Admin Alex Posted July 7, 2007 Admin Share Posted July 7, 2007 Yep unfortunatly for NEW members I have had to make the hard decision of charging for use, it's got to the point now where I really can't afford to keep paying for the bandwidth and the software out of my own pocket. Any existing member will not be charged just for new members. Alternatively i could put banners up but would prefer not to. This small payment will also hopefully stop all the idiots we get signing up to post spam and links to their products/websites etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brian Bonner Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 If there's a place to donate some money, I'd be more than happy to chip in some money to help pay for the bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Alex Posted July 9, 2007 Admin Share Posted July 9, 2007 To be honest would rather not accept donations as think you should get something back in return, there has been a Garage implemented where you can upload images etc of your bikes/modifications etc if you would like to help out you could always upgrage your membership to pro so that you can use it http://www.yamahaclub.com/forums/index.php...utocom=registry The club has been around for around 5 years now always completely free! But would love to be able to create more exposure of it, but of course the more users there are, the more images are hosted and downloaded the more it costs to run. But the more users who use this site the better it will be for all of us so have implemented a subscription system for new users. I don't belive any existing user should have to pay as you guys have all helped create this community. Also the payment scheme in theory will completly stop any spam and all the junk we have often had. So thanks to everyone for helping us get this far and get using the garage ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xmastree Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Any existing member will not be charged just for new members. So why did I just have to pay £2.00 then? I don't object, after all it's a pittance for a lifetime membership, but having read this previously I was surprised that I now had to pay. An email explaining the situation would have been nice..

Admin Alex Posted July 15, 2007 Admin Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hi guys, Im sorry for no explanation being given. Unfortunatly we are only able to send emails to users who granted us permission to do so on signing up. (There is a tick box you must have unchecked) All users should have recived an email explaining the situation. Im sorry that you were missed out, and its good advice given, we will put a post up explaining the situation. Thanks for your understanding Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmastree Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Im sorry that you were missed out, and its good advice given, we will put a post up explaining the situation.So long as the post can be read before payment is made... A link on the 'you need to pay' page would probably be the best solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
