Too expensive

3 hundred and odd dollars to post in all of the forums on a forum is waaay to much no matter how good the community and it's rep. Infact charging anything is a bit over the top. I mean okay 10-20 dollars to access all the forums seems reasonable to me. So why the expense when *********, namepros, web hosting talk and freewebspace are all free?

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.

Re: Too expensive

It's only $30 or $35 for platinum - if you can't afford that much you shouldn't be in this game.

Re: Too expensive

My financial earnings are substantial thanks to DNForum. The business relationships are also priceless. Only drawback, I don't sleep that much anymore :-D

Re: Too expensive

Aa friend once said about Las Vegas "you meet hotter women at Bellagio than you do at Circus Circus." But it does cost more to be there.

Re: Too expensive

Exclusive means that...so to be exclusive you must to pay a high price... that´s how the world works today.

Anyway, I think you could make a lot of business as Platinum also...don´t you?

Re: Too expensive

in the last few months i bought two domains from other forums and in both of th e names i was scammed. Luckily the deals were not worth more than 500$. So those forums already cost me 500$ bucks each, where as in dnforum, there are few people but quality people who are here to do business and not scam each other and run away with the money.
So for every dollar u spend here , u will get 10 times more if not 100 times.
hope it makes sense
Simon
