Thanks to everyone that has shared their thoughts and suggestions regarding the new membership policy that will take effect on June 1st.
Based on those suggestions, I am planning to implement one of two methods of trying out the site:
1) A 30-Day Free Trial period before someone is required to send money, or
2) A Money Back Guarantee where the person would pay up front but get a FULL refund during the first 30 days if they are not happy, or a pro-rated refund after the first 30 days.
Please cast your vote, and feel free to share your thoughts about the subject.
Thank you!

Adam, I personally think that if you try to offer someone a money back guarantee or a prorated refund you will be creating a headache for yourself. Disputes as to how long they were a part of the group or last date visited and the like. The 30 day idea is in my opinion an easier method to deal with.
My 2 cents.

I concur. Thirty days is plenty of time to decide if you like the site or not.

The 30 day free trial period sounds like a better idea than the money back. More trouble and possible small claims lawsuits. I am no interpreter of the law, but that is my worry of what may happen. Just my 2 cents. Also happy to support the club!

Adam,
as a fairly new member and one that doesn't use the site that much, all I can say is I will stick around and pay the money, I have gathered valuable info worth more than ten bucks in the short time I have been around, all that energy and time over ten bucks a year doesn't make sense to me. its a good site, and your time is better spent making it better, instead of silly guaranties.....thats my 2 cents as well.

Adam,
Even though I've only been a member for a short period, and don't get the chance to visit the site as often as I would like, I think that you're better off with the 30 day freebie. Refunding money can become a big pain. If a person can't make up their mind within 30 days then they never will. I plan to stick around, I can't think of a better way to spend $10.
