[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 203939, member: 1061"] I'm just going to say it. Nikonians is crap. For a site that charges money for full forum access, you'd think they would at least have decent forum software. That's almost as much nonsense as Ken Rockwell's panhandling. Nikonians is definitely a for-profit community and while those membership dues do have some perks, they could get away with running promotions and giveaways without charging membership fees. Over half of the stuff that Nikonians makes you pay for are offered for free on other forums, including this one. Most of the rest of it is just fluff. I don't think a lot of you realize how expensive it truly is to run a forum like this. How much work it is to get up and running, how long it takes to build and see some positive returns, just so that you're not paying out of pocket each month to keep it online. Nikonians clearly can't do it. [/QUOTE]
