Off Topic reserved for members

ooooh, wait, I do have a suggestion.

How about a special discounted membership package for those of us who are unable to fully benefit from VW Club membership due to location, vehicle type, etc? Something along the lines of between free and zero Rands? You know... just a suggestion...

Vehicle type? Really?

Fine, not vehicle type... Location is valid, no?

Its only R16.67 per month. You cant even rent a DVD for that price and this keeps you entertained much much longer.

The way I see it, thats asking me to spend R16.67 a month to read one section of the forum. It just happens to be the only section I read. I hardly even go into other parts of this forum.

Would you pay to use Google?

You DO pay to use google - there's ads everywhere. Each one of those generates revenue.

Shall we cover the forum with ads?

You know what I mean.. I'm not paying Google directly. I'm not physically pulling out money and handing it to google. All I asked for was that one section of the forum. I feel that I don't utilise the benefits of the club/events/discounts etc to warrant a membership fee of R16.67 a month.

But hey. I respect the committees decision. There's not much we can say as non members anyway.

Neither your names are Dark Blue. And not only that, being a forum member != being a club member

R16.67 is about the same price of a sandwich.

Is this the new jokes thred? 'cos that's a ripper

Seriously, cut the chit-chat from the non-members and all you'll get are the 'How do I fix my water-leak' and 'How can I make my 1.4 carb Golf go faster'-kind of threads...

See which you'll enjoy more

We'll also get less fighting, mud-slinging, banter, worthless posts, name calling, see what I'm eating for lunch, Hi how are you, Vote for my girlfriend, Hi im new here and I cant use search, ERMEHGEHDFORSALETHREADROFLZORLOL threads. Your argument is, as such, invalid.

PS: Come to think of it, you will get less of the above and what you mentioned. We still got Pitzi, so we sorted.

But if you want a forum where the 20 of you blow each other's trumpets, you will have it in no time

Do you honestly believe that the ONLY value to most people on this forum, is off topic discussions?

I've been here longer than you

Anyways. The one thread in General Non-tech where I was starting to get active in is now cut off. Dammit, how am I now going to know what drugs I can buy for gym??

..and be eligible for points at the Durban events?

Explain please?

[AstroDubz]

You'll have to go to a klapping gym forrim (which nobody here would be able to tell you about because it's not a car-technical-type question)

Will be paying for my membership hopefully this or next month

Doesn't the forum receive some type of revenue for each reply or each topic being visited?
So why reserve that section for members only when I'm sure the mejority are non- member...

no.

[Kibim]

Not at all Blade. There is no pay per hit advertising here.

The decision to move things to the way we are tying is not a financial one as so many seem to think. Its aimed at stopping needles forum fights and politics.

[Blade]

We had a thread on weight loss and gym supplements that was interesting and informative and a lot of mense were visiting and replying on that thread. So I guess that thread will die off cos the majority aren't members.

Well that's not entirely true. There are still replies in that forum.

You could help keep it active by paying R17 per month and becoming a member.

Na its kewl thnx will leave it to the members.
