I appreciate RCC, its a good place for information. There are Aholes and many of them. There are Nice people and many of them. As a supporting member, I don't really give a crap if you support the site or not, its your choice. Tell me something. If this was a Pay site, and you were looking for information that could only be found here, would you pay?? Do you not appreciate the limitless information that is found on this site?? Imagine this site not existing, and the only way for you to get this information was from your trusty local hobby shop guy who is into nitro truggies and helicopters. Would you drive around town spending gas money and making long distance phone calls to hobby shops and places that have a little knowledge about crawling?? What about that killer deal on a like new Honcho scaler that you were just getting ready to buy. Some guy is liquidating it here on the site for 150 bucks! You were getting ready to drop 250 on a new one and you pick his up for 100 less. Is that not worth the 20 bucks it cost to support this site?? If it wasn't for this site, deals like that would not be possible. The information alone on this site is enough for me to empty out my couch cushions for 20 bucks in change. I'm not telling you to quit your bitchin, i'm not like that. But I am going to tell you to sit back, take a breath and relax. Getting all worked up about this is not going to get you anywhere. More and more people here are going to feed your fire and that is what they do. Just drop it. You're not hurting the feelings of the RCC owners by not paying. Its not a big deal. I'm not a RCC nut swinger either (trust me, it annoys me too). Just a guy who likes playing with toy trucks and I appreciate the info and entertainment that this site provides. |

I think new guys should get a 60-90 day guest/trial period. After that if they can't decide it is worth 20 bucks to stay. Bye....... | |

That's fine. You guys are obviously missing it. Try reading what is written and not just skimming through it. If it were a PAY SITE I would be a paying member. Easy enough to understand? The services I use on here are free to me, so I do not find a need to pay for further services in which I do not want to use. Guess I should burn in hell for that......  | |

You missed my point. Do you not think information you got in that thread was beneficial? Actually I'm on your side. I don't think anyone here should make you feel pressured to support this site by buying a star. And you are correct that Jason and Badger have it set up that way for a reason. I just don't buy your argument about this site not being beneficial. | |

Not buying a star? Fine. Quote:
Trying to defend your non-star buying rationality to a dedicated star buying member(s)? Lame. Like EeePee said, a star is a way of saying "thanks" to those that own, run, and maintain this site. Although, you'd probably look at it as nut-swinging.  | |

larger PM box is one of my favorite features. 100pm's was not enough in my opinion, so gold star was meant to be. also, it specs 15second wait time between searches it's actualy 5, how awesome is that. hope you enjoy your 90second wait PHILBILLY, almost enough time to  ....... just sayin

Not gonna chew anyone one out, or bitch about the no star holders. If you don't want to pay then don't. Like has been said its set up that way. One reason I give mine is to make sure the site keeps going and get to read through threads like this everyday. Its the people here that I keep coming back for. There is some funny crap that goes on here and its pretty cheap entertainment. I donate to some local charities(like Toys for Tots) and some National ones(Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and Diabetes Assn.) and dont get anything back from them but a good feeling(well maybe some back from the Elk foundation). Its called a philanthropic(sp?) gift. So dont buy a star if you dont want to, Im sure there is some tech out there from someone that has never bought a star. It takes all the members here to make this community. P.S. Thanks Jason and Badger and everyone else who makes this place what it is.  |

Okay. I see. I came across wrong. This site IS beneficial. I fully agree. I was more talking about the features I would receive by being a star holding member. The features I have at my disposal right now are sufficient and free, so that is the means of my argument. | |

This isn't billybob's 4 user forum. Supporting the PM's, images, links, information and letting you search takes huge amounts of processing and bandwidth. Be they hosting their own servers, then they need to buy servers and some sort of extremely high end service to allow so many users to simultaneous access the features. I am in IT and I shutter to think of the daily bandwidth required to run such a forum. Quote:
