WHY CANT I POST ANYMORE PHOTOS?

I wasn't asking for a higher limit! I'm high enough, thanks.

Someone asked about deleting previously posted pics to maintain below the limit but I don't think that's a good idea. Can't edit posts once the time runs out, anyway.

PM me the enrollment rates again. I'll keep crushing these beer cans.
The Corona bottles Valeria drinks hurt my feet though.

You have a TRoTB shirt????? I did not get one of those. We have guidelines at the office anyway. Minimum standards, you'd say.

 

u got to pay to play

 

I drive 'em padner. You're preaching to the chior!!!!

Lots of free sites out there. Rob's call, not mine. He's given notice

 

quick answer? no..... LOL!

 

So ONLY Silver members get unlimited images? What is the quota for Rossa?

 

Rob,

Just want some clarification as I thought this = ONLY Silver gets unlimited.

 

Thanks. I thought Rossa was the lesser of the two.

 

It is my fault really, I have this problem of scanning things quickly. I should L@@K closer.

 

Exactly

Should I or others get paid to offer tips and help or does this site benefit and profit from the collective of all.

Some of the technichal articles with photos here took hours for the authors to post, and I am sure they are highly paid people and they did it for free to help others.

 

8000 users and 100 actual Ferrari owners, we will get some real magazine racing now.

 

Rob,

I am not saying you should not be compensated, you should be, but charging members to post pics and other limitations is the wrong way to go IMO, look at many of the tech guys here that know their stuff and many long time contributors they are not subscribed, so that means they are limited in how they can offer their expertise.

BTW Whats to be jealous of ? Personally I wouldn't want this site, too much time,effort, and headaches for the return but we are all grateful you want it.

This is your baby and I think you have done a great job building this site to where it is today but I think you are shooting yourself in the foot for a few bucks by charging contributors.

You have some of the biggest and most knowledgeable Ferrari enthusiests in the world here surely that is very valuable to merchants in the auto field, not to mention the demographic of the Ferrari owners here have a much higher than avg income which is surely valuable to many sellers of consumer goods, expand your revenue that direction.


No hard feelings anyway I was in a bit of a pissy mood when I posted earlier.

 

I'm not a Ferrari caretaker, but I still paid my dues because clearly there's value in Ferrarichat. Tech/Pros have been encouraged to notify Rob on numerous occasions so he can help them continue to help F-Chatters by helping themselves to the cornucopia of shared knowledge. Indeed, there is more than one way to make a contribution to Ferrarichat.

The "free web" only goes so far and always at someone else's expense. Free websites tend to collapse under the weight of their "free" success. One characteristic of adulthood, in my view, is when one stops living off of someone else's dime. As such, "free" is also the defining word in freeloader. Please do not rail against the preceding sentence - I mention it in the context of free uploading of images, not as if anyone is a sponge which absorbs but is left to dry - never to be put to good use. Rather, we should be like a real sponge - absorbing (e.g. water, which takes the path of least resistance), yet give give all a sponge can when given a squeeze.

 

It's all a very simple question of economics and value.

If it's important to access a private forum, post pictures on someone's internet Chat board service and is worth $ to you, then you happily pay. If not, then you happily don't. Consumers can always access somewhere else.
This is not a public good. This is Rob's FerrariChat; he has been a gracious host, has costs (financial and opportunity) and must do as he sees best.

This board is just as much the property of the members. If you don't like the rules vote with your feet and post elsewhere. If enough people do so, Rob would soon get the message. (I am not advocating this). I don't see the subscription thing as an issue, but I won't be paying so other members can benefit from my experiences. I am happy to contribute and share, but the day it costs me a dime to do so, I'll be out of here.

 

I can see where Rob is coming from, in that it costs money to run a site such as this, and he should not bear the cost of 8000+ people posting here. I also feel that there are several users that contribute huge amounts and aren't paid up, and it would be a shame to lose their input. I think that the point that you pay for other services is valid, however I feel that every dollar I save by continuing to "freeload" is another one put to my first Ferrari . It is Rob's decision, and I can see where he is coming from, I just hope that I can still contribute here in the future.

i certainly couldn't answer, seeing as how i have absolutely no clue whatsoever...

 

How come I can't post a pic anyone?? I took some pics of Ferrari today I wanted to post the pics in the Canada forum.
It says to me:
Picture 910-1.JPG:
Exceeds your quota by 25.58 MB

So now I have to upload my pics somewhere else ..(like imagestation) for you guys to see my pics.
no way I'm not doing that.

 

time to pay to play...or look for another site.

It's been in the works for awhile, converting this one to a pay for post, but not to just view.

you can still look for free
