      Let's get rid of the freeloaders!!

      instead of just limiting messages and testi's to 5 a day why not just give 'newbies' a limited time to try out the site? then once they've had their 'dime bag' of TF hit them with a credit card bill and a message telling them how many votes they have waiting for them to see if they really want to be a part of this great online community of ours!! :roll:

      i am sure that most of the members here can not afford to pay to be premium members or have better uses for their money. free members make up a majority of the membership to this site. so would you rather have just a few people that contribute to the site and maybe get to know or would you like more of a variety?

      i hope this isn't an elitist attitude you are displaying :roll:

      the ability to interact and use this site as a free member is one of the things that make this site great. the biggest obstacle to paying is not having a credit card, and don't say paypal because that requires a credit or or US bank account as well. finding enough cash would also be a problem for some. the site is working very well as it is and i don't think you would get very many more premium members by kicking people off after a trial period.. there would just be a way fewer people here. anyway don't think it is likely to happen.. the only thing i can't figure out is why no other sites have done the same thing..

      For Thailand residents I believe it is also possible to pay cash by ATM transfer. One can PM AdminTF about this option.
