access to the board Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page

I am considering to restrict access to the board to basic members. Reason is to increase security by not letting non-members to view anything else but announcements. I don't want to do this to generate more income, so I thought I better ask the community before actually doing this.

Anyone posting here, who is NOT already a lifetime basic member of the main website bosart.eu and therefore would lose access? Anyone here who would prefer keeping this board open for all?

Are you saying we may have to have a paid membership to post in future? If that's the case I oppose. One of the joys of this board is the ability to interact with others with a similar interest much the same as I do on other groups. If you want to do something like Facebook does with its groups where you have to be approved by an administartor to join I can get behind that. But restricting access to the board and thus the group is not something I can support. It would be a shame to lose it.

Nope, not like that. in case everyone here is a basic bosArt member anyway (that lifelong membership you have if you ever bought something), only then I would restrict this board for exactly those basic members, using same aMember login used for the blog/shop with no extra payment. As I said, I do not intend to generate more cashflow with this. And I'll only do it if no one from the community complains. So, if you are against it, it's already history :-)

I understand where you are coming from. Like I said, if you do it like how Facebook groups do, with access granted only after an administrator grants it, that's just fine with me.
