or have a mental retardation to still be repairing this!

I'm a committee member on PSCUK, and yes our membership is higher, but the printing costs of Torque (the club mag) is phenomenally high to the point where it is subsidized from any profits made at PugFest but we're avoiding a price increase of membership and is actually many thanks to the people that came from this pugfest who paid £10 to attend pugfest to help run my magazine...in fact. I've just shot myself in the foot there, i'll get my wallet and pay for gold in a sec. LOL. Don't get me wrong, i want to help pay to run this place anyway as it's been helpful but still feel £10's a bit dear. £5 maybe for gold and £3 for silver or something and it could potentially get more people involved. I realise that it costs money to run a site, but at £10 a time for gold, where the extra fiver gives you the ability to watch threads, add many pics in the gallery, watch photos, enter competitions, increase in inbox size and amount of pics in classifieds, might not make everyone want to spend the extra fiver? There was a point where I thought to myself, well where does the line cross from helping one another on what once was a free forum to becoming a profit making venture? Anyway...my wallet's oot. ________________________________________ '13 208 Gti Bianca White, '99 Bianca 306 Rallye, '92 309 Goodwood GTi 5dr, '92 Miami Blue 309 GTi 3dr. |

I agree with the fact you dont really get much for your money but I'm not gonna go jumping up and down wanting my money back...Maybe reward the early payers with an extension on their membership when its all settled down and things are working as ash planned? ________________________________________ Team Moonstone� Ph3 GTI6Team Rallye |

Brian, I'm not slagging pscuk off if that's how you read it, or maybe I've misread your post I don't understand why this forum isn't read only unless you pay!! As for the different levels of membership what's the point? If it only let's you post more pics in your classified adverts, allows you to watch threads and gives you a bigger inbox then is it worth it? I say no it isn't. Not when you can add a link to your photo bucket and display lots of pictures! I understand that the coatings of running such a forum can be quite high, but more people will pay £5 and £3 than £10 and £5. Maybe now is the time to make traders/none traders who strip cars all the time pay to sell? There is one person who has made lots of money from this forum and not really contributed to the site! I would willingly pay for such a privilege if I was still trading! ________________________________________ Cherry rallye - DOB Thursday 29/04/1999Team Rallye - the leaner, meaner, better looking sister of the GTI6 roland rat wrote: You sir either live for the 6 or have a mental retardation to still be repairing this!

I paid £20 to be a member of PSOOC which I have only posted on there 12 times since last year! I personally think £10 is cheap! Its not even 3p a day.... Obviously If you don't use the site/post much then paying membership may seem a little pointless. Im on here practically every day, I don't have a '6, yes but I love seeing other members cars/projects and tbh some of the banter is legendary!! As said without Ash there would not be a Forum, give him some credit FFS!  ________________________________________ I Live for the 306 TEAM CHERRY PINK RALLYE 2008 BMW ///M 320d |
