lets face it we can all afford fifteen pouns each a year. its nothing.
i think this is value for money.
and will provide funds to reimburse mark for his costs and money for him to reinvest in the site development.
its a really good idea.
you ****ing know it is.
sooner its done the better
private members club.
we might pay that, but i doubt any new members would pay that to join.
i disagreeQuote:

Don't know about 1000s tbh. that would make this a very expensive websiteQuote:

The forum isn't that busy anyway, and if you lost too many members then there wouldn't be any point in being a member :)
Does this website really cost £1000s to run?Quote:

Sorry Cal, I think that's a terrible idea.
I don't think everyone would want to pay £15 a year to use this site. Some might, but I suspect they would be the minority. Then as Dan mentions there is the issue of new members.
Who's gonna pay £15 to join a site like this when the message boards at dirtytechno / LD / basterdized etc. are all free?
of course it doesnt cost 1000s
of course this paying thing is a joke
and yeah, this "private members club" sounds a bit ghey... if you know what i mean..
ok so its a bad idea
