To me the whole thing is quite simple (.... maybe I am too naive to see it that way )
The whole forum should be free , except:
- The Watch repair and upgarde section
- The Expert area section
- The Trading Zone (the whole thing).
Browsing and posting (both intentions) for simple members (...dont know / cant tell about the dealers) should cost 5 USD a year - annual subscription only - for the whole lot (all of above three areas).
Assumptions and maths:
-----------------------------
3000 members approx.
Out of them 1000 decide to pay (let's face it, more of the members here, what are visiting more, is the trading zone).
Maths: 5.000 USD a year. Is that enough to maintain RWG ??? (that can't tell )
Do we have anybody here that canot afford to pay 5 USD a year ???
...... just an idea
