Ya it would be a gud idea,you could always give new members a free 2 week trial and if they like it them they can pay and sign up,wud be a gud idea to get a free hat or t-shirt too after paying

well i think its a good idea, it would cut down on the rif raf :L but it would make it easier to run the site and we could get somethin small like a hat or stickers

As a fairly new member, I wouldn't mind paying a members fee to use the forum as i am currently a member of the GT4 Owners Club - £20 Per Year, with that you get a couple of stickers, a Tax disc Holder and a £5 Voucher to use in the club shop.

If all the members had to pay a members fee to use the forum then most of them will be on here one time or another during the day or night. And I also found out that on the forums that are charged a yearly fee, they tend to be busier than non charged forums.

I think the club should allow new members access to all sections of the forum without paying the jointing fee for the first 30 days, so they know what the forum is like then restrict their access to certain parts of the forum only. i.e. they can access the for sale threads but can't sell any item unless he or she is a fully paid up member etc. but they can buy the for sale items.

i am saying this is because alot of people only joining the forum to get info on the car they are buying or about to buy. and only pay the joining fee after they have aquired the car and has seen what the forum is like.

Well thats what I think anyway.

Unfortunately Dizz the administrator is away traveling for the most of this year and he does all the coding for the forum so we can't add that feature yet

What we are hoping to do this year to cover the costs is to ask members to donate to the club so we can get the ball rolling and get some more bits for members to buy which in turn will help fund the club

You can donate using the donate button at the bottom left of the home page

Hi,

As some of you know, I am a member of the Hungarian Toyota Club (www.toyotaclub.hu).
The cost of the one year membership is 4000 HUF (cca 15 Euro). The members get the following items for this fee:
- 1 sticker with "www.toyotaclub.hu" title
- 1 sticker with club logo
- 1 membership card (looks like a credit card)
- 1 pair of plate frame
- 2 e-mail addresses (one with nick name, and one with the real name. e.g.: nickname@toyotaclub.hu; x.y@toyotaclub.hu)
- access to the forums closed section
- access to the toyotaclub ftp server

I hope, I could give some helpful tips...

and sorry for my english...
