I wonder how many UK Chatters will be paying a subscription to F.Chat? or whether there are any views about staying or going elsewhere to chat.
Warren, Have I missed something? Paying a subscription? At what cost, and from when? If not too pricey, I'd be inclined to stay here, as interest is high. Perhaps there are some computer geeks (far geekier even than myself) on here who can help\advise of what's involved in setting up an independent Forum. There is always the FOC forum, but I do not know how viable this would be as I'm unaware what proportion of Fchatter are FOC members. Perhaps another poll is called for.... Stig
Well, if that's all it's gonna cost, I too will stay for sure. It will take a long time to build up to the good karma levels that are sustainable here. Stig
For those who need to get up to speed on the subscription debate here is the link to the discussion on the Gereral pages http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11642 Wazza

I'd be quite happy to sign up to the Silver level, can't see the extra benefit of Rossa. Unless all the UK guys join Rossa and have their own private Rossa only chats that I can't get in on!
Chose to subscribe to Rosso, but not so much for the additional facilities. I saw it more as an opportunity to acknowledge the work Rob has done in setting up this shrine to all that is Ferrari. It has brought me more contact and opportinity so far than the FOC, and for that I am deeply thankful, and that is worth £27 of my money (oh yeah, only bought a year as I'm a pikey git!) Stig
I'm in the "don't know" camp still. I certainly don't think the amounts are substantial. I am stuggling with the principle of paying.Anyway I'llprobably do it 'cause I'd really miss you guys if I didn't. By the way how do you make the payment ?
Philip, first register with PAYPAL,then click on subscription you want.Very easy and took 5 mins to do .
Do most of you post on Pistonhead's Ferrari forum? It's free I'd probably join the Silver but i feel the main advantage of the internet is that i can jump between forums easily and without charge... if all the forums i visit became a paid service then i'd be skint! hehe
I have a look on there every day, but don't post much.No particular reason for that, but i have got used to coming here and have met a decent bunch of blokes through this site.
Blimey - if we're decent blokes I hate to see the people you think arn't Sarah thinks I a sad git for being on this site and won't allow me to do Rossa so I'll have to stay silver . No doubt I'll regret telling her
Daz, When did you subscribe? I subscribed to rosso at the end of last week and nowt has happened so far.... Stig
Stig, should be instant....did you register with PAYPAL 1st? You can't pay by credit card so therefore need a PP account ...
Tony, Yep, been a PayPal junkie for years. Payment has been made to "Curvacom LLC" by PayPal. P'raps I'll drop Rob a line... Stig
