I appreciate your post but I'm not sure I get the point or what the issue is. For anyone that doesn't want to participate, they have an option to pay $29 for a premium membership and bypass this rule. That's for an entire year. Once again, $29 for a year, plus...no ads. This is a forum/community first and a downloads section second, free for members who participate. Without participation, it will go away. Due to facebook and large social networks taking up most of the online participation, we had to do something to stimulate activity. As it is, everyone joining is mostly posting mechanical help topics, which is great, but all the "sharing of activity", photos, and such, has mostly moved to facebook, instagram, etc.
Here are the options:
Participate in this community, use our community downloads and sections free.
Bypass the need to contribute by purchasing a premium membership and gain immediate access: https://www.quadcrazy.com/subscriptions
Buy a manual elsewhere, like emanuals for instance.
There should be no confusion about this. You can find 100s of other sites to go to. If there is someting of need, then its something of value. Join our community and participate or pay for a membership to bypass participation. 😁
This is exactly what we try and prevent, gaming the system...you can always purchase a $29 yearly membership to bypass posting: https://www.quadcrazy.com/subscriptions
