RCG Plus Memberships Awarded
I've been on RCG for a long time. I think this is one of the best online communities on the planet. Since joining the team here at RCG, I've been given a great opportunity to reward our members and give away FREE 1-year Plus Membership upgrades!
That's right, I'm giving away 1-year Plus Memberships to users that we feel do a great job of promoting the hobby and supporting others. It's totally subjective and nothing personal if you weren't selected. For the next month or so I'll be posting the users I've selected here in my blog. Enjoy the free year of Plus Membership guys. This weeks rewarded users are: theimacman CyberJay RCSquale habitforming dragbikebam jackerbes ndfly700 papadwight Tom B 1956 jeb6684 Jack Crossfire bmiller |

If the goal is to reward helpful/supportive/positively-influential RCG users for their contributions, the wouldn't it make more sense to poll the general user base to find out who they'd like to "give back" to, rather than just tossing +Plus memberships at people... seemingly out of a hat, given the list you've got there?

I was "awarded" plus membership at the beginning of the program. At the time there was no mention of fees, only that it was a reward for being an active contributor. A few months later I requested my plus status be removed when I realized it was little more than a bait and switch program and a $4.95 per month fee was charged to those not so "awarded". In reality the freebie plus members are being used to glam up the program to make it appealing to those who will be charged.
At least now you're telling people up front they will be charged after one year. Azarr |

whatever the reasoning, i appreciate the gesture and will enjoy it for these next 12 months, and then fall back to basic membership without a care
the only feature that draws me in now is the special placement for classifieds, but I don't sell enough to justifly $5 a month just for that feature. so I'll enjoy it while it lasts ![]() |

Can existing Plus members get awarded memberships?
@habit~ as a plus member, I also do not care much for the highlighted ads as I also do not sell enough; however, the exponentially larger PM mailbox is worth every penny to me. I can go read old correspondence and questions I have had over the years. |
