GOOD NEWS FOR EVERYONE

GOOD NEWS FOR EVERYONE

 

We asked for your opinions, you sent them to us, and here’s what we decided,

 

After a number of Members comment's disagreeing with making the Forum Subscription only, as a result,

We, The Team, have decided to drop that option and instead we are going to ask Members to make a voluntary donation of £5 to the Forum instead.

We are ending payments from Forum Supporters and replacing it with a voluntary donation.

 

 At present we have enough funds to keep the Forum going for the foreseeable future. We hope that this is agreeable to ALL ?

We will not be revisiting this subject again in the future, if enough Members donate there should be no need too.

We ARE also exploring other options - Sponsorship, Adverts,Merchandise ect, for long term finance. 

 

 

 

Short Version.

 

 

YOU spoke, We listened and WE changed it, WE hope you like what we’ve done?

 

You will NO LONGER have to pay to use ATFOTF, apart from viewing the Rides List

 

If you make a donation of £5 or more, you will have access to the Ride List.

 

 

For those who has already paid the £10 Membership fee, - IMPORTANT

We will be contacting you all over the next week

You will NOT lose out, don’t worry, we’re aiming to please EVERYBODY

 

This has been done to show you that we DO listen to you and if we can act on your suggestions, we will try to implement them.

 

Regards

The Team

A wise decision. I would like to say thanks to "The Team" for making this change.

[Simon Deery 2,407]

Although I was happy with paying the required fee I would like to say thank you to The Team and hope that this decision will be the foundation to building this site back up to its heyday. 

Lets start getting back to the hobby and put talk of money and disagreement behind us. This demonstrates that those in charge do listen and act upon comments received and I hope that this will retain the valuable members we have and help attract others and indeed those who use other sites.

Does this mean the username rule has been reversed too?

[The Team 719]

There will be more info for the members who have already paid £10 , but they will be contacted this week . We don't want anyone whose supported us to lose out financially, so if

you ARE one of those members, please wait to hear from us within the next 7 day Maximum.

 

@Trojanhorse11 - please let us get back to you on that, its still in discussion.

@Trojanhorse11 and Everybody

 

Following discussion in The Team, It's been decided that existing members CAN continue to use their site names, and WONT have to change to their real names.

 

New registration/members WILL have to use their real name though

Hope that will suffice

Thanks
