Another Rip-Off. Whitey

It's a method to generate new members.  SASS is putting up a 'Member's Only' this Oct 19th also

I have referred to the site perhaps five or six times in the last two years or so.  Paying $35.00 for the honor would sure put a stop to it.

Tht is too bad, I hope it isn't a trend.

For several years I participated in a hunting web site that had "contributing members" that were allowed to post pictures, etc.  The suggested fee was $25.00 per year.  It was a nice system, newcomers were welcome to post and read without paying anything for as long as they wanted.  Most regular posters became contributing members.  I used to make a $100.00 donation each year because I thought I was getting so much from it.  Unfortunately as time went on it degenerated and I no longer participate.  I still think it is a good model for such sites.

  I wonder how many guys would drop out of this web site if ASSRA made you pay for a membership. 

How much do you think it cost ASSRA to run this site.  Do you think they do it at no cost. I get a lot of info from this site and sometimes I feel guilty because I'm not a ASSRA member, but I do try an help when ever I can,  like sending the 32 Miller Short and the 32-20 cases to 40 Rod for his article. 

As for me not being an ASSRA member that's a personal thing with me and till some of the members are invited back here I will not support ASSRA with my dues money,  but will help other members when ever I can and would send money to support this site as long as the baning gods do not get out of hand again and start banning guys without warring like they did before.

Guys, there's really no free lunch, ASSRA or someone has to pay for this site, and we all know that at times members and officials make mistakes, hopefully sooner or later mistakes will be corrected and some of the old time members will be welcome back, at that time I and I'm sure others would be more than happy to donate what ever it takes to make sure a site like this one will go on forever.
