this is not intended to rile any one but just a thought, brought up by another member yesterday.
this forum is already a co op of Ideas, and education. should or could it be extended into a co op of action ?
I started from 0, and I mean 0, no transportation, no $ nothing, and with what I have learned on this forum, and just what I found lying around on my property now have my head above water for the first time in several years, and it has taken only a few months.
I credit that to this forum and its members along with my own stubborn refusal to just give up.
I am joining the scrap room, because for the first time I can afford to do so. However I am still just small time like many others here. Because of that there are oppertunitys out there I cant take advantage of. opertunities that some members in close proximity could, as a co op. the benifit would cover the gambit from the $1000 buy to the $100,000 buy.
I fully understand the need of the forum to support it self, a forum of this type is not free or cheep to build or maintain. on the other side of the coin there are members here who are in the position I was in financially just a short time ago, so here are the questions.
Is a co op section or thread of interest and benifit to members of the forum.
should it be included in the scrap room section, as a paid membership benifit.
should it be a seperate section either free or paid with a smaller fee to afford small members access. ( obviously we all like Free but we have to be realistic here.)
with all of that said I fully realise this forum is not a democracy, and the ultimate choice is that if the administrators and the owners of the forum I am not trying to stir the pot here, I truley believe this could be a big boost for the forum as a whole. It would not be a buy or sell section, but simply an opertunity to share success.
