Cash flow.

If subscription then Dave will have some idea of when 'lumps' of money are coming in to do what has to be done.

Get rid of the crowns Dave, but keep the value added, then everyone is happy, the subscribers get something for their money, those that choose not to ,don't feel stigmatised.

Then everyone will be happy and we can get on with the job

Please Wink

[I]Sorry ,Pusser got between my answer to Merlins question, so I make less sense than normal

If I may have my Pennorth....

If there is a subscripion and a donation option, the people may opt for a subscription - and pay once a year rather than making a number od donations.

May I suggest that rather than a subscription that only donations are accepted, but when a persons total donations have reached a certain amount e.g. £15 (as in the subs), then they are granted a membership for a year starting from when they reach or exceed the set point.

That way, more people may be willing to donate a minimum of the amount set as a trigger point - and possibly donate a little more later on in the year.

I told myself I wasn't going to post anymore to this thread, having already said my bit. But with the question of donations, Dave has previously said he needs £15,000. Look at the donations for May 2005. Although £150 over target, they are still at £300 approx. x 12 months if they stay at that level = £3600

This is less that 25% of the required level. The only way to get regular funding at the required level is to attract a membership.

Do this by offering incentives to join, and not reasons not to.
Dont change anything on the site (as this is attracting new interest the way it is)
just have a box to click on if you want to join.
The incentives could be:- a cheaper site fee at rallies, retail discounts, site fee discounts, the list is endless and I'm sure you good people out there will come up with some extra special ideas to benefit the members.

There should be no visible 2 tier system, (a good move to remove the crowns)

It dosn't matter that you choose not to be a member, just so long as the site eventually gets the required number of paying members in order that this (much loved) site, continues to give you the users pleasure, a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand or a sense of belonging.

Whatever your reason for being here, let common sense prevail and long may MHF reign supreme.

hi guys

i used to spend hours on another non mh related forum , it was free for about 2 yrs then a charge was applied and folks left in droves as more and more areas of the site became restricted , shame as it was a quality site , so im a bit worried Crying or Very sad

im a lot happier donating insignificant amounts when it suits me and i feel better about it as its when i want to do it .

cheers
