Re: membership thoughts...

Anyhow, here's the message: "We think you guys are the best on TN. You share so many great photos and your stories really add life to them. Its too bad TN doesn't base membership fees on contributions. You guys should have full free membership. Members like you keep other members from fleeing when their memberships expire." Any thoughts? S&J xx Back when this site was completely free I had a very full album and all the pictures reflected the topic of nudism (no bedroom undies shots etc.) When the policy changed to 'pay to view pictures' with no consideration given to those who were essentially providing the site with its content I withdrew all but the visible five pictures on principle. Whilst I have no problem with any site owner making a buck (because running a site does take a lot of time and does involve expense) I do find it rather 'off' to be providing content and paying for the priviledge when other sites have systems that log ones monthly uploads and, if one meets a reasonable predetermined 'quota' each month the following month is credited with a months membership (if that makes sense). Such a system results in an increase in overall content and makes it more attractive to 'lurkers' who pay to look at the pictures etc., whilst giving encouragement to those who contribute to keep on contributing. Just my thoughts. Love n stuff Rudie
