membership cost?

[KE7GRM]

I noticed a membership cost area ...

Is there now a charge for membership?

Basic Membership = Free
Advanced Membership = $25/yr.
Premium Membership = $50/yr.

The membership levels are still under construction. Randy and I have both spent money out of pocket for the club. Depending on how much we raise, we will reimburse ourselves and reinvest any extra into the club. The 2 paid levels will be developed soon to provide additional features to those who pay for them. Down the line, we also intend to recruit some business sponsorships.

Well put Virgil. Yea, we are just tring to find a way to recoupe some costs. The club banner, the forum software and monthly hosting costs. We also would like to do some fundraising for charity down the road.
Mike, I saw you on APRS a few weeks ago, I called you but, No copy.

I did notice something about two different levels of paid membership.
$25 and $50....

Not a good idea, to expensive for many.
Make the cost $10, and limit some functions/forums for non paying members.
You will see a lot more people pay dues....

Non paying members,
No personalized avatars...
No private messages...
No picture/file upload, only linking.
No access to some sections of the forums.....

I would be willing to do a paid membership. Will you be using PayPal?
