Emerald525 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Well as most of you know the site had a bunch of issues lately. Part of this is we have so many great members that the Server gets overloaded and we may need to upgrade. It costs money to pay for the server, find awesome guest speakers, pay our Masna dues, etc. etc... Membership gets you the following: 1. Access to the members only sites 2. Your membership card provides discounts (usually 10%) to participating local fish stores 3. You get a bigger picture in your avatar 4. You get that oh so cool PNWMAS banner in your avatar 5. You have voting rights for board members and elections are coming up soon 6. Only paid members can run for office 7. You also have access to Itrader to leave feedback 8. Twice as many pms in your inbox To sign up just click here. Make sure you put your PNWMAS screen name in so I know who you are! Also be sure to click March as membership is prorated and it is only 20 dollars! http://www.pnwmas.org/cmps_index.php?pageid=join Okay new incentive! If I have at least 15 people sign up by the end of March, you will get a chance to be in a raffle for the following prizes that I am donating. The sooner you sign up the more tickets you get. First 5 people get 10 tickets (already have 4 people so only 1 spot left) Next 5 get 5 tickets Next 5 get 2 tickets and after that each new member gets one ticket Here's what you can win: (clap) 3 to 4 polyps of this green acan WYSWYG Micromussa frag. Coralgasm actually donated this to the club at Seamax. I thought I had lost it but it came back!(clap)(clap) Nice Joker Favia Nice frag of these Watermelons Frag of these no names At least 3 polyp frag of these WYSWYG Sandollar monti and 3 to 4 polyps acan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Well Douglas (Oxx) again has gone above and beyond with being generous. He has already paid for his membership but donated more! You truly are the man! Douglas!(clap)(rock2)(rock2) Just so people know I also plan to offer up some items for raffle and the earlier you signup the more raffle tickets you get: First 5 get 10 Next 5 get 5 after that you will get 2 tickets. I will post pictures of items tomorrow!

Derbird Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Don't forget that you are allowed double the number of PM's. Great for those of us who rarely clean it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added that to my list. If you are a board member or officer, you get 600. All the more reason to consider running for the board or as an officer!

saltsick4u Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I wonder if its the lack of activities that keeps membership count low. Seems this site needs events. I have and have had ideas to generate some excitement and sponsor interaction (which this site could use) but.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Actually for a local site we have an amazingly high membership count and paid members but there are still a much larger proportion of nonpaying members . I have heard from many that they just don't see enough benefits to paying for a membership which I can understand. It is something I want to look into like what paid members would like to see from their membership.

saltsick4u Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 that is what I a saying.....no activity for members only that is worth while.....as stated I have ideas for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Well there is a feedback suggestion place to the forum. There's always room for improvement, Sent from my BlackBerry 9630 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 I updated the first page with prizes you have a chance to win. I need at least 15 new members to sign up. The sooner you sign up the more chances you have to win. One prize per person and you will be able to pick your prize in the order you were drawn! So come on sign up people! It's only 20 dollars and it goes to the club and you get a chance to win coral! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 what about the people that already renewed? I tell you what.

So for those people that procrastinated they get a better benefit....(whistle) Just stirring the pot....(laugh) I don't see why you need to give your corals away just to sign up. If they don't see the value then all were doing is bribing them to send money to the boards. Just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
