The only forums you need to be a member to use is Members area and For Sale

EVERYTHING ELSE IS FREE

Yes perhaps, however it does allow just anyone to register and sell which has caused problems in the past . Also it will stop unauthorised traders using the site.

Its something we are trying out

If it doesn't work then we will review

But to refer you to your heading SIDC GETTING GREEDY its a little unfair

its an opinion nothin else!! i have been a user on sidc for a few years,thought it was and still is a great site,was going to be getting membership very soon,but in my eyes triing bullying tactics like that(maybe not appropriate words) are wrong.
would it not be better to review the registration process from the start.

Thanks and we will always listen to opinions
As I said we will trial out the Member only bit and if it doesn't work then we will amend it
No bullying honest
Now I will get told off by Simon soon so if you wish to continue this debate please feel free to do so ....................but not here

ScoobyNet and the SIDC forums are both great sites. I`m a fully paid up member of the SIDC and as for you calling them greedy, I don`t think so. With the discounts you can get being a member with insurance, Subaru Dealers and various other online shops, I probably owe them money!!! As well as track days, meets and troll free banter on the forum you can`t lose.

Why not just put any additional cost onto the members annual subscription?
