So what your saying here is that if you own a Formula or Baja or Fountain, etc.... You can't get into the forum for that manufacturer without paying??? Or at least being a charter member?

Personally, even though I can get into these areas, I think it's a mistake.

NO...you can get in. You just cant view attachments

Just the man trying to keep us down

Although not a paid subcriber, I am disappointed to see this with the censored area of the photos.

Afterall, it is mostly made up of the member's photos that are being viewed. Without the members posting "their" photos, there wouldn't be very much to look at.

The advertising should be picking up the tab for the server space.

I am just afraid that if you don't keep enough things free for the average web surfer to come look at, the growth in regular visitors may come to a halt. That in the long run will hurt selling future advertising.

I know when I visit a site that doesn't give me something interesting to make me want to return, it just doesn't get put into "My Favorites" or on my website that I would want to share with everyone else.

If it means kicking in a few dollars, then hell I will probably do it because I am already addicted.

It's the first timers that you may not get hooked so easily that you should be concerned about.

Growth gives you strength. I seriously think this move may slow the growth of OSO.

That's just my opinion........

Well put ...Mr. Sharkey

Broke Crybabies

You are not addicted.

I remember back when a Big Mac was a Quarter, Smoking ment Cigarettes, and OSO was Free:D

I do think they should have it so in the general section
that viewing post/wpicts should be free. this would help get
more members to upgrade to a higher membership level.
"Idea" add a silver membership which allows posting with picts
only in the owners/general section for something like 9.95 year

This is also good for minors it would allow membership without
allowing Uncensored viewing

I think then those adult silver members would soon move up the
ladder.

I also think free members only being able to post WITHOUT
photos , but being able see others would quickly get then
to my proposed silver then on to gold/platium.

Just my idea to get more people

Liquid asset,

A very arrogant, obnoxious statement! You have just insulted many of the members here, and yourself. Nice attitude!!
