Admin Vista Posted December 16, 2011 Author Admin Report Posted December 16, 2011 Thanks for all the positive feedback, is there anything people aren't happy with?
mk2 mike Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 Bloody hell, I thought I was purple and just realised I'm not anymore, I'm guessing it ran out I tried renewing it through the shop but when I click on 'add to cart' nothing happens. Temporary bug?
FBF Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 Seems like a pm needs sending to people when membership runs out, club is loosing a fortune from people who want to support and didnt even realise they wernt

Admin Mk2Jo Posted December 22, 2011 Admin Report Posted December 22, 2011 Thanks to mk1estate and The Transplanter - some useful constructive comments, cheeRS guys
SmokeEm Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 A few facts for you people out there That of the top two hundred posters on this site, discounting admin and the three sponsors on those first 10 pages, only 24 people are site contributors? Out of 10602 current members (this number would be much higher but earlier this year we deleted several thousand members who'd joined before about 2008 but never signed in) only 149 are contributors The sites bandwidth costs us £160 per month? Those of you that use the site regularly but don't contribute, you remain under no obligation to do so but I'd be interested to hear (by pm if you want, all will remain private) what changes we could make to the site or things we could offer that might persuade you to help out with the operating costs. How spooky is that - 149 contributors x £12 =£1788 £1788 divided by £160 bandwidth montly cost = 12 months That means the site is paid for to the penny

In fact some of it goes back to the contributor in the form of discounts. Classic Ford Show tickets for instance are sold to contributors at below their cost to the site. Then there's merchandise to be paid for (also discounted for contributors) most of which needs to be bought in reasonable size orders and paid for up front. Generous as I am, that up front payment isn't going to come from my pockets. Nor would any member who ordered something be happy to wait weeks for it to arrive so it must be bought up front, which obviously requires funds. Now if a product line doesn't sell or doesn't sell well, then it's sat there taking up space and not returning the investment made in it. There are other incidental expenses that running the forum incurs too, a PO box address for instance, food, bunting and stand paraphernalia for bigger shows and gatherings such as the Christmas bash. All in all, the books frequently don't balance.
FBF Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 If you guys are not making 40% on merchandise then something is wrong somewhere. I know our american car club makes a 60% profit on sweat shirts and jackets.

Also, if I ask for my user name and password to be re-sent (in case i've got it wrong) it doesn't come through.
mk3cokebottle Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 Cheaper than a magazine subscription n theres more to read and look at . Helpful friendly peeps and a good job well done by all admin!! Couldn't imagine what it takes to keep a site going but keep it up! Plus..... i kinda like purple its like a part time job and a great hobby and a thankless task lol but We all love it and like feed back to make it better. you forgot the getting wankered bit at all the shows and acting like a muppet dancing ta 70's music in the bar at santa pod every time ya end up in there
