Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
We need the regular posters to step up and become charter members. This site cost a mere $.054 cents a day, that is 5 and 1/2 pennies a day....Even on my worst day of hunting I find more then that.....That is very little to pay to have access to the vast amount of knowledge that can either be read here, or available though some of the many knowledgeable TN members....

When you find something and you don't know what it is, or if it is old or real, where do you go to find out? You come here and ask. (old button, is this an artifact,
as example.)

If TN is sold there could and most likely will be major changes that will affect all of us, and the changes that come could be in very negative ways. There are other treasure websites, I have been to most of them, but none like TN in my personal opinion....

I personally thing Marc should move some of the features available to non Charter members to Charter membership. No post count available or visible till your a Charter member as example for starters.........It can continue to count as posts are made, just not visible till your a Charter member.

Make the cost of Charter Membership $2.50 a month or $20.00 a year, payable through Paypal or Credit Card...............

Not trying to step on anyone toes here, I just don't want to see major changes in the best Treasure Website on the net is all............

Mentalfloss,

Reading what some the charter member have to share (without the added attitute) is worth my $20. As soon as I figure out paypal I'll be sending it in.

Honestly I probably should have done this months ago.

You know thats what i was thinking. Sometimes when i am out in sector i will start talking to the guys about this site and i got two of my guys so instersted that one guy bought two ACE 250's last night and is going to be a member by the end of the day I guess being over here we have nothing better to do then day dream about all the riches we will find when we get back

MF,

Glad you have something to take your mind off the dangers there. Stay safe and thank you and your friends for your service.....
 

:icon_thumright:I'm with you 100% Treasure_Hunter!
This site is amazing and as Sandman said, just the Search Feature alone is worth the small price to pay to become a Charter Member.
(I was about to complain about individuals using a particular site repeatedly and not feeling the need to chip in a bit for the pleasure... but that just made me realize that I'd better look more closely at my own life: I need to fork over some money to SpyBot.. my "free" Malware protection site!)
Your heart was in the right place, T.H. - don't let the whiners get you down.
Ruth
P.S. And thanks for bring a bit of clarity to my day!

Ruth, thanks for your support as a Charter member and on this thread..
 

Evidently some people think the purpose of this site is to offer a free platform to spew bile and insult others. I think that if their posts get reported enough, they will get censured in some way. At least I hope they do. When someone is trying to get people to make a contribution, others can certainly disagree. However, it would be much more conducive to civilized behavior if they could learn to do so without being rude.
 

Purpose of this thread is simply to recruit more Charter Members to help support TN...........
 

I'm new here. Is this the way everybody on this forum talks to each other? Is this the way people who go detecting act? Maybe I should go somewhere else..

There is no need for anyone to insult anyone here. This thread is to recruit more Charter Members only...........
 

I repeat, "Purpose of this thread is simply to recruit more Charter Members to help support TN..........."
 

Purpose of this thread is to recruit more Charter Members to help support TN, not to insult any other members no matter who they are.
 

Beeman said:
Any Moderators watching this thread?

Beeman, my apologies earlier for not welcoming you to TN...... :hello:

Yes there are Moderators, but there are lots of boards and lots of threads so sometimes it takes awhile for someone to notice if there is a problem.

On the left side below your name you will see a hot link titled "REPORT POST Nominate For Banner" you use that link to report a member, a problem, or to vote for an item someone has posted as a find if you feel the find is worthy to be placed on the Banner at the top of the site...
 

I will look around some more, because this site was recommended to me. But I am getting in to this hobby for fun, not agitation. If the guy who keeps insulting people is typical of Treasure Net users, I think I'll find a different forum. Thanks anyway and I wish you luck on getting more charter members. I just wonder how many you will get with this kind of abuse happening.

I dont post alot on here but read alot Ive learned alot and dont have a problem with pitching in.
heres the problem I do have though(no its not the rude folks as Im quite grumpy myself :tongue3:)
marcs apparently talking to the folks who already have paid when he should be talking to the rest of us I have several questions here are a few
#1Why is the site in danger of being sold
#2will some cash solve this problem or just delay it?
#3how did this happen to begin with Lack of sponsorship? lack of moderators and other volunteer staff ect. ect.
#4 has any one looked into fundraisers? (auctions of donated finds, equip ect.) or a seeded hunt? Or?
 

my apologies If I Laundered this Thread Too Much,
Only Trying to Get it On Track Without Making it More confusing.

Good Golly something happened to all the nasty posts. :headbang:

Beeman, this sniping at fellow members is not tolerated here as much as it happens on other sites. I think of us as a family with the same interests. Sometimes someone goes off their meds or starts posting before having a cup of coffee and we need to over look some things---------till they go too far or often. An BTW, if I haven't welcomed you yet, consider yourself welcomed. :hello:

Ive been involved with other forums and have gotten out over all the sniping, brand bashing ect.
this forum (in my opinion) is the freindliest one out there
