Bibs Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I've changed 'LEF Supporter' to 'Full LEF Member' and reduced the annual fee to �20. Normal members are now 'Basic Accounts' and I've reduced their functionality further to encourage more people to become full members of the forum. I'm afraid that there's little in life for free so although the basic account is still free, you'll have to contribute if you wish to use the full facilities of LEF. http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/index.php?app=subscriptions If you are a Club Esprit member, LEF received half of your fee (it's split with LEW) so you don't have as many privileges as those with a Full LEF Membership but it's better than the free one! Please also note that as much as I love you all equally; Full Members and Club Esprit members will get priority of my time for email/PM/phone enquiries in that order. If your neither, please don't think I'm being rude if I don't get back to you. First thing most clubs ask when you ask them for help is for your membership number and as LEF is so busy now, I can't work full time sorting out your problems instead of doing my own job, certainly not for free anyway, it's unsustainable.

Bazza 907 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Bibs I seem to be a Club Esprit member. If I get less than I would being a Full LEF supporter do I need to change and if so should it be at my renewal in about 6 months time? Either way keep up the good work mate Bazza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Barrie, it's up to you to chose which membership package you'd like to take however it doesn't make any sense to change now when you've 6 months left on your current subscription. At renewal time, you can either become a full LEF member or remain a Club Esprit member, it's up to you where you would like your money to go. The agreement with LEW that we have is excellent and it helps LEF a great deal however when push comes to shove LEF members pay more to LEF so get more from LEF.

TAR Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Excuse my ignorance, but when I found this forum, I decided to join but only found LEW membership, which I duly joined. Is it obvious to anyone who is not familiar with the site to find the joining instructions for LEF? Come to think of it, I didn't realise that LEF and LEW were different!

Hi Tim You joined "Club Esprit" which is absolutely fine. That gives you access to both and the money is split equally. So you are fine and you have membership (not the extended membership for LEF only) but if you wish to use LEW then you have the right one. LEF is run by "The Lotus Forums" aka Mr Andy Betts or Bibs as we call him. LEW is run by Ian, aka Kato. Kato and Bibs made up a joint membership called Club Esprit for people who wanted to use both sites. Which is fine. But both sites are seperately run. Bibs has only just made the LEF supporter tag (green) into LEF Full Member tag. This doesn't give you LEW membership but 100% goes to LEF if thats all you intend to use.

Gold FFM mayevora Posted November 20, 2008 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) I think I'm only about half way through the 12 month period since I renued (LEF and LEW) Was a bit surprised having some of the benefits taken away 50% through the year, but I guess you have to draw the line somewhere with a start date (ie I could have had 11.75 months or just the 1 month since renewal) So have just paid Edited November 20, 2008 by mayesprit Quote Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk - that will teach us to keep mouth shut!

Gold FFM Sparky Posted November 21, 2008 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Oooh - I've gone green!

bluken@cmcmmi.com Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Bibs, I assume that by "going through the motions" and signing my life away, you have record of who has contributed. There was no place to add a name to the subscription. I have, however, already received a personal e-mail confirmation from the Forum confirming my subscription purchase. And above all, thanks again for your continued efforts! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
