colorado5k, very interesting idea, I like it. Just wondering, since that post was about a year ago, can you share any information on the success you have had over the past year. Things you might liked to have done differently, things that worked well and didn't... and how many members you have on your forums and how many have purchased memberships.
And I don't know if you have found a way to handle the renewals, but there are membership type scripts out there that some of the merchant companies have that handle everything from signup, to password protected areas and renewals, all of it pretty fully automated from what I understand.
Thx.
