NSX Prime Is Switching To A Paid Membership Site

[OLDE GUY]

APRIL FOOLS - I hope!

I had the same immediate thought. April fools?

APRIL FOOLS - I hope!

Yeah no kidding. :redface:

Seems weird to go from free to $10/mo. :frown:

It's probably worth every penny, but sheesh...

Since it is worth every penny why not make a contribution to the upkeep of the site. Besides, you'll get the cool distinction of being a donor above your avatar.

i think it's perfectly reasonable for a provider of such services as prime provides to consider implementing a subscription fee for doing so. y/our responses will help lud define a reasonable offering/model... feedback is a **good** thing.

otoh, this could be:

* a trial balloon to test the waters (is the mixing of metaphors acceptable here?

* april fool's troll

based on my experience in subscription modeling, the model as defined isn't optimized... but lud will "get" that in time.

be well, all.

come on, he can do better than that... What about team up with Ken and raise the nsxca registration fee, so nsxca memebers do have the privilege browsing this site??

Non-nsxca members will suffer from the otherwise $10 monthly fee... It will be excellent to keep those 13 yrs old foul mouth boys away... (They have better things to buy for $10 a month (read porn) :biggrin

Definitely a joke. Who can forget last year's NSX focus group thread . . .hilarious. :biggrin:

I was planning to do just that, but I guess I will wait and see if this is for real or not.

There is no reason to believe that NSX Prime will become a pay to use site in the near future. It's not like there is hardcore porn going on here. :biggrin:

I think the fact that this is a 4/1 to 4/2 sticky gives the joke away.

 

[ak]

What!! No Discover card?! :biggrin:

 

[NRG]

OH man....$10/month is kind of steep. I think $20/year would be more appropriate...it's like I'll need to give up my Playboy magazine subscription instead.

I remember when Comptech was giving away free oil caps. But you had to speak to Comptech oil cap expert, Shad Huntley.

What gave this away was no opening comment to explain the thread title.

Happy April Fools Day! :biggrin:
