Who passed away.
Right. But that’s in the member’s section, which a majority of people can’t access...which is why I made the post here in the open (after multiple questions in chat).

Said another way, I don’t think most members realize how few actually contribute to keep this wonderful thing alive.View attachment 235811
I don’t think most paying members realize how small the membership of their club is.
AmenLuckily, we haven't had to use the black band very often. But, we do it to show respect to our CFF family whenever someone loses a close one.
I'll gladly buy a random non-payer a yearly just to educate someone. Whaddya think? Contest? Let's do it!Said another way, I don’t think most members realize how few actually contribute to keep this wonderful thing alive.
LOVE IT!!!!I'll gladly buy a random non-payer a yearly just to educate someone. Whaddya think? Contest? Let's do it!
I’m down, make it 4 winners.
Why not just go with the four winners for now,then make the contest a yearly thing with former winners excluded,I'm actually thinking one-a-month for a year. I'd have fronted it myself, but I'll gladly share the opportunity. I'd suggest that maybe the contest be open to 'members' who have been on board at least x [period of time] to capture those who are actually free-riding (a new member might join on his/her own after an evaluation period [I did] ). And I'd prefer that an admin set it up, since there will have to be both financial and entry management done. I'll do it, but I don't know exactly how that will work.
I guess you could make me an admin ...

I wouldn't mind seeing it go a step further, where non supporting members can view the bst but not participate in them unless they cough up twenty bucks.I know this has been tossed around, but what about charging a small fee for those that want to list stuff. To me there is huge value in the knowledge, etc. of the firum to justify 20bucks....but the value of dealing with trusted people in BST is more than worth 20bucks. Can a non paid member pay 5 bucks for 1 year of using the BST? I mean i know thats not much but if it kept the lights on or made a few giveaways happen it would be great.
Not that i dont like the idea if giveaways for non paying members to see the benefit of membership... but honestly its giving something free to someone who wont cough up 20 bucks...doesn't seem like theyll appreciate it. I doubt they will suddenly see the light and start paying...just freeload for a year and let it expire.
And get offended when they sell so much or talk about selling stuff and you ask them to become a vendorI wouldn't mind seeing it go a step further, where non supporting members can view the bst but not participate in them unless they cough up twenty bucks.
Some have made big money off the site without kicking in a measly twenty bucks
"I'm actually thinking one-a-month for a year." That's only 12.Why not just go with the four winners for now,then make the contest a yearly thing with former winners excluded,
If people expect the one a month thing there is less incentive to join
