Ausfish Premium Membership option

Good idea if it helps the site survive and grow as well as keep the free aspect as well i think its :thumbsup:

As for deviding the site into the elite and the others i cant see that happening iv been a member of other forums and the same system has been used with nothing like that happening.

Also i wont be taking the premium membership option at the moment as i dont think it will benifit me, once i have a boat however and those GPS marks are needed that may change;)

if your having problems with the adds slowing things down, and dont want to go the premium way, just use this simple tutorial on how to get the most out of your browser. ;)

I am disappointed that we get very little for simply moving a thread to the right board because someone is too lazy to read the board headings. Infractions and warnings although necessary, don't pay much either.

The big money though is in banning someone. A spammer is well worth my being here. They pay reasonably well. Don't get a real lot for new and bronze members but it's ok. Silver and gold are pretty good but its the platinum blokes where the big bucks are. They pay for my holidays.

However, still waiting for the boss to put a price on the head of one of these premiums. I reckon that's where the money is going to be in the future.

There is good money in polls. They should be encouraged, if only for your benefit.

Hell yeah, I know a poll dancer, and she makes heaps of cash ;D

I too dont have a credit card, going to uni fulltime on Austudy payments makes it difficult to pay additional dollars unlike people who are earning a wage and could afford these payments. Any discounts for persons in my situation?

Thanks, Peter

got rid of all the adds long ago, nothing on the left of my screen, and no pop ups...

my wife will be back Saturday, (only one with C/C:o:-X ) and will make my payment then, great idea for this site,

will/do payed members get free ausfish stickers;D

If you choose to be a platinum dude will your free adverts be seen on battler vision as well??:-/

What the hell are you and some others on about? Have people actually *read* what is written on this thread? Nobody's denying anybody anything, they're simply offering the ability to buy yourself out of the ads with another few benefits thrown in. If you don't want to take up the offer, that's fair enough but to imply that it somehow deprives the membership (and in particular the emotive referral to kids) of what they are already getting is ludicrous.

Its just about your choice as said before, Im not worried about ads etc, I'd be doing it as a sign of support, these sort of sites arent easy to run and maintain and its not a charity.

I was a paying member of a similar setup with a motorsport site for a bit, benefits where less ads, a few specialised articles every once in a while BUT you had the ability of organising the way you browsed the site and what you wanted to see ( ie if you where a F1 or V8 nutter you could choose to have mainly that load up so you didnt have to browse through a lot of stuff you werent interested in. I never got a sense of elitism there.

Like this there was no requirement to pay but also there was no distinction in viewable membership levels either. That i thought was good.

cheers

just realised ----oh there are ads on here,been to busy reading about fishing to notice
no thanks
cheers

ok kingtin
I stand corrected I. interpreted the info incorrectly.
I logged on and thought i had to pay to view in future.And saw red.But after reading again as u sugested i got the whole picture .Some of us are only carpenters after all.l,ll remove my post,but dont see the value in membership.Whose gonna give away good gps marks that will be flogged in no time.you how ever will appreciate the extra photo oppotunities as your ad on the end of your posts suggest.
