I think its far too strict and it will effect the clubs activity the way it currently is.
i personally think that it shoud all be viewable apart from project section. classifieds and events should be viewable but possably restricted to view only. I would prefered no-one had paid anything as i did not give permission and i own the club.

...just to drag up an old topic and add my two cents as an, as yet, unpaid member and experienced web developer and forum admin....
When I first registered on here, it took a week for my account to be approved for me to be able to post anywhere and even now, my posts are still being moderated - not quite the first impression you want to give to new, potentially paying members. I gather this has been done in an attempt to reduce spam but there a far better ways of going about it which won't alienate new members. I haven't looked hard but I've yet to see anything on how to become a paid member and what, if any, extra benefits there are. Marketing a paid subscription, even on a niche site like this should always be a top priority once a good userbase has been established. There should be links to info on how the become a paid member and what they get in return in every sub-forum and on the main site landing page. The various web spiders/crawlers like google bot should be allowed to crawl the site and see everything a non-paying member without having to register - because they can't. This will help search engine rank no end and increase new members. Please don't take offense to anything I'm saying here. I just wanted to give an "outsiders" perspective. If you need help with any of the above (gratis), give me a shout ![]() |

ive removed all ways to become a paid member along time ago. Richardk was a moderator and he also hosted the site on his work webspace. While i was on holiday he told all the members to paypal him some cash,now he has dissappeared.
I started the club many years ago and i knew nothing of this payment scheme until it was too late.
