Hi why can't registered users reply to for sale post anymore there's no reply box anymore why has this been deleted thanks .

It's been changed to subscribed members only mate

Seems crazy I can understand selling but not buying .

Its under review at the moment after a discussion at the AGM.

 

It was discussed that the buying and selling forums should be exclusively locked to the subscription base.

 

As they are the ones who help fund this club and we depend on the subscriptions to keep this site and club going.

 

The subscription itself was also raised after the subject matter was discussed and the member base was in agreement.

 

--

 

Over the years the club has moved to many features that used to be exclusive to the member base over to the public sections,

because of this there is little or no incentive to pay the subscription any longer; if this continued the club and this site would be

gone within a matter of years as the funds run out and the club can no longer pay its way.

 

If registered users who are using the club site on a daily bases don't subscribe or renew then personally I think that shows there

is no longer a willing to support the club so why should the club give away these facilities.

 

We need to get away from the attitude that this is just a forum / website in the big pond of the internet.

 

We are foremost a '300ZX Owners Club' with a fan base that is also active in the real world.

 

There is lots of expenses that need taking care of aswell as running a website.

 

Its also been discussed and a full breakdown of these yearly expenses will shortly be shown when registered users decide to subscribe

so then everyone can see first hand where your hard earned cash is being spent.

 

£20 renewal a year is not a lot and if a member shows up at any of the events then this value is given back 2 fold by what it provided on the day.

 

Simplest thing any of the registered base can do is support your club and get subscribed.

 

We plan a lot of changes over the coming months and the registered section will become only a taster for the subbed sections.

 

All the best

As Jaikai has said Taff. Its time to support the club who's members keep the 300zx alive.

Wasn't the renewal cost still to be debated with the subscribed member to get agreement to increase the costs? Sorry if I've missed the post

From memory, I think originally, the selling rules were that you had to be subscribed to sell because you mist likely wouldn't get ripped off by subscribed members, or the risk was very low. Didn't really work in my opinion though cos then people would just subscribe to sell. For me it should have been more of a subscribed for a decent amount of time, or X amount of posts etc would have been better.

 

Anyway, we discussed the trading sections at the AGM and as mentioned above, it was decided that it would be best for subscribed members.

You are right Lee....!

 

I will be putting up the minutes later today - and we'll be posting the relevant polls deriving from that over the next few days, once everyone has had the chance to read the minutes!

 

As JaiKai says above, things are still under review, pending votes etc... However we are also using this time to experiment with the new ideas, in order to see how practical they will be to implement. Please bear with us... :wink:

In that case the subscription rates (in Paid Subscriptions) need to be reset as they have already gone up!
