Thanks for the reply Mike but what sort of financial shortfall are we talking about? Do we have a treasurer for the fan club? Are the books audited?
(I'm not in any way suggesting that anything bad is happening but just that I'm the treasurer of a non-music club that I belong to and have been able to spot some ways of saving money that non-accountants have not been aware of.)

Could these questions be answered please. i do think they are extremely valid for all current members. I for one would most certainly like the answer especially whilst we are discussing potential "add ons" to membership costs.

Mike, just keep your stupid ideas to yourself. You are hurtning a lot of members with those things you say.

If you want to earn quickly money, start an escort service.

This is getting too personal.

If you wish, attack the ideas NOT the person.

eases some of the burden on those who pay full fees. that's it plain if not simple.

(oh.... and i'm not mad (I assume)

So??

perhaps i'm mad but, i am a member of MLUKFC,therefore i pay the membership fee.........BUT i don't have the slightest problem with non paying, non members of MLUKFC being here on the site
i don't go around with the attitude ,that's not fair, they pay and i don't!!
nor would i .......i think all should be welcome here

reads as though you resent non members being on the site,....wether that was intentional or not ,that;s how it reads to me

Tim, even if you don't like what is being discussed here, there is absolutely no need for insults like this. Consider this as a warning.

Deb · 01 Feb 2004, 18:58

I agree Bren, I dont mind others being here either, I look at it as we get he mags, badges and stuff for our membership they dont. Plus the M+G's of course

Ahh well, I think I could leak some info to cool down the discussion a little bit:

The changes to come are in fact a little different to what you all are thinking.
And there's no need to worry, you may still access the forums in the future as you used to do.

Dave · 01 Feb 2004, 19:15

Tim, that is a horrid thing to say to anyone!

Thanks Chris - I didn't interpret it like that but it is indeed food for thought

MEAT LOAF TRIBUTE · 02 Feb 2004, 10:57

Well found Chris! Its amazing what you can find if you look!!!

CarylB · 02 Feb 2004, 11:09

I didn't interpret it that literally either Sin .. I tend to think that's one of Meat's comments that needs running through the filter machine :)

Not sure that interpreting something is quite the same as finding it though

MEAT LOAF TRIBUTE · 02 Feb 2004, 11:14

Not many ways of interpreting" this may shut down"

I disagree, particularly when "this" is by no means clearly specified. As people are so ready to point out, we're all entitled to our opinion.

MEAT LOAF TRIBUTE · 02 Feb 2004, 11:57

Yes we are entitled to our own opinion, i have mine, you have yours. But you try to impose yours on everyone else! If you take "this" out of context it could mean anything, agreed! but Meat was talking about "this" site and his concerns about "this" site and the fact he wouldnt post AT "THIS" SITE! in future. He also stated he had his own site. Isuggest your nitpicking

How about we settle this with a game of paper, rock, scissors

Jayd · 02 Feb 2004, 12:24

I am a paying member of the fan club, and I for one don't care who uses this site, paying members, non-paying, the people who have an opinion about something ( this being something a lot may not agree with ), the only people I have a problem with are the ones who post nasty and abusive stuff. To me Mike is only suggesting things at the moment as a wayto help the running of this site and club, I don't think a slight donation each year will hurt us. I will be even willing to pay a donation as well as my membership fee to help out, if it means getting rid of the nasty one's, ( no, not the people with an opinion, the nasty people).

Dunno about you Chris but I interpreted the whole post by Meat different than some are seeing it

Also Caryl, how come you can be so sensitive to Meats feelings and put his words through the filter or what ever it was, yet anyone else you pick apart and pull them up on every single little short coming, whats good for one is good for all, we're all human you know.

CarylB · 02 Feb 2004, 13:06

One of life's great nysteries I guess. However, you exaggerate again imo
