Should I bother paying my VF subscription?

Vintage VFer · 05-31-23, 01:26 PM

My subscription comes due in a few days. Should I bother paying my subscription?

Is it helping? Things are getting worse around here (again). I'd hate for VF to disappear, but have no idea if my money is actually helping to keep it afloat?

Thoughts?

Well, I’ve given my thoughts, a couple of times, more than anyone wanted to read.

I don’t know if it’s actually keeping VF afloat, but I’d hate to think that it was and I was too cheap to support it when I’m fortunate enough to be able to afford the subscription.

I could actually vote!!

I pay every year because the forum is so helpful to me, warts and all.

I'm also concerned that not paying might cause me to get blocked from the forum, as has happened to others. It seems those situations are random, but very hard to get fixed.

Excellent point, Pat!

I love this forum so yes, I pay every year without fail to support it.

It would be helpful if we could get an automatic email when subscriptions are due. I don't even know how much they are anymore. Are they still $20?

I'll have to look up Wendys address and send some cash her way.

I have received emails in previous years. But not this year so far.

"Level 1" is $20 annually.

Click on the "My VF" section and scroll down to "Paid Subscriptions." You should find the info you need there.

So......

I decided to pay my subscription via PayPal.

Then, I checked my subscription page and it didn't update to June of 2024. It usually updates right away.

Sigh...

Having a picture helps me find my own posts for those check-ins where you have a single post going all month & update it with workouts done.
