H20cooled Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I think you have skipped the posts that got this going, or getting off on a tangent, no one here was arguing the the need for paid members and no one argued that it should be the same for everyone. You may want to backstep and re-read the prior posts that got this turned. I think I should change my signature to "Attention non-paying members: Pony up or shut up" I'm sure that will get lots of locals in here to help support this Members only site, if I was to take that as a true statement, but its not. Lets move on. Nyles, It has completly gotten off on a tangent, but I think that a lot of good info and points have been made. I don't think forcing people to join is a good thing either though.

fly guy Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 How many paid members DOES pnwmas have??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Funny thing about this is that most of the "non-card carrying" people contribute more to this site then ones who have them...So for you to say that I am less important to the club because I am not a paid member is BS...I contribute more then most people on this forum and I do not carry the card. I am not saying I am better then anyone' date=' simply that is a gross generality.[/quote'] How do you base this statement? I did not say you were less important, and furthermore most of the stuff you post here is in good taste. The point I made is that people who pay the membership fee, pay for this site. It's a fact that can't be denied. If not for membership paying members we would be having this conversation on TRT or Reef Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 To be honest with you I'm not sure but I could find out or another officer might know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 So.... after every thread is started lets harass the poster if hes not a paid member? Given it was pointed out this should be a members thread, fine do it. But dont thrash the poor guy that started it. He did a simple thing in hopes to maybe improve the site and make it better, and he gets thrashed about a membership. If I was him I wouldn't give any money to people that treat me like that. Sometimes it not what you ask for but how you ask it that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Nyles, Why do you think that we are trashing on Brandon? Know one is forcing anyone to join and no one said that this should be a members thread. But when you bring up things about changing or adding to this "CLUB" website and you are NOT a member of the club don't expect for things to get changed. Would you prefer the site is ran like Reefcentral or The Reef tank? We could just do away with the club site and membership and close site since it sounds like we are FORCING & Harrassing people into joining.
