In these tough economic times we have to do everything possible to make our Full Membership option more attractive. If you read my recent "Trouble at mill" forum post at
http://gendersociety.com/[...]705242&, you will understand why. Many of our Basic members have said that they see no reason to upgrade to Full Membership because all the services they are interested in are already available free to Basic members.
In the meantime, we are struggling to survive and the people who use our services the most are not contributing a bean towards them.
I'm sorry, but desperate times require desperate measures. If we are to survive the recession we need to make some big changes and having a library of useful articles for our Full Members is just part of it. It would be great to be able to give everything away free, but if we did we would disappear very quickly.
Over the next few weeks, as we gradually introduce our new look site, we will also take the opportunity to restructure TW. The changes we make will mainly be improvements for our Full Members and we will be introducing many new and exciting features.
I know people don’t like change but we either have to make these changes or go under so your support during this difficult period will be much appreciated.
Thanks and hugs,
