New Members joining by the dozen (1 Viewer)

[KiwiKampers]

I spotted in the New Members section that no fewer than 12 people have joined Motorhome Fun today alone!
That's a staggering number. I don't know if it's an average head count or whether today just happened to be especially productive.
I congratulate them on finding us and joining us but I congratulate Jim even more for creating such a wonderful and worthwhile website.
I do hope those that signed up today actually pay their £15.
I have to admit that I rarely give the new members a welcome until after I have seen them change from green to blue. I don't see why they should have a free lunch!

We always have a flurry of new members when a new issue of the magazine is published. But 99% don't subscribe, they are happy to be read only. There are literally many thousands who log in everyday who read every word we write, they can see most everything and don't feel the need to subscribe. You only need to subscribe if you want to interact or attend rallies.

Seems strange to me that lots are read only when you can get good benefits from subscribing.

It’s not a large amount imho for the gains you get.

Still each to their own

I hope those that don`t subscribe, cannot read my jokes....

thats the reason only 1 per cent pay

 

[LesW]

It would be nice if new members said a quick hello before diving straight in with a question though.

Probably that's why some don't pay

Are you trying to protect their sanity?

Of course there was a Dozen joining.

Most of us are still too old to understand Decimal.

I agree it is not a huge amount. But being a newbie I can tell you it can add up. If you joined every forum and club it would come to a lot of money. I think Jim has it right, I didn't have to pay at first and therefore I was able to browse until I knew it was something I want to spend my money on. As an example I also joined the Burstner Owners Club UK and found it to be money wasted. The BOCUK won't allow you on their site until you have paid them so you are taking a leap of faith.
Good luck to those that get this site for free, I am happy that my £15 is value for money.

Cheers

Gerry

You're meant to be encouraging people to join, not put them off!

I Wouldn't Want to Belong to Any Club That Would Accept Me as a Member


Only joking Jim.

Why do you think they don’t join ?

Over the years I must have saved a fortune by being a member. So many hint and tips. The daily quiz is worth it alone. Rally meetings are great fun.
Example. Buying a lithium battery gets you 10% off.

I also think the daily quiz is worth the subscription. Thanks to dryad.

I had been camping and motorhoming here and over there and restoring classic vehicles for donkey's years before I joined but I appreciate the technical, operational, site and equipment/parts suppliers information even if it's just committed to memory for future reference.
For the past lockdown year I've been compiling a list of 'must visit' places and routes that have been shared on here, ready for when the foreign travel restriction ease.

I think the real value is to be found in the areas that they can't access, so it's their loss.

 

[Rosemary1]

A large part for me is access to the rallies (well in a normal year ) well worth the £15 for that alone

 

[AG 2602]

To get answers back on problems I am incapable of solving alone (most within 30 seconds of posting) £15 is an absolute bargain!
What can you get for £15.....

I have to say that our subscription has been worth every penny! With the help of DBK I hope I've got it right, we had the most wonderful travels round Corsica in 2019. You advised to go anticlockwise, recommended places to stay overnight and didm at least forewarn us of the very narrow roads and steep drops!!! Thankyou., DBK, we have memories,with our photos, to look back on now in lockdown thanks to you.

5 cups of coffee.
The knowledge of dozens of experts I won’t name names but you know who you are. Many thanks to all of you. You must have saved many funsters hundreds of pounds in fitters fees. And I also get many belly laughs. And the occasional visit to the dunces corner is good. I like a good old chinwag and a cuppa

 

[pappajohn]

4.1p per day....... Even someone begging on the street could afford that.

Don't let Jim Know it's such a bargain.

No offence taken. Thanks for translating Emoji.

I used to just view the forum without payment and enjoyed it. Then one day someone called Jim said "no more" so I had to pay, and to be fair after sunbscrining I do get more out of the forum now. There is more of interest to read in the areas you couldnt read without subscription, although I was considering asking for a rebate when I saw Old Mo's jokes !
