Free Chartsview?

Hi Remo,

I agree with Jackozy, even if you have some other method of covering your costs,
having a subscription will help in other ways.

Hi remo,

Firstly, since you posted that suggestion in the Chartsview Announcements section, we cannot reply to it

Secondly, wouldn't those admin issues still arise even if CV were free?

Thirdly, I think you and Ronnie ought to decide as only you know how much you've invested in this site and how much work it entails. How would you ever see a return on that investment unless you started advertising?

Finally, from my own point of view I think there's some merit in keeping CV a subscription site. At least, if it costs, there will only be members who are serious learning or about making it work and contributing sensible ideas or questions. As a free site, not only will there be far more posts to trawl through but the quality may also diminish and there could be some serious moderation issues arising from a possible disruptive element which you could control on the III PBB but may not be able to on a free public service.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for freebies but there could be issues akin to the differences between the public BBs and the private ones. CV could end up be infiltrated by a load of fundamentalists which an agenda to subvert the good work of the technos lol!

Cheers!
