I have just tried to post a "Domain for Sale" thread and do not have access. I thought we were to have some time to consider the options before we were excluded. Have the shutters been brought down already - only Platinum members can post sales threads already?
 
Yep. It seems so. The guillotine has dropped. You have to pay $49.95 (I think it is - check the announcement for the exact figure) in order to post in the Domains for Sale section. At least this is my understanding of it.
 
Copied from the home page:

Advertising Forums
Platinum members are allowed to create one thread/day in the Advertising forums.
 
where is the signup for the platinum membership?
 
Hmm I'm not ready to decide on this issue yet, it's all happened too quickly for me. I havn't been here long but some of you will already know that my money has been good and I've spent several thousand $$$'s with you. However if I cannot sell then I will not buy.

Wow! Even though I have posted a thread here asking for your application as member (just in time before it charges), I didn't know that you are a big spender. Why don't you buy some of my names too? LOL! :laugh: :D

P.S. I am still deciding whether to pay or not. I definitely don't like it, but I won't rule that out now. But frankly, being shut out at this early stage doesn't make things better, at least for me.

I am well aware of that - no one said that the shutters were coming down straight away and I wanted to find out if it was me or if it had actually happened - you yourself said there would be "several months" for members to make decisions.
Was my $500 for your domain name also "whining" - ask all the others who have sold me their domains if I am "whining" - you might do well to demonstrate some respect.

If you don't want to buy any of my domain names, don't bid on them. If you think $50/year is to much, move on.
 
Good strategy there. Shows great respect for your members. Let e ask you something, if i pay $50 and a week later you change the rules and i happen to disagree with that, are you going to tell me to either eat it or get lost?

Sorry, m8, that is exactly why i am leaving. Good luck to you.
 
Perhaps its not too much, $50 a year.

I was surprised as well to wake-up to the new changes in-effect, I thought I would have a bit more time to decide or round up some money after hearing " several months", even a weeks notice would have been nice.

I found out about this yesturday, so I had like less then 24hrs. to pay-up or be locked out.

I'm not saying I'm against it, DNForum has helped me make a few bucks, but it did happen rather quick.

It is not a question of whether $50 is too much - you have no idea of my financial worth. I have been in business for over 25 years and I can tell you that you do not get and keep loyal customers by demonstrating that sort of attitude.
I am saying to you that I am taking my time to examine your options to see what I want - you are telling me that you can't be bothered to give me the time of day.
I don't suppose for a minute that you will take the slightest notice of anything I say but I would suggest that you re-consider your stance.
 
maybe just all those who voiced contrary opinions were locked out immediately. As I was able to access all threads this morning, but after my comments, I too was locked out.

Good going G....You're showing your true colors!
