We should not complain about how circumstances are not as we like them to be ...
It's a lesson .... WE are here to use the opportunity to make it like we want it to be and then move on.

It's about the path not the destination !

Re: Bring back payed subscriptions
 

This reminds me on a free energy and freedom for all...
Heh, I can almost see some people who would cry to turn back time in that case! Imagine horror, where are all those good old hypnotic TV soap operas from the past...?! :naughty:

Or like Dr. Brian O'Leary like to say: "The truth will set you free. But first, it will **** you off."

Having to pay would deter new members. If you want to have a private members club, good luck with that.

Re: Bring back payed subscriptions
 

If we pay, do we get to hire our own staff, because going back to pay now would seem like a bad bargain....:naughty:

Take it easy

Re: Bring back payed subscriptions
 

Are you saying that only people with money should be allowed to post or make good posts?

Only people with money are "worthy"?

Poor people should not be allowed to have a voice in this or any other society?

People with money are better than poor people?

What is you message here?

Re: Bring back payed subscriptions
 

Hello M

It's an historic battle of opinions in the context of avalon, it was free for a year or so when it was launched, then it went to subscription for a similar period and now its free again. I didn't agree with paying for a forum, for exactly the reasons you provide above, so I read for the year it was subscription, (which I have to say was a good experience for me) but now I can write again, and I do so much less, because I have learned, most days, to walk away from the inflamatory threads and posters. Everyone should have a self-imposed ban and learn to be expanded by restriction !!

Take care

Re: Bring back payed subscriptions
 

I don't think going back to paid subscriptions is the solution.

Actually what would work better is to have an 'invite only' section where everyone can read but only those invited can post. (similar to the previous setup)

How to choose who gets invited and who does not? Simple .. we already have a group of moderators who can act as a council that would approve certain users for the invite only section and process their application... based on a set of criterias that they can agree on. This is a system that works for many communities in many different areas..


Yea it sounds elitist and looks like its out of a masonic handbook but the simple truth remains that until this place was 'paid only' only those that really cared bothered to pay (the rest who didn't have the money or means to pay, went to great lengths to have a free subscription) and contribute which resulted into much more harmonious and high energies (glad that others are also taking notice of this and I am not the only one.. some people get really upset when you tell them that certain individuals are more advanced than others... my advice to them... wake up and get over it... be honest about your place in the universe... yea at a certain level we are all one, but not in this 3D density)

Re: Bring back payed subscriptions
 

I've been here since the start, when it was free and people spoke freely and shared some great info, unfortunately those days are gone as at the first paid subscription we lost a lot of great posters out of sheer principle of paying for something which virtually everywhere else on the interrnet is free (there were a lot of discussions at the time). The recent events which have rocked the forum aren't due to too many unpaid posted messing things up as info should be free, this info we share should be. What rocked the forum recently was the 'old school' suppression card and the thought that things weren't right behind the scenes and the possibility that the forum may be being controlled... most here with highly tuned intuitions knew something wasn't right, hence the huge thread on that topic it wasn't about the subject matter of the thread it was the way someone was threated... It has left a bad taste in a few peoples mouths I feel...

Anyway I hope this forum can get back to the way it was originally before the first substription but I still wait for this day...

Re: Bring back payed subscriptions
 

The people that should also have input are the Mods and Admins. They deal with the day to day issues and have a very good idea on the pulse of everything.

Re: Bring back payed subscriptions
 

Bring back subscriptions, then You can have a private little club, call it masonic.
You can have funny uniforms and badges, dress up and have a rule book that goes up in degrees, with access restricted to only the few illuminated ones.
And watch this hobbit depart like road runner.

Re: Bring back payed subscriptions
 

wow you don't have to make it subscription to become private. you can setup another board and admission by Admin only. Guest will never see anything. Permissions will be set viewing by members only.
