Im a premium member at the moment so no point in voting i gotta ask though if you no longer visit the forum how are you going to choose that option ??? anyway i digress i'm happy to admit i paid membership because the BMS discount made it worth it , My views have changed over recent times i do think there should be a members only area and restrictions on non members posting etc ive seen a couple of threads recently which to be honest make me say "bloody cheek" from new commers who havnt paid membership who are trying to up their post count so they can view members links (gotta wonder why thats so important to them ) to posts for help going up then you never hear from them again. The forums evolved a lot in recent times i personally think its time for a paid membership with all the help that goes with it and unpaid viewing only. As for where the money goes thats justins business and no one elses really
