Has WF gone back to Free membership?

13 replies
Just today I posted a new thread and have clicked 3 times to report spam comments from 3 different users. All who signed up this month but have not got a Warrior Membership next to them.

Has WF stopped charging $10 to join? Or have I missed something

  • I hope they will not go back to free membership, it may increase the amount of spammer.

    When I joined Oct 2009, it cost $37 I think, now there are different forums requiring add'l funds to join. Never thought that joining the WF was free.

      The $37 was only for the War Room, not the general site membership which is now free (was $10 to join). I'm not sure why it went back to being a free forum, I can only speculate.

    It goes back and forth - they will charge for awhile - then they will stop - the spam comes back and they start charging again...

    It seems to go in cycles

    For example - when I joined in 2010 - basic membership was free - although I was quick to get the $37 War Room upgrade (which paid for itself a few minutes later, lol).

    But like Rod said - as to WHY - we can only speculate.

    Cheers,

      I never knew there WAS a charge for basic membership. Hmm. Might help I guess! Then again if there had been when I started, I would have walked away (since I literally had $10 to start with and that went to domain and hosting instead lol)

        Seems to be something that comes and goes, but I've noticed a lot more spam and a lot of other posts from people who may not be spammers but really don't know how to interact in a forum (asking questions that are easily searched on Google, etc).

    Yes.

    Which is a good thing. Because it means you are now blessed with my presence.

    Some cause-oriented hackers recently hacked one of my websites. So I researched what they're about and then donated a large sum of money to the entity they hate the most.

    The next time they hack one of my websites I'm going to donate DOUBLE.

    There's definitely a lot more spam since they went back to free membership again. They (the mods and admin) are the ones who have to deal with all that spam though so I guess it's up to them.

    Teens nowadays pay a flat out $50+ on different forums for membership, $37 or whatever the price was is not much at all to the average individual.

    If it was $10 for a signup, that's like half the price for a pizza.

    They have reverted back to a free membership now. So unfortunately that also lets the spam-bots in. I guess they will add the fee again when they get sick of spam.
