Good input from all and it should be taken that way.....This is the best forum by far for scoots....The first one I joined I was put on two weeks vacation for using the word crap and I was talking a about aftermarket crap....That never happened here...My 2 cents....

To me, this place is like a cyber-biker-bar-parking lot. A place to exchange ideas, show our bikes, and get help with repairs.
Putting parking meters in a biker bar parking lot could seriously hurt business.

keep the patches and all the bling. why waste the money. It's the info from brother to brother that this forum was built on. If the $$$$$$$$$$$$ are what it is going to come down to then hopefully someone will start another forum.

this is exactly where I see this forum going... maybe not now... but slowly it will change... (I would have said evolve, but I don't see this type of change as a "evolution"...)
"new" forum features will only be available to paid members...
all of the info you get now will then be in the "members only" sections......
it's all about money folks!
please prove me wrong..... PLEASE!

I want to share something which we've been working on for the last several months. This is a new project, and we need some volunteers to help us test things out.
You've been hand selected by site staff, as someone who we'd be pleased to have as a volunteer for this project. Should you decide to accept, we'll offer you continued use of all features until the end of 2011.
We've put together come packages of site upgrades, and physical items, which we'll be adding to the site as forms of Premium Membership.
Nothing is being taken away from current members, and all new members will receive exactly the same features as they do today, I want to make that clear
We've created two tiers, 'Supporter' & 'Club Member', and each tier will carry an icon above each post that indicates their level of support. We've even made a moderator specific badge for all site staff. Check them each out here:
Both levels will receive additional forum features such as:
Panic Button: The Panic Button will be placed at the bottom right of every post on the site. Club Members can set a URL in their userCP on the options page, for it to automatically forward to if the boss shows up unexpectedly. (ie: google.com)
Radio & TV: This feature, for Club Members only is located in the middle of the navbar, will enable you to listen to your choice of radio, or TV station, right here on HDForums!
Keyword Alerts: This feature will allow Supporters to track any 1 keyword, so that they receive a notification via email, or PM each time it's mentioned on HDForums. Club Members will be able to track up to three keywords.
Post Thank You: This will allow Supporters & Club Members to offer thanks to other members who post a useful, or interesting post, without necessarily needing to make a reply. Thank you counts are tallied, and displayed under usernames.
Finally, we've got some physical stuff, that you can collect, and continue to add to. We're going to send out a site logo sticker to both Supporters & Club Members.
Club Members will also receive an embroidered site logo patch, and yearly chevron piece. The chevrons will be issued each year, offering an opportunity to display your support on an ongoing basis.
Here's a photo of a patch:
If you choose to help us by volunteering to test the program out, we’d like to offer you free access to the Club Member program for 2011. (And the stickers & patches, be sure to PM me with your home address). If you accept, we'll bump you into the Club Member group. This will automatically give you access to the features discussed. Your Club Member icon will appear beside your post count in each post you made. It is our hope that other members seeing the new icons, will be curious, and interested in how you got them. We'd like to use this opportunity to create a little buzz about the program before it launches. Feel free to share some of the new features that you have access to, and you can let on that it will be coming soon to everyone, or not, it's entirely up to you
I’m really excited to launch this program, I've had a lot of help from Terry & Patrick & Amanda along the way, so if you like it, I can't take all the credit, and if you hate it, it's all their ideas
cheers,
robb
DISCLAIMER: Big Admin has already contacted and brought onboard several "Chosen Ones" for this. I am not recruiting members nor am I a participant in this project. I just came by this info. soos
