I'm curious as to why some individuals who are frequent posters are not subscribed. I admit to some prejudice, but I'd be interested in the justification.
Simply because I am a tight @rse. Sorry but it's trueI'm curious as to why some individuals who are frequent posters are not subscribed. I admit to some prejudice, but I'd be interested in the justification.
I agree.When was this ever a democratic forum. There has always been a group that has felt it is THEIR forum. So why should anybody but that group pay?
Several years ago there was a controversy about a fabricator who required full payment up front, and then ignored paying customers and allowed his friends and their friends to go to the front of the queue, those members who where bumped down the queue waited months longer, or in some cases never got anything, and the A list members of your community told that group to shut up and not complain about their friend.
do you really expect the members who got bumped down that queue and found out they are not equals to poke YOUR pig? If the only time you are willing to treat them as equals is when you want their money, why do you expect to get their money?
Or you could ask how many members won't contribute because of past experience with abusive posters like PSK. People who think their opinion is more important than an open discussion. But you may find some of those abused members are not active, and have not been active for some time.
I imagine many inactive members can give you many other reasons they wont pay to support another groups playground.
I'm a relative newbe in comparison to a great number of members; I joined a little under 3 years ago and have been a subscriber most of that time. I can imagine that some of what is described above, goes on, but I've never really seen any of it, or have ignored it and moved on.When was this ever a democratic forum.

That very nicely sums up my feelings.This is such an invaluable resource in promoting and maintaining our cars that even if someone does has an occasional problem with one or more of the other members, I would hope that they would put that aside and support the BB; this is a resource that we can't afford to lose. Before I joined I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about Alfas, but after following the BB for the last few years, I realize that I had just scratched the surface.
Best regards,
Why am I an abusive poster please? Because I currently don't subscribe?. Surely this site is foremost about sharing knowledge and I actually do genuinely try to help/share what I have learnt.Or you could ask how many members won't contribute because of past experience with abusive posters like PSK.

Share what you learned! Where did you learn to despise Ferrari owners? I learned that you do not like people posting anything positive about Ferrari, I've learned how little you think of Ferrari owners, and simply because I am an owner I have learned what you think of my mechanical skills. something you know nothing about. You are no better than an attack comic, it might be my fault that I own a F car, but it is not my fault that you don't own one. If attacking b list members is your contribution then pay your subscription and mine. Or prove you are not the A list court jester and go after G Raymond. He owns a Ferrari too, so how did he escape your wrath?Why am I an abusive poster please? Because I currently don't subscribe?.
