Paid Membership

Post by **mike** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 4:29 pm

I have finally finished the integration of the memberships for ORE into the site. Those that wish to support the site financially through membership can by following this link to the shop Offroad-Express Shop. You have two options, a general forum membership and an association-forum membership. You can pay by NZ Bank Transfer or Credit Card. When paying by bank transfer you will need to be manually activated.

The big benefits to members are still under development and will be made over the next month ( I only have so many hours in the day ). Some functionality will be lost to general users such as forum avatars, gallery uploads, members 4wds and classifieds, but all normal forum behavior will remain. The most important thing at the moment is for the site to purchase a rack mount server which allows the site to be moved into a proper hosting environment and the site to speed up again.

Bugger - you both beat me - damn I hate dial-up - took more than 10min!!!!!!!

Post by **mike** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 5:00 pm

yup surely, does. And would never have thought a welligton person would be second, behind the waikato. And someone was actually telling me that ORE was strongest in Canterbury :shock:

What do you get? well it helps pays Mike for his endless time and costs associated with hosting this forum, at the moment there are a few sponsers and the rest comes out of his fix the surf fund and his rent ....

The 4wd association membership is a big step, it means we can get access to places other "clubs" can.

I've just joined......
