RCSB - can't answer warbird posts
Good morning, on RCSCALEBUILDER.COM, I see your warbird questions and at times I'd like to reply but I get join up and pay now message from this site so I'm not able to reply to your RCSB posts.
Anyway if I see your questions on RCU, and if I have something to offer, I'd love to contribute and be part of the discussion. cheers - ken

Regardless of what anyone thinks, it cost money to host and run these sites. RCU can focus on an advertising model as the site has such a wide audience of different aspects of the hobby there is enough of a base to lure a wide range of advertisers. RCSB has to use a subscription model because there just is not enough scale advertisers to support the site. So, to break it down to its simplest terms you either deal with ads, or a yearly subscription. The choice is entirely yours.:-)

$20 per year is nothing to most serious RC'ers...especially those that venture into scale or giants of any kind.
I've never seen a more helpful group of folks than those on RCSB.
It's all about scale, so it's not for everyone.
But if you're a scale enthusiast...the $20 investment is nothing...and it's a tremendously helpful community over there.

At first, I thought the same thing. What I came to realize is that I hated the ads MORE than it costing so little money to get so much in return. I did one year as a site supporter and the second year re-upped as a lifetime supporter.

If you enjoy scale r/c you should come check it out: http://www.rcscalebuilder.com
You can register for free and view all you like, but subscribing gets you way more than than $20.00 you spend on a yearly subscription. And certainly more than a magazine full of ads. :-)
Reading my post again you will see I was referencing that RCU as having ads model for revenue and RCSB as having a subscription model for revenue. I was not suggesting it was one or the other at RCSB,as you stated. I was saying that if you are on RCU your "cost" is seeing many ads on the page, while on RCSB you don't get covered up in ads but you pay a subscription. It was a choice between the two site not a choice on RCSB.
Regards,
Mike

I can't say enough positives about RCSB. It is a great site with a superb group of members who couldn't be more helpful. Additionally, when there are different viewpoints on advice or really any topic, there is simply good discussion without any of the rancor that you so often see on all the other sites. No drama, no drawn out arguments, no warning from a moderator, deleted posts, etc. I was a basic member for a year or so and then upped to a lifetime membership. Mega Kudos to Mike and all the members for having such a great site.

So you have chosen not to purchase a product because you do not think it is worth the asking price. I guess I don't see the problem or understand the point of the original post. I assume that you understand that there are real, and significant, costs associated with owning, operating, and maintaining a web site such as RCSB.

RCSB is well worth the modest fee needed for it to support itself. I have learned so much at all of the various forum web sites and at RCSB you get to see very unique projects being built by very talented people. The techniques and information there is second to none. I have been a supporter over there for a couple of years and couldn't be happier.
Not sure what this thread is about? Your sites seem to be a very complete list of links and info for P-51's and Spits. Lots of good info on them for sure. However, not signing up for as a supporter on any site where you wish to reach it's members is only limiting the potential exposure that is available to you. In this case, the supporter fee is less than a lunch and the upside is being able to reach those very people you are supporting with your own passion for 51's and Spits.
Sites, planes, hobbies in general cost money to maintain. I enjoy flying newbies on my own planes and don't expect anything in return. However, if they keep going and enjoy the hobby I would expect them to by their own plane

Photo Razor, or PIxresizer.
It takes me longer to download pics from my camera and name them than it does to resize them, which takes 30 seconds at most to do 10 or 50, whatever.
The thing I like about posts on RCSB is that they read SOOO much more like a book.
I did this, and here's a pic...and then I did this, and here's a pic.
All the other sites have a big dump of pics at the end of the post, that are NOT tied in to the story of the text.
