Dude65 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 This PM crap was a bad idea, I loved this place as it was. It's not that I can't pay the 5 bucks, I don't wanna pay another fee to another site to talk UT sports with my bretheren. But I guess someone has to pay Sean's salary. signed, Disappointed Horn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators bbdude Posted April 8, 2014 Administrators Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Well don't pay the 5 bucks - you can still post and correspond most of the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukus Alderman Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 You know you can still talk to everyone now, right? The only difference is that there are some premium threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators bbdude Posted April 8, 2014 Administrators Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 And Dude, even though you don't pay we still think you're pretty cool. That is all. SFlonghorngirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monarch Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 dude65, we get it my pal! however, we do not care upon whether the PM idea was genius or not. at this point, all that we care about.. is that you continue to patronize "hornsports" as your "longhorn nation" website of choice. we want you to stay with us!

Dude65 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I wanna be able to read everything as before. This place was member driven and should continue to be, my fear is that it wont be for long now that there is a fee attached. Thanks bbdude for thinking Dude is cool.

Sejjr Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm a little surprised this site has gone to the pay model at this point in time. Seems it would have been a better plan to wait a few more months, build a stronger base, and actually get some more activity and especially some more content before asking for payment. Best of luck to Horn Sports however. I hope the strategy pays off. Dude65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BevoBlake Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I just want to know where the guy that said "as long as I have anything to do with Horn Sports it will ALWAYS be free" went? Maybe he realized that the bill for this site would quickly escalate with the continued rapid growth this site has seen? Maybe he didn't think $5 per month was asking that much from people who claim to love the free product he's provided them for years? I really don't understand why people are still complaining. If you don't want to set aside $5 a month for all Horn Sports content, don't. You're still going to have access to a lot of information, discussion and rapport. You simply won't have access to the inside information and large column pieces. You know...the stuff that takes a ton of work, patience and sleepless nights to complete/acquire.

Moderator joeywa Posted April 8, 2014 Moderator Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 This site has had more meaningful upgrades in 6 months than other similar Longhorn sites have had in 13 years. This site does not have the backing of money bohemouths like ESPN, Yahoo, etc., and those upgrades cost money. For the most part, these upgrades have been paid for out of the pockets of this site's owners. I am not questioning anyone's financial ability or inability to pay $5/mo. Different circumstances for all, no doubt. I do, however, recognize that this is a business, if this business wants to have legitimate reporting from real people covering Longhorn sports, and not merely "insider" info from an anonymous "Friend of Bevo, (no offense FoB,)" there is a cost associated with that. For me, (again, for me only,) $5 is worth it and I've paid more for less. Enjoy the community here. If you can't pay, enjoy the free stuff and hopefully there will be enough banter here to keep you satisfied. Who knows? One day you may feel the need to open that wallet and splurge. We all hope so!
