[QUOTE="Smit-Dog, post: 505462, member: 25436"] [b]Re: Kids[/b] At least in my post, I was referring to the 14-18 year old crowd. Sure there are a few kids like tigger, but I think that the vast majority of "kids" posting/active here are the teenagers that could pay for a subscription if they really wanted to. There's always the gift option. Or spend an afternoon going door-to-door collecting returnables. We're all familar with the girl-scout / boy-scout / little league / soccer fund-raisers to help pay for uniforms. How do all these teens pay for their cell-phones, movie tickets, video games, etc.? Also, can you even register here if you are under 13? A lot sites don't let you if under 13. [b]Re: Trial Membership[/b] It took me more than a week to get hooked. I slowly got back into riding over a 6 month period. During that time I'd go weeks on end without visiting DRN. As I got closer to getting a bike, I spent more time online - about 95% just reading and learning. Needless to say I was amazed! I like the idea of a month free membership. Or free unlimited reading, but no posting. Or free for up to x number of posts (5?) per month. [b]Re: Subscription Fees[/b] Like most here, I also feel somewhat guilty with getting away with a $109 lifetime fee. I get way more value here compared to the AMA, and that's $39 per year, or $750 lifetime. I think that DRN lifetime fee needs to be more in-line with other clubs (but not $750!). Or is a lifetime deal really in the best long-term interests of DRN. Perhaps a yearly renewable fee of say $50 would be better for the overall cashflow of DRN. [b]Re: 3409 have posted since 9-1-2002[/b] Is that number of [u]distinct[/u] users that have posted, or 3,409 cummulative posts? If unique, I'm surprised/impressed. If there are that many unique members posting, then the upside potential for new subscribers is higher than I thought. All of this is a little hard to speculate without having access to analyze all the numbers like Okie does. What existing revenue streams offer the most potential? Advertising? DRN logo store? Subscriptions? DirtWeek? And I wouldn't feel like DRN doesn't need to earn a nice profit off things like DW. I imagine that it is a ton of work, coordination, and effort by a lot of good people, and it appears that it's getting more popular each year. Use the proceeds from DW to help support the DRN site throughout the rest of the year so that we don't have to worry about stuff like this as much. Finally, a big thank you Okie, the admins, mods, founding members, chapter coordinators, and everyone else that has helped grow this site into what it is today. You should be very proud of it and what you've accomplished! :thumb: [/QUOTE]
