Cycle Chat Account Upgrade (Advertisement Removal)

[Slick]

Ads instantly gone for me. 9 quid is worth supporting something I use almost daily and getting rid of the ads is just a bonus.

9 Squids a year..... a bargain

Some will think that way, but you are up against an ingrained culture that content on the internet should be free.

For me it's an absolute steal. The money I've saved in bargains & tips on CC is far more than £9 & the odd CC ride is a bonus too

I think I'm still banned from a couple of threads in news, can I sign up for £8.90 in recognition of the fact that I don't have full access?

Maybe if you have been a naughty boy & banned from some threads maybe you should have to pay £9.10

PS Thanks @Shaun could have lived with the ads, but I'd rather pay a few squid to help CC & not have them

Subscribed.

I use an adblocker so I don't see any ads or banners, but I'm happy to pay to support a forum that I use daily and that gives me a great amount of entertainment (nobbers and all ).

The thread linked to @Regulators flounce was worth the £9 on it's own. As was @Drago 's "comeback" thread.

My ambition is to one day, when I'm brave enough, venture into the News & Current Affairs section of the forum . But I'm not quite brave enough just yet.

I'm a Mod so I don't see ads either, but I still paid, for your same reasons.
Without CC I would never have met the folks of CC Ecosse, never would have dreamed of cycling the distances we did, never would have known how to commute on icy days.
And, of course, I would never have known about the many bikes, bike accessories, bike tools a girl simply must have

As said up thread, the tips and bargains have more than paid the suggested sum, so I have gone banner free.

Another subscription taken out at a decent price - I paid more than £9 for burger, chips and a couple of pints for lunch yesterday, and that's at Hungry Horse cheap prices.

I already renabled the ad-blocker, but happy to contribute to a site that costs me a lot of time, makes me spend inordinate amounts of money on N+1 and is populated by a bunch of weirdos. Worth every penny.

Bona fide news publishers struggle to get users to pay a subscription.

Were CycleChat to be put fully behind a pay wall the site would be dead within hours.

Facebook isn't daft, they are committed to the 'free at point of use' model.

If you aren’t paying for product , then you are the product.

75p a month seems good value ...

Subscribed, and the bonus was when I went to post I had £7.76 in my PayPal account I was completely unaware of.

Like finding a tenner down the cm of the sofa.

 

[Freds Dad]

Paid but I will miss the ads for Women's clothing and kids toys.

 

[TheDoctor]

Hmmm - £9 to Shaun's coke and hookers fund or 9 FB pies? Tricky one.

Nine quid won't get much in the way of coke and hookers.
Just about get you a dozen Greggs sausage rolls. Which would at least be (a bit) better for you!

 

[User6179]

If Shaun could add a Brexit blocker as well I would be willing to go to 900 quid !!!!!

 

[TheDoctor]

I'd match that!

Would that be the Stop-Brexit-happening blocker or the Talking-about-Brexit blocker?
