True...it is FINALLY a pay site which I totally support. I have been saying it should be a pay site for years. First of all, unlike here where there are advertisers to help pay the freight, the owner (Randy) carried the full cost on his back not to mention the dozens of hours each week to manage all the happenings, new members etc. It was a thankless job. Even if everyone signed on at the highest level, the site will still need to be subsidized by Randy. I figure it is about the cost of a couple tanks of gas a year....chump change. But what a value !!!!!! Also, the new site is far improved with more features and more benefits. If people simply take advantage on one mass buy or special discounted products and services for SCOF members only, the site will pay the user back more than the cost. I can't wait until all the dust settles and the new benefits and features are rolled out. This is going to be even better yet. And heck....even with all the emails it is like reading this one thread here in a day. Not a big deal even if there are some off topic comments like stock tips and minor whining. 8-)
