BV, you've done it again. Never thought about it that way. You only need to be a member to post, hmmm! If we deleted membership from say 1st June 2012 that would free up space for new more active members. No extra cost.<br />
I'll get in touch with Tim.

<p>If I dont use my mobile phone for 3 months the account is locked and if I haven't used it in 6 months then the account closed and the number will be re-issued. Perhaps some system like that could be employed to ensure there is room for those who will be <em>'Active'</em></p> Tim, setup a paypal account a…tag:duttonowners.ning.com,2012-12-23:2398922:Comment:740182012-12-23T17:47:31.262ZAdrian Southgatehttp://duttonowners.ning.com/profile/AdrianSouthgate
<p>Tim, setup a paypal account and you can have my '10 year in' right now.</p>
<p>I might be being harsh here but I see the simple solution as disabling someone's user account if they haven't paid by 31-01-2013. They can have read only access of the front page pretty much as we see it now until they cough up the £1.50 at which point full access can be restored. I'm sure the .ning system can cope with restrictions like that.</p>

<p>How much does it cost each year? as long as its affordable , count me in too, is the £150 if the site upgrades on top of the cost or the whole cost per year, because, if enough of us agree to step up to the plate then might it be worth having the upgrade so that if by chance we exceep the current limit, then theres no need to axe some members who might be put off from returning at a later date</p>

<p>So am I right in understanding that all 150 members have posted some time this year? If thats the case it is going to be difficult to get every one to cough up for an up grade, because your going to get some saying, why should I pay when I dont use the site on a regular basis. </p>
<p>So ...... here is a proposition: as Tim currently funds this personally with out asking us for any money, how many of us are prepared to split the annual cost of an upgraded site with him.</p>

This is what I like about the site over the others, it's instant. We can see when the member last visited the site, and that's how we have been able to accept new members by deleting the earliest dated visits. Here's where the difficulty starts as the last space I made had last visited the site in Feb 2012.<br></br>
Tim, if you can send out another mail asking if a member is still an active Duttoneer, if you don't receive a reply by let's say 1st Jan 2013 we could remove them. That would release…

<p>So long as the facebook style front page isn't lost I'm easy and happy to pay if that keeps things as they are.</p>
<p>One thing I still dont quite understand is the limit is 150 members but I don't see anything like that number using the site regularly certainly not posting regularly.</p>
<p>Seems to me the popular part of the site is the front page. Would it not be possibe to keep to the 150 limit with only active members? </p>
<p>Just a thought</p>
