Billyt Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 With the thread about stickers i was thinking about a paid membership on the Adams forum. Say we pay between $10 and $20 and in return there will be a membership part of the forum with special offers and discount for members also a members pack of stickers and maybe a keyfob, hat or teeshirt. The forums would still be free but this membership would be a good way of funding the forums and help with the running costs which i know as the forum gets bigger will increase.

RJRSKY Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 As long as founding members get grandfathered in I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redvenm Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I am not so sure about a paid membership. I do understand increasing costs incurred with running the forums as it grows. I would think that as the forum adds members there will be more orders going through therefore covering these costs. I would imagine Adam tracks his cost related to the size of the forums and the increased business he receives. As far as the stickers go, how about just selling them? I would pay a few bucks to pick up some more. The special offers...well the daily special are there. Generally they are a great value. The current special gives you a free bottle of BG. That's a $25 dollar savings right there. One can't say that is not a smokin deal. It seems to me most of us here are just average Joes that are a little freaky about our vehicles. Will a paid membership create an " elite" section. I think it is quite possible. I am not sure that is what Adam has in mind. Just my thoughts and am curious what others think...

IMADreamer Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I'll pass. I'd rather spend my money on Adam's products and we get discounts for being memebers of other forums anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdutytd Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I was just about to post something that mirrored what Adam said Really when you think about it this forum more than likely pays for itself quite a few times over. I mean if I didn't check this forum or receive the emails how would I know when there was something new I "just had to have"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
