  • Additional Membership Options

    I notice we now have a tab at the top of the page leading to membership options, which are basically paid for priveledges on the forum.

    First question, what is the bungalow forum?

    Second question, who's gunna pay for the privelage?

    Cheers Andrew

    Is this why my Tapatalk access now no longer works. Can access forum using Safari, but not Tapatalk.

    Sad to see this occur... personally, I won't be paying the fees.

            I understand the need to off-set costs, etc. but, there needs to be a return on value. Considering the value of this public forum is the information that it's members freely share with others, and the open discussions, I am sad to see this occur. Not sure how it will affect the dynamic & spirit of the forum... but it is likely to diminish the input of many.

            From my own point of view, the $55 annual fee for basic access to Tapatalk is not value for money. Considering I visit this forum for fun & to help others, I won't be paying a premium for the privilege. It won't be fun anymore.

            Twitter is free. Facebook is free. Many other forums are free.

            If a fee is truly needed... Why not reward those that have significantly contributed to its success to date? Or some other mechanism that rewards loyalty or contributions. Certainly understand charging those that want to use the forum for commercial purposes... But not general users.

            Sad to see this move. Looks like a PradopointFB forum starting up soon - for free.

            PS. Hope this doesn't result in users removing previous posts& links to info.

                  You and me both Andrew!

                  $55 just to be able to use Tapatalk is a bit steep

                  Some forewarning would have been nice.

                    Agree with you all. I'm certainly not paying to use tapatalk. Unfortunately I just paid $5.99 to upgrade to tapatalk hd. Not happy that there was no warning as I purchased it just for this forum. I don't use a pc when on this forum so tapatalk is the only decent option on the iPad and iPhone so I guess it's been nice knowing ya's.

                      I just checked, you can log in as a guest using tapatalk, but not log in as a member. Sorry but that is just plain dumb, every tom dick and nobody can use it for free, but members have to pay?

                      A bit like explore Oz, non members get it for free, members pay........ go figure.

                        This is how I see it,
                        You guys around me here in this thread, you are the ones that make this forum so successful, you the ones who have posted 100's and 1000's of times. You guys are the reason I log on everyday to read your stories and take in your knowledge. You are the members that make this forum what it is.
                        I don't this it's right for someone to charge for the privilage of you sharing your kloweledge.

                            Membership options have long been discussed and I've finally decided to offer them to those who are interested.

                            As a regular registered member you don't lose anything. If you wish to become a financial member you gain additional benefits.

                            The Bungalow is a forum set aside for financial, retail and corporate members. It places conversations and discussions out of the public view.

                            TapaTalk has always been on trial here. The impact of TapaTalk and ad blocking techniques means that we don't really have a sustainable source of income.

                            It's my goal to make PradoPoint a sustainable website, one that can grow and continue to be developed and updated as the years roll on.

                            We have a valuable resource here, which is being easily tapped into by companies and retailers who are generating significant sales from our member base.

                            In part, these membership options will formalise how businesses have been using the forum.

                            A multi-retailer online store is in the pipeline to tidy up all the sales going on via private messaging and email; for both retailer and customer benefit.

                            I appreciate that some of you are avid TapaTalk users. I'd like to see how many contributing members this may impact. Please email me at [email protected] and I'll keep a tally.

                            I hope that the above provides an insight into the reasoning behind the membership options.

                            Cheers,
                            Aaron

                              Wife will be happy ,as if paid membership will be the end for me, and i will have more time to annoy her. As there are other forums out there that we can gravitate to maybe not currently as good,but free, Hey we could all sell our Prados and buy a pajero or patrol and join their forums.
