Che'_Moderator Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Looking at the idea of starting a premium section. Repairs and mods and all that good stuff would still be free. What would be in the premium section is more support. IE your tech questions get answered first by someone qualified, and you will have access to movies on repairs and modifications. Subscription would be something like 20 a year. The movie section would of course start out small but we would build it up as we did the picture repair lib. Again just spitballing.

Which I realize that some people are at work, anyhoo, It cost 35 bucks for a year membership, and a quarterly magazine. The magazine obviously isn't something that's going to happen, but I would support a paid subscription. Although, I think 20 bucks would be the highest that some people woud pay for..

Volvoman37 Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 i'd be in for this, but keep in mind, some of us are on extremely limited budgets for our cars. at least i am. with my 240, every penny was saved and ended up going towards repairs and making her go faster. im definatly all for a subscription thing, but how about the people who are already here that wanna get in, do so for a cheaper rate, like through january or february or something, then up the cost for the nooberts after that?like you said, just throwin out ideas -Brendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Franke Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 I'm all for it, but would that be using this site for profit and therefore not allowing it to use "Volvo" in it's address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 how about upping storage space for personal gallery's? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could they would. I get 300 a month for banner fees and Volvo/Ford is very awear of it. As for more storage space for members that is easy enough to do. Could even give you 5 meg mail boxes. So you can be crackmonkey@volvospeed.com if you so desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Franke Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 I thought a bunch of sites (VolvoWorld.com, VP Tuning, etc.) got C&D's for the site names. How is it that you are impervious? (Not arguing, just very, very curious as my mother is a judge and the law interests me.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che'_Moderator Posted December 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 i want to help in some way in your idea, how can i help?←Don't know. Have not done anything yet. If it happens I will need help though so I will keep you in mind for sure. As for the law and C&Ds other sites do not retain lawyers. I do. I know several good patent law types. You know the kind that cost 1000 an hour and defend 3M, Intel, Mitsubishi Chemical, ect. A nice letter to Volvo NA at the time back in 2000 took care of everything. As part of that I am not allowed to say that much. Kind of like my OEM tires on a brand new car that rubbed problem. It went away and I am not allowed to say much. Not that interesting either way.
