If folks are complaining about $16/yr, then perhaps a Porsche isn't the car for you. My $.02
$32 for 2 years = no brainer. I became a "member" after about 2 weeks. The folks that I have met, mostly members, have been extremely helpful. From assisting me during my configuration process, to recommendations during European Delivery, to meeting for burgers at Louie's (thanks Tony), and drinks with JD in NYC, was all made possible because of Rennlist. THE PROFESSIONALISM AND GREAT ATTITUDE of theses folks are insurmountable. Of course, we are allowed to voice opinions, but those who choose to use this forum to bash others, please take the attitude and make a SPECtacle of yourself elsewhere. You are allowed to keep posting great pictures though

Fortunately, those who are making great contributions to this site are mostly ALL members. All the ones that cause problems are mostly all NOT members. I've become so much more knowledgeable in the 911 and Porsche world because of the great members here. I appreciate it a lot. Membership and quality of contributors is directly related. Why is this place so much better than 6Speed and the others?
Having a bit of skin in the game makes for a better environment here. Really, $32.00 for 2 years that expensive?
Corporate profits? I hope there are some. They are offering a valuable service here. The original owners sold it for what? A profit! Internet Brands bought Rennlist for $$$, they didn't get it for free.
I don't work for free, and I'm sure nobody else does. Profit is what drives this great country of ours. How else can we make a living to afford day to day expenses and nice toys? We aren't a communist country.

$32 for two years is not putting anyone's skin in the game. Causation vs. correlation.
Whether its expensive or not has ZERO to do with my point. I don't care if its $1 or $1000.
Internet brands bought this site because it saw a profit opportunity.
They profit from advertisers and sponsors already. If you want to add to that profit and see value in it, thats great, free country and all.
to suggest that the value of this place is anything more than its userbase is crazy. Rennlist with no users is worthless.
If you want to pay for membership, do it. but recommending others do it is ridiculous.

this is a load of crap. The value of this forum is its membership. Without the members, rennlist is just a vessel. When it was john D, I could see the value. With internet brands, your membership is just padding their corporate profits. You want to avoid ads, take 2 seconds and install ad-block plus. You won't see a single advertisement. If you like the OT forum, cool. If you want to sell stuff, cool. Otherwise, you might as well give your money away. If rennlist disappeared one day, we'd all migrate to pelican, or 6 speed, or wherever and the value would be the same because its YOU who creates value (not just in terms of knowledge, but in terms of site visits to drive IBs bottom line).

I think if someone doesn't have a membership, I'm not going to waste my valuable time helping with any sort of advice in many of these redundant threads.

As under John Dunkle, Rennlist is still a user supported site. If you can't see the difference (Quadcammer I am talking to you) check out Audiworld which is an IB site which unlike Rennlist is NOT user supported. As to other sites, the way I see it, 6speed is mostly about bling. Pelican is a DIY site and worthy. The best tech is still here along with breaking news thanks to some of our Members who are privy to insider info.
Quadcammer you seem to spend a lot of effort defending your refusal to become a Member. Based (only) on the number of reported posts I get which feature you, I'd say you biggest contributions to this site are snarky responses, condescension and trolling.
To turn around what you have posted, if YOU were to disappear, Rennlist would be a happier place.

And to the good Rennlisters here, don't stand for the hooligans. Report any offensive posts to the moderators. Click the circle in the upper right hand corner of that post, and hit "report" on the bottom. Hopefully they get dealt with by the moderators.

i think it is good to allow non-paying memeber some time to see if it is worth it. I know that I lurked for some time before I saw the value and decided it was time to contibute for what I was getting (i.e. information). Perhaps there should be a limited amount of time before non-paying member have to pay if they want to play -- just a thought!

My only complaint is the recent puritanical crackdown against profanity in posts. Otherwise, all good.

Explain how its user supported? Are you stating that the site does not cover its costs via advertising and sponsors?
Audiworld is a cute example. How about mbworld. Looks just like rennlist, zero cost to anyone.
Edit: If the user support is so crucial to the site, why isn't a paid membership mandatory?

And to those who feel an obligation to "buy in," please do so. But be respectful to others who do not share your view. Some of us really appreciate what we learn here and pay back with our own experiences and knowledge. Some of don't care to share a marketplace with rennlisters, or socialize with them outside of the internet, or read off topic threads, etc.
Furthermore, when a moderator comes in and airs the dirty laundry of a "user" it can only come across as poor judgement and those quote him are not far behind. Frankly I was surprised by that post.

How good a web forum is or isn't has nothing to do with membership fees and everything to do with the quality of the people participating in it.
