Now if the 100 bucks was an initial membership fee, with a yearly renewal of a lesser amount (like half), then I'd be behind it 100%. That would make more sense at to protecting ones investment to me.
Reading many of the comments about the price increase got me thinking….

Since this is directly due to the wrongful actions of only a very few members, why not have a different pricing for long time members who have been with this site for several years and for those who have contributed to this community?

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.
