Anybody been on there recently.....kinda shutting site to non members ,,will only be able to view limited sections unless u pay full membership or website membership.....wots peeps thots on that..


Think that might kill the site a bit weird thing to do

[jimmyson]

for the price they want for membership........im out

[mikeymikeyp]

Ah come on peps its always been like that
Forums dont want to be involved in bampots selling stuff after a few posts so they put a limit on how much needs to be verified before they can sell THATS common sense

[boeb]

That's not wots happening at all......restrictions on all the site not just parts or cats for sale....fkn dumb idea ah think.....will just create more a them and us kinda thing

If the whole site is a free for all, then folks dont need to be members. So they're out of business, and then we, and every other group are defunked as a result.
The club is a Limited Company and must turn a profit to survive, so revenue has to come from somewhere.

Its nothing to do with "them and us", its giving members something extra for their money, to entice folks to join.
IMO, everyone who is a regular on here or at meets should be a member. Its not expensive.
Look at the prices we pay for parts, cars, insurance etc, so £30-35?? a year is a drop in the ocean.

The insurance saving alone, especially now Need2insure are onboard, more than pays your membership fee, so its a No Brainer really.

If they want to kill the club stone dead they are going about it in the right way.

Crazy.

Seen that was talked about on post.....logged on and got re directed to post subject.....just think maybe bad timing..rs brand us a lot quiter than used to be..foc rs has re sparked it slightly right enough....

Am an s2 guy don't really read cossie bit etc...s2 forum on it ok but pf seems to have more going on in that section just thinking lot of peeps will jump forum

[Stu/RS]

The bottom line; "you can't please everyone" I'm afraid.
There's loads of folks in different predicaments, so they have probably went with the majority.

You can't compare the RSOC to Passionford, it's a different clientele completely.

Just need to wait and see

Post is multi pages long don't really bother too much wae there site tbh ..no need for membership just now till s2 rd going lol

[Derek_FRS]

I use that forum quite often if im honest but the main reason i signed up for the membership was to attend shows with this club not the main RSOC but to be honest i only used it for 1 show and that was the cumbria evan at that i missed it this year so dont think im gonna bother renewing it for next year when all of the shows that im planing to attend next year u dont need to be a member so aint realy worth the magazine that gets thrown out after ive had a quick flick through it but having said that i would have become a member just now to get 1 of those mk1 FRS models

The latest news...........

An update on The Future of the RSOC BB

The committee is listening, the decision is to cancel the read only approach for Non Members.

The committee will instead tune the areas Non Members can both see and post in.

These changes will be shared in the RSOC Members Area before implementation.

This position will be reviewed in February

Think that makes sense..members deffo deserve more etc but keeping that way draws newbies in to get the feel before joining

Glad they've seen some sense
