BenBB Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Well put Abyss. I spent all day thinkin' about it too; had to drive for 6 hours (I'm usually at a desk or on a forklift). Right before I left the site locked up and I couldn't leave a reply in this thread, but here's the jist of it: Times change, and people change. You'd have to be a little more than naive to think that a good thing is gonna last. It's just time to re-align... Lee, keep us posted on what happens. We all appreciate all you've done over the years, and if there's anything I can do let me know. Here's hoping everything works out and my favorite place on the internet lives on.

ikikazz Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 lee, i am sure that 99% of the people that acutaly post on this form will be willing to pay a monthly fee i know i would and i love this site it is the first thing i check in the morning and last thing at night. of the 12,000 members how many of them post on a regular basis 200 maybe 300 if that it is always the same people over and over again and if i saw them on the street wouldn't know them from adam but if they had there bike then i would notice them and say HEY you are evil, nuke, meat, etc. those are the guys i respect and i will do WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO KEEP YOU AS THE "GODFATHER". mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRMit Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 I'm perfectly willing to make contributions, but a membership fee may not be a good idea. That discourages new members and would probably cause a lot of the existing ones to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuff Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 This site is the reason for me gettin a Banshee! I know I'm relatively new and I'd hate to see it go downhill.....Banshees are made to rip uphill I'm thinkin once this settles out Lee will make the right choice whether he keeps it or not. There are enough guys on here with the know-how and dedication to keep it goin. Props to Lee for keepin a coolhead and lookin out for the HQ and its members.

00BANSHEE Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Lee, I hope, unless you really want to sell it, that you keep it the way it is. I know very little about the recent controversy and it is none of my business. This is a great site with a lot more activity and member involvement than any other that I have been to. That is a testament to how it is managed. You don't tell people how they should run their lives or business...it would be nice if they would extend the same courtesy to you. Thanks, David I agree 100% with your post. I think all the cry baby's that have a problem with how this site is ran ought to pack their shit and go find another site to on.

. Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 lol @ doink. I prefer to be called abyss (old s/n), or period, or mighty_abyss, or Bryan or whatever you want to call me.....just not doink. It sounds like a teletubbie character or one of Barney's friends. But if you must call me doink, at least call me Mr. Doink, Sir Doinks (a lot), or add something to it to turn it into some sort of porn name.

dcmoose Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 this site gets a fee for membership, and i am out like a trout. This site is the greatest thing since slice white bread, becasue this is a fourum for people to help and be helped, for free. Thats the price of membership, you have to help people to be helped. A fee system is for the birds. The only thing i pay for on the net is porn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mybadbanshee Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 i think the attitude about this is the same throughout.this is a great site dedicated to the machienes we love.im new and dont know blutraxx but it sounds pretty shitty and would hate to have to go there.the posts here have helped me a lot and would hate to see all that info go to waste.lee can do what he wants,lets just hope its keepin this site alive. Brian p.s.Lee can i have my avitar back?please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 for a membership I wasnt thinking like 20 bucks a year, more along the lines of 50 cents a month or 6 bucks a year. Or maybe 10-15 bucks a month and for the first year you get a sticker, on your renewal you get a coffee mug or something, 3rd year you get a t-shirt, so on and so forth. You'd be getting something in return, and something to look forward to for continuing to renew your membership. I know I'd glady pay a dollar a month to be able to have the information of this site at my fingertips. I pay more than that for a dirtwheels magazine that is usually useless information that the only thing its good for is to find good deals from companies on products. And the best part about it is that it will weed out a lot of the people that are just here for alterior purposes and things of that sort. Sure, we'll loose a few people that are informative on this site because they'd "refuse" to pay some nominal fee, but I feel those people will be few and far between. And on a side note, how much would you pay for a "banshee" magazine that would give you all the new information on upgrades, things going on in the banshee world, things for sale for a banshee, people that want things that you might have, etc etc. You have that right here at your fingertips, and its continually updated.

Thats a good point. In all honesty, I havent bought one mag since iv'e found this site. SOLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICK BOY Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 I would gladly pay a yearly membership fee.But if you do sell it I think we should find some one to run it,and all of us members chip in on it.Then the site would be owned by the members.What do you think???
