The guy above will take your $25. In fact, he has plans to take a lot more than that!

I saw the intrinsic value to this forum many years ago and that made it quite clear to me that it was something I wanted to be apart of. Over the years, it has paid for itself many times over.

Well except for one bad experience from a vile and dishonest non-supporting vendor a long time ago.

You can pay to be a Supporting Member but I think it'd be forum suicide to charge everybody.

25 bucks a year is less than 1 magazine subscription and has a lot more "instant information".

I gladly pay 25 wing ***** a year for this forum.

Badges? We doan need no stinkin' batches! (...but I digress.)

Haven't seen any notice? Then again, I chose to support CF on my own for reasons already stated.

Hope there's no mandatory compliance and this is just a yoke. Eh?

I think the problem would be that if we were forced to pay $25, a large group would walk away, many of those who offer a lot of that valuable information.

After a while all those questions that aren't answered by looking in the Black Book would result in an empty crickets sound and the Forum wouldn't seem like such a great value after all.

What do you think ?

Time to move ?

Corporate America ?
You should put your words in context. I doubt that most members received an e-mail. Did you? What is the source of your comment? Cut and paste it.

I did receive an e-mail recently as a continuing Supporting Member as I have in former years. And yes I did re-new.

Sometimes I wonder about the innuendo floating about this Forum. It is certainly a very different place than in the past.

My local GM dealer has a labor rate of $105.00/hr. Compare that to the Forum. For $25.00/year I figure the (valid) tech support given here recoups that expenditure in less than a week.

Show your cards Phil.

I must apologise, I think after tooooooooooooooo many brewskys last night I must have placed my mouse where it didn't belong, and did not read the fine print.

Will say one thing though, I got more replies from this thread than I usually do.

No problem. This is a very useful source of knowledge on these old cars. Just one good tip from Lars and others is worth $25.00/year for me. I will be doing some carb replacement tomorrow and I know from experience that I will do something wrong. It's nice to get advice - even sympathy - here.
