Other sites do it, I might as well run it through here. I noticed the huge amount of members at this place dwarf the amount of people who supported the site. I won't throw stones as I been guilty of just mooching by, so if you can, help out with the operating expenses of this great site and become a site supporter

Just do it........ you will feel better

Trust me you will sleep better at night too.

Give the people a small recognition banner below their handle for their efforts and they will come** - not unlike that gold star you got on your homework in the 3rd grade! 'Tis True!

**I will do so anyway as will others, just sayin' out of other forum experience.

Where is the link to 'Support the Site'?

I looked kinda quick, and haven't found anything yet.
Maybe I missed it, if that's the case, maybe alot of the 'newbs' have to.


Edited.... I found it, My Controls, Paid Subscriptions.

I've been a member since '05 and hardly ever mess around with my Profile/Controls stuff so I didn't know it was there.

Maybe this could be a link on the forum/threads screen at the top or do a promotional/advertising banner?

Rick and Rick, Thanks for posting this. I don't really "ride" the subject much, but the help is greatly appreciated.

I am going to be rolling out some revisions to the Site Supporter program in the coming days/week. There will be a few "participation levels" which will give you varying degrees of benefit.

Keep an eye out for them, and all enrollments will be appreciated.

Best,

M

Good topic. I haven't contrbuted in quite a while. Money is tight this month, but I'll be sure to pay up next month.

are you taking benefit suggestions?

Yes! By all means, come on with it!

Ya, post it all up Mike when it's done. I'm do to re-up on some support too.

OK, so this morning I go ahead and buy my Rockford Package and I see the little "Site Supporter" add on and I figure, since I do spend a lot of time on here, might as well help out Mike a little with the day to day costs of running the site.
That said, are there any benefits we get for doing so? Just asking. Maybe get a T-Shirt with the Vintage Logo on it and perhaps "site supporter" on it?

Thanks for the heads up Rick. I'm paid up now. One of those things that isn't in your face so it's easy to overlook. A bargain for all the friends, memories, help and information VBMX has hooked me up with!

Is there an easy way to see when we last paid?

Another site recently just "took" the funds from a debit card number used previously. No advance warning or notification. That will not happen again.

Ours does not do that, it just expires your subscription, and you can choose to re-up (or not). All I can tell you is that, at present, Monster-Robot, your subscription is not in effect. Should you choose to do so, you can renew it here

Thanks for asking!!

Nick, I got a "Track volunteer" T-shirt with the Freedom bmx logo on it you might be interested in wearing ...lol...lol....lol...

I posted some ideas in that How much is my hawk worth post, maybe theyd apply here?
I know I want to be a member, I just keep losing the link, and then when I do find it, someone offers me something chrome and I bite....maybe if you just charged me the price of a used chrome frame with VBMX decals on it + site support fee, I somehow feel better about it...;-)

seriously tho, as soon as I have the PP free, Ill send it, and I for one wish to say my thanks to those that keep this board running, and especially for those pro riders that grace us with their presence..

I never even knew about this. I though site supporter referred to those with the little logos on the right or something(you know like BMX Companies).

I am ready to take the plunge! Shouldnt there be an easy to find link, or a easily seen tab across the top of the main page to become a supporter? Now that I want to do it, finding the info on here seems a bit difficult.

Oops! Found it! It is listed on the right column of Vintage advertisers!

Mine did it all automatically so I'm good. I know I'd forget otherwise.
