MG-Rover.org Launches Subscription Service

Today I've had to create a subscription service for MG-Rover.org. As some of you hopefully noticed, dealers were advertising on the website via the Dealer Network section. However, you can appreciate that given the recent developments this won't be continuing for long.

Alternative funding has to be found for the site to continue and whilst I always said I would never ask for a penny from the members, that was based on the assumption that the dealers would pay for the running of the site. It didn't occur to me that there could be a danger of no dealers around to pay for the website.

If there was another alternative I would take it, sadly banner advertising these days doesn't bring in much.

Firstly, you won't be forced to subscribe, the forums will still be free to use, you will just not have all the features that you currently have. You can read more about the subscription system here in the FAQ: http://forums.mg-rover.org/faq.php?faq=subs_faq_item

Prices start from £10 a year, for the basic package rising to £25 for the Gold package, which includes a 10% discount from our new online shop (i.e. not the current shop). This, in addition to the other discounts available to gold members could well pay for the subscription many times over. (Depends how mad you go in the online shop! )

£10 may sound a fair bit if you haven't got £10, but if you break it down, its just over 2p a day! Bargain really.

Instructions on how to subscribe are in the FAQ too, so please if you find the website fun and useful, please help out in the running of the site and subscribe

Lastly, the subscription service is open now, but will not take effect until the 1st of July.
