IS IT WORTH £20 TO JOIN THIS SITE?????

SEEMS TO BE A BIT OF A ONE SIDED SITE.

BASICALLY IF YOU AINT A GOLD MEMBER YOU CAN'T ACCESS OR DO ANYTHING.

HOW CAN YOU FIND OUT IF IT'S ANY GOOD BEFORE JOINING.

JUST I HAVE FORKED OUT MEMBERSHIP FEES ON OTHER CLUB/ENTHUSIASTS SITES AND TURNED OUT TO BE RUBBISH.

 

ive got a r5 track car and needed some info on it off RTOC, it was twenty quid i think for there and if not a member just get to see general discussion, So pf is hell of a lot better for non paying members as it is,and 20 quid isnt exactlly breaking the bank

 

theres still quite a bit you can do, access

 

when u join as a gold member got to the mens room and u will be happy spending twenty pounds then....

 

pmsl @ Butch - trust a man to come up with that!!!

I do think he has a point, perhaps 24hr access as a trial period to every room may be an option for the mods to consider!?

 

1: Yes, worth joining.

2: Yes you can access most of the site, just not start topics in some.

3: Don't think you can. Could perhaps ask for a week or something, then if you don't like it ask Stu/Pet for your money back (as long as you haven't posted stuff 'for sale') Will you be selling any bits/cars ??

BUT, it's not only for that side of things. Admittedly I sold my S2 off here, but apart from that, it helps pay toward the normal upkeep / running of the site. I'm sure Stu will enlighten you on how much the site costs to keep running at a good performance level without any glitches given the amount of users/ posts we have everyday.

And it's giving something back to the board. Believe me, if you have an RS, this site is priceless the knowledge you will gain, the help you will get and the money you will save in the long run by posting problems on here first for some top people to help, not rip you off

Think not what the board can do for you..but what you can do for the board.

 

not being funny mate if your askin all these question your on the wrong site, pay the £20 and if its no good you can just not pay when your year is up

 

As an ex gold member I do think it's a bit dear.

If I was breaking another car I'd rejoin in a second but I'd rejoin anyway if it was £10.

A bike forum I use is bigger than pf and costs £10 a year to become a supporter and you get.......

A few little benefits and a nice sticker.

They don't see the need to restrict all users from posting ads which could be of benefit to their members.

I enjoy using pf and would be happy to pay something I felt was fair towards it's up keep.

Reduce it to a tenner and I'll rejoin tomorrow!!

I wonder how many other expired or non gold members would do the same????

 

Dont pay the 20 quid and enjy the areas you can access IF you like it (3 posts arent going to tell you that) and want to explore furhter OR SELL STUFF

Pay the score

In the meantime... CAPS LOCK

 

But you've still got a Gold Member avatar ??

I do like the benefits ref the bike site tho, but I don't know how much the 2 sites cost to run, etc....

 

Just remember it costs to run this site, 5p a day is good value.

 

Mens room is well worth 20 pounds...............

 

Totally agree its only 20 quid

 

Good point

I'm not sure whether I'm expired tbh, just know I can't get into the contributors/mens rooms etc so I assume I've expired!

 

just think u dont mind giving girls twenty spons to get there bits out in strip clubs its just the same but on a pc screen

 

Seems a little exagerated dont you think?

Most sites cheaper than us have them god awfull google ads in teh middle of teh page, and we dont want to have to resort to that if we can help it.

The fact of the matter is PF, in the Main, is Free, all you need to be gold for is Adult content and to sell something. I dont see a problem with that personally?

 

sold my first item and realised how good value it is

 

 

Ive sold a few things on here, and if u cant get to blackpools strip club every week then its ideal

 

I've noticed quite a few new posters recently (not that i'm not newas well, but i've been on here quite a bit recently ) have been posting just to try and cause a stir.

I apologise if that isn't the case, but as there's only a couple of things you cant get without gold access on passionford I don't know what the hell you're moaning about

 

Butch @ Jamsport, do you have particularly hairy palms?

 

Thanks 89XR2, that's because I imagine some peeps just would like the webmaster (ie me) to pay the huge costs involved in buying the hardware and lines, running, coding and maintaining such a BIG website out of their own pocket, just to please everyone... i imagine they would do this themselves, if it was their website

 

when will people realise the internet aint free..

 

Passionford.com = Best site I have ever joined, I may not post alot, but when I do, I get fast and quality answers to get my car running again!
(P.s the number of posts, is not the same as my brake downs in my Ecos! ) Well worth £20.

 

or ...

is it that your blatent advert trying to sell items was removed ???

sorry you feel you have to shout ... but can you press the buton next to the " A " on your keyboard ???

many thanks

oh and welcome to passsionford

 

 

this site as got all of mans needs cars slags in the mens room and more

of course its bloody worth it

 

Oh forgot to add. I think 20 quid is well worth paying to passionford even if i dont want to sell owt or look in the mens room. As soon as i have 20 notes spare. Yes i am that poor I'll be paying my way. I know how much a site like this costs to run.

Got nothing but respect for Petrucci and Stu.

 

thanks

 

Agreed. This is the best forum Ive been on, and when Im not broke, Ill be paying in. Not all new members are quite so demanding

 

Add me to the list of grateful non members Totally disagree about not being able to do anything unless a member,theres a huge mass of knowledge on this site and if you ask nice most are williing to help be you,member or not

Rob

 

Ahhh... The fog starts to dissipate and all becomes clear..

 

Really i mean whats £20 a year to join the Largest Ford community on the web. Well worth the money asked for it

 

yes its worth it, i have just become a gold member and i have more then made my money back, passionford has loads of members so if you wanna sell anything your best bet is here!

 

Worth it just to help keep the place ticking over - I paid up and I'm hardly on here at all, I don't own a Ford and don't really plan to.

Worth it for all the info kicking about, essays are decent to fill some time too

Edit: Where's my Gold Member thingyjig? Listed in https://passionford.com/forum/groupcp.php?g=23234 but no icon

 

Well worth the money

i spend alot of time on this site I enjoy myself have made loads of new freinds and learnt a great deal from reading some of the quality posts

Pet runs this site from his business so he HIMSELF foots a large amount of the costs envolved out of his own pocket and for this alone i say thank you pet is very appreciated


so pay your £20 and enjoy the xtra benefits aswell as knowing your helping to keep this site running and staying the best forum on the internet

 

Drive Beemers as I'm not stupid, but you know what everyone thinks of them on here, but still pay

 

Was there ever any real doubt? Only the disgruntled kick off

 

Any club you pay membership fees too has to be worth it....

Mate, a club is what YOU make of it..... I strongly suggest that if you've paid membership fees to other clubs/socieities in the past then you haven't put enough in yourself to get any reward out of being a member and joining in the first place....
