Last summer there was a driving effort to get people to subscribe. At that time I paid up for two year and asked Dave and Ernie If I could pay for someones subscription as well, they said yes so I did. Since I have been here I have always been a subscriber so I really don't know what the site looks like to non subs.
I know there are members on this site that have limited funds and fixed income. Some also have been subs but had to let it laps do to tight budgets or just life hitting them in the face.
I also know there are some that just don't care to help at all, spending the same small sum every weekend so they can post in score threads.
I think I know a lot of people and the way they are on this site, when asked they step up to help others that fall on hard times or just need a little help, be them members or people we just don't know. So what if we start an effort to build the subscriber base, help in a very small way a lot of members and at the same time it generates funds for the site that we all benefit from?
We can do this a few ways
1) Non Subs can post in the thread, saying they would like to be a sub but just can't right now (what ever reason) but sure would like to try it out for a year.
2) anonymously- Find your own members you feel would like to be a sub but can't, and you feel they are deserving.
I personally like #1 as it can get infectious being a thread and interaction with the members. All of a sudden more and more members and subs see it and think it's a nice gesture.
I know I can handle 3-4-5 or so members myself, come-on some of us spend way more than that one subscription on a record right?
