its £12.50 for absolutely nothing valuable in return in all honesty

On the other hand, if everyone felt the same way there would be no site to post on

yes there would

paying to be a member seems to be a car forum phenomenom

im a member of many forums outside of cars and i dont need to pay for them?

For the avoidance of doubt i am not being personal here

I mean surely Corsasport is self funding without premium memberships?

Forums cost money to run.

Either the admins are generous (and foolish) enough to fund it out of their own pockets, they take donations, or they sell a product (ie. membership).

The site runs because of the donations/memberships, we own our own server and have it in colocation space in London. All of which costs money.

Everything that needs man-hours on CS/WR is unpaid, theres normally 4-5 people working all day on shows for example to make sure everything goes ok. Mods are obviously not paid and neither are organisers for regions.
