Why Are You Not a Platinum Member? K for answers

[eddymerckx]

maybe some don't have credit cards / debit cards.. Karma?

you can use western union--Just PM or call; EF Frank and the members of this board may very well know how WU works

heck, if you read the newspaper online there are dozens of pop-ups and if you want an article older than a few months, you pay.

That's a great point. I'm sure I'll go play again but to me it will just be a donation to the site.

With the bills I have now and the fact that I owe on student loans, it's just not really economical to pay for a platinum membership. I don't need any added expenses right now no matter how small.

Why not make more of the Ebooks a members-only read?

o.o

another idea to pass on--it would pose some weird royalty issues....but be assured that the powers that be read these posts.

I dont read online newspapers, paying for news and information on a website in which the new/information was posted by a NON-PAID member of the board is kinda lame.

I posted information for the website, for free, I was not paid for my information, now Im supposed to PAY to find information that was posted for free for everyone. Just seems there are other ways for the site to get money and draw plat members that it shouldnt need to take away the most important tool on a forum.

bro i hear you with the student loans--i have close to $200k----2/3 the amount of my mortgage (but at least most of the loans are at a little less then 4%

when you play again let me know and i will see what i can do.

I think going plat should give you more perks. I'm not really sure what that would be but I think access to e-books would be a good start. Maybe a discount on EF products, I don't know.

good point and i know your posts are solid--i know the powers that be avoid some other ways to make $$--it just they need to balance the whole formula.

 

[DJLegacy2k1]

Yeah, I have faith they will figure out a decent formula and come up with some good honest ways to make some cash and keep things going.

that is another neat idea--but b/c of the royalty issues even the elite mods pay for the books--but there may be an idea there---i will certainly pass it on. goo bro input
