VIP Status

Post by Blue » Tue Jun 02, 2015 8:17 pm

I wanted to pose the question on VIP value.
I,ve been a forum member for a cupola years and early on registered for VIP thinking there might be something special about it.
After a while I deleted the VIP logo, dunno why particularly, maybe not wishing to seperate myself from rank and file members.Since then I check in every now and then to see what,s happening and the answer is,not much. I recall Big Watkins at one stage saying something like "Hey are,nt VIP members fishing?" Obviously because there weren,t any notes coming in.
A glance at today's index s shows 25 entries on the first page,one in June (that,s o k just new month) but most are April stretching back to February - on the first page!
Makes one wonder why we bother with the separation.Don,t get me wrong, the cost of rego doesn't bother nor am I looking for any elitist information, I,m wondering why we have it. This is meant to be constructive comment,am I missing something here?
Would be interested to hear other veiws.

I don't really see it as a separation, more of a donation to support the site.
If I post a report it goes in the regular forums and if I want to keep secrets I don't post them at all.

This. These forums don't host themselves.

I agree with Trev.
I thought it's to support the site and I'm happy to keep chipping in.
The help and support here has been fantastic even if there are the few wild cards around).
How much do we spend on Bait, Beer, Coffee, Smokes etc so really a few $$ from us using this site can only be good for us all :a_goodjob:

I can't figure out how to remove the logo to be honest.....

I don't see VIP as a pathway to better information, I see it as a platform for me to financial support the maintenance of the forum and the community here.

I've posted in there a few times but would prefer to share the discussion with as many people as possible. I'd also rather see people posting reports and taking part in the conversation.

On the Flip side it's a tricky one, hopefully if there is a VIP logo it means the site is getting good support.
Who can complain about giving a bit?

I'm happy to pay the VIP fee purely to support the forum. Im another that would prefer to have the logo removed haha. I dont really expect anything return, its more just a gesture to show that I value the forum.

Hey blokes,I agree totally with your observations.
Dougie, what you said in final para supports my early comment about not wanting to seperate from rank and file comment.
From responses so far, members seem to be missing that I said the rego doesn't,t bother me.
I absolutely support that the Forum needs assistance with funding.
Therefore, why do we need a seperate section to achieve this, what does the VIP achieve apart from this?
