I see more and more users with 100+ posts that are not VIP members. Not trying to be pushy in any way, but I thought I would throw a post in the SRX section reminding everyone to contribute if they can. Here is a link to a great post by crewchief47: VIP That post is in the "Lounge" and I thought maybe some may not realize it was there. Here is the text of the post if you don't want to follow the link:...
This is a blatant ‘Sales’ pitch but unlike with telemarketers or door knockers, you can stop reading at any time without being ‘rude’! This is NOT intended to guilt trip any of you into VIP, it just expands on a comparison I’ve made in the past.
I believe a majority of the members and lurkers that visit TY and the forums would agree that the information provided is immensely useful. The tech section is full of information that continues to grow every season, and the forums have become a community of like minded sled heads and Yamaha fans/owners.
I like to compare VIP membership costs to a magazine subscription. I receive “Circle Track and Racing Technology” every month at a cost of $12 US for the year. I burn through the issue in 4 hours or less when it shows up and I’m left waiting for the next one. In contrast, I can spend 30 minutes every day trying keep up with the forums, and often need more than that during the season. For the cost of a magazine subscription, I receive hours, if not days, of TY addiction
per month. As an added bonus, everyone gets FREE access to a very lively and productive classified section, the TY Tech Pages, and real time information available in the forums.
TY would not be what it is today without all this ‘free’ information, but it would not BE at all without VIP members and donators. Bandwidth costs money and many smaller boards have faded away into internet oblivion because they didn’t receive financial support. I’d be surprised if most everyone that has visited TY hasn’t saved at least $10-20 in parts and/or their own time.
As you can see, I’ve bought in for the long haul, and have even agreed to help keep the forums clean and tidy. If VIP membership sounds like something you might be interested in, you can find information about the various packages HERE!
