24.99 for BMX NEWS.com?

“A few days ago one of our “”Mods”" sent out an email to all the users of BMX News.com. And there are a few thousand of them. It read- “”Starting this October 1st, BMXnews will charge you guys a small fee of $24.99 (cheaper than Vintage) that will keep you idiots in check from bashing anything from Vintage to the ABA schedule. Please mail us your saver stamps, food stamps and or credit card info asap. All proceeds will go towards the Pro Purse at the next pro race of your choice”" Yes it was a joke but some of you didn’t think so! Read on to see what some of the reply emails said. GO”"”"please take me off the site then, i do not go to the site nor do i log in and havn’t in many months therefore i see no reason to pay for something i don’t use… myspace is free.. “” “”dang it! now i have to start saving again, i almost had enough cash for that new pad set too. oh well my wife and 8 kids can go without dinner for a couple more months. “” “” I am sorry hear you guys are chargeing. I guess you have to make a buck or two now days. I work in the industry and have to say, I think you guys are doing the BMX racing community a disfavor. I have been suggesting your site at work, telling people that are not even in BMX and want a good wed site just to check it out. Besides, it sounds like it all there is is a few “”locals”". Maybe if there were more to it like velonews or cyclingnews, witch are FREE, I could understand a charge. But I guess I am just disappointed. Well, farewell and goodluck on your changes.”" “”What do you mean by “”will keep you idiots in check”" ? Are you insinuating that “”I”" post on your board and bash??? Not very professional”" “”Is this for all member or new members only? Current members didnt have to pay the fees on vintage. It also was a one time charge for new sign ups i thought. Just wondering.”" “”Are you freakin serious?Vintage gonna charge fee? You too? I guess I will start visitng oldschoolbmx.com then.”" “”Hahahaha! Very Funny! Gorgeous G is paying mine he says!”" “”I’m good thanks! Vintage don’t charge me and I only posted once on your site like years ago! I’m done with BMX the scene is stoopit!”" “”as long as buddy dale homo makes a few extra $$$$’s ill pay in to it”" “”Robbie:if I need to paid I`m sorry.”" “”Could you please delete my account and member name from BMXnews.com.”" “”your joking?”" “”AWESOME!!! My CC is WAO2-0234″” “”Ummm what does this mean … Its not April is it???”" “”I’ll pass….”"”
