I paid $5 to join a forum which I have access to about a 3rd of the boards of. Please reconsider your prices guys or at least let me have it cheaper lol. Just thought i'd give this as my feedback as reading the threads from the platinum and exclusive forums I can see what nice community this is but paying $300 to have access it for the sensible of folk is a bit much.

"I paid $5 ... blah blah". I think you are not even 18 year old and must live off your parents' $1 weekly allowance, so yes $300 must seem like a lot to you, but most Exclusive members (at least i hope so) are professionals, its not even what club members make in 24 hours from their web businesses.

Just stay on Namepros or wherever they accepted you, and come back next year after you grew up.

I agree with all the replies. It's worth it as a fact. Can't be discussed. Issue closed (for me at least).

Thank you, Olebean for the reply.. all what it told me was that I don't have enough credits, but it did not tell me, how much I needed or by howmuch, I was falling short.. just being curious.

Between dnforum and dnjournal I get 99% of what I need to know about the domain business.

I've been happy with my Platinum membership and plan to upgrade to Exclusive at some point for all the goodies.

Don't look at membership like a cost, look at it like an investment. Like most things in life, when you pay more you usually get more and better.

It's not what your pay for it that counts - it's how you use it.

Well worth every penny to a Pro Domainer.

_ o O ( When does DNF plan to add Exclusive VIP I wonder? )

**gdurni** · 11-22-2006, 02:09 AM

I am very content having just upgraded to Exclusive. I have yet to find another forum with such a reliable member base. The cost structure helps to rat out all the nonsense.

The OTC stock trader community could use more of this in my opinion...many forums plagued with crap

**Ashaw** · 11-27-2006, 01:31 AM

I'll offer a free upgrade to a platinum membership. If you are a golden member, and you are the first to post something along the lines of "I'll take it Ashaw" then it's yours.

firecubes, I'll have to exclude you on this offer. Although I love to help out people that could really use it, I feel that you should explore DNF a bit more, meet more people, make more then 5 posts and determine what DNF is worth to you before that time comes. On the outside DNF is just a forum, you have to dig a little deeper to find it's real value. When you do that, I'll be glad to upgrade you to a platinum membership.

Hi Ashaw!
Looks like nobody needs an upgrade ....
So I take it

PS.
"Free" is too expensive ...

**Ashaw** · 11-27-2006, 11:37 PM

Luke, if you were a gold member, I'd have already upgraded you. When did you upgrade yourself?

**Luke4u** · 11-28-2006, 04:26 AM

About two weeks ago... Now I'm looking forward to get my Exclusive...

Cheers

**allanh** · 11-28-2006, 06:15 AM

**mgstudent** · 11-29-2006, 02:42 PM

**allanh** · 11-30-2006, 01:44 AM

**mgstudent** · 12-04-2006, 04:01 AM

Tek suggest dnf$ upgrade values

**Ian** · 12-04-2006, 10:03 AM

I don't think it is expensive to upgrade oneself at the DNForum. The returns are great (at least i have witnessed this myself). You make good business contacts here.

**acegoet** · 12-04-2006, 08:07 PM

Still upgrading? if so, I will take it!

Thank you,
