Sure! How do we go about it? Should there be a membership to restrict posting and/or replying (try to limit SPAM or scammers)
Also, please send me a private message if you had a previous membership and what it was. I’m assuming most if not all joining this site were users on the previous site (I’ll have to take your word for it.) I’m creating security groups for the legacy users and thinking to use that for an interim access to the buy/sell page.
It should be free to respond. Only sellers should pay. Make sure there is a disclaimer about everything sold must be legal etc. Maybe like maks had it…36.00 a year. How many people would you need to cover your expenses?
Was it free to signup? What could you do or couldn’t with a free account? Was the only subscription the $36/yr?
Initially we could probably get away with 20 subscriptions @ $36/yr would cover the costs. As the site grows and we need more storage we could campaign for additional subscribers if we need to increase storage/RAM/CPUs.
How about this idea - users send me a private message attesting you previously were a selling subscriber (include your old username if different) and would commit to continue at $36/yr starting January 2025. I will add those users to a group called Legacy Sellers and they get immediate access to Buy/Sell page to post. Then I will have a better idea how many interested people we have if this will be feasible.
I was a former member myself. Free membership would allow us to reply, post and follow threads. Premiere membership was $36 / year and this would also allow you to post for sale items. Members were allowed to subscribe to annual membership at anytime and it would be fore 12 months. Accounts would revert back to basic free membership if they were not setup for recurring charges. I would be interested as well. This was the same username I had on NJGF1.0.
