Such as a Contributing Member with fee set at $40 a year, or a Long Time Member with a fee of $50 a year? Wouldn’t it be a good idea to reward those who have been on here for some time and who have taken the time to enter a large number of dogs?

Just a thought…. Back to fixing plumbing… haha!

I do see that Jack has addressed most of these issues in his post which I won’t quote as it is all there above.

When I first built this site, my own monthly fee to host it was $50 ($600/year).

Now, because of the load to the server, I myself am paying $150/month ($1800/year), 3x as much, to host this very same place for yall.

I did not cry to my provider and ask for "special consideration" or "long time member" preference; I had the same choice all of you have: to shut down or to keep going.

I chose to keep going, and I now pay $150/month, $1800/year to run this place, so yall can kiss my ass about price hikes, or "how much" this place costs, because it costs ME nearly 20x what it costs "you" :lol:

Unlike my service provider, who gives "me" ZERO perks, I have very clearly stated ways in which "you guys" can get FREE MEMBERSHIP ... and that is by ADDING PEDIGREES or REFERRING PEOPLE. And some of you will already get it, based on what you've done.

I am fucking sick of anyone crying to me about a "price hike" now. The subject has been addressed. Completely addressed.

I am not going to continuously go over the same shit. The next person to talk about this subject gets their ass booted out of here.

It's very simple: either pay the fee, put some freakin pedigrees in here and get FREE MEMBERSHIP, refer someone for the same, or STFU and get lost.

The choice is yours, thanks,

Jack
