My membership has expired recently and I have chosen for the first time in a long time not to renew.

There is not enough incentive this time around. At first I was persuaded to contribute to the forums future, as I understud this was a community. This was thrown back in our faces when it was sold on for huge profit, despite the fact we all helped to keep the place going.

Then you tried to make the incentive to pay greater by making it so you cannot use the forum to make profit yourself without paying. I don't think I've ever sold more than 5 things on here, and really only use the place for buying rather than selling. So no need for me to renew on that basis. I guess the next step will be only gold members can see the classifieds???

A final incentive to renew could be the total removal of all the adverts. I would renew then 100% if this happened.

The community feel has left this place, there is little or no incentive for me (obv. others may not feel the same) to renew as stated above.

Hope that clears up why I posted!!
