i think the time has come to make this site a members only site. To register and log on you should have enter your memebrship #number. I know this wouldn't be simple to do but surely you smart computer people could work something out and hopefully it will give people an incentive to buy a memebership.

That would be nearly impossible

You would have to include AFL members with Melb club support(like me), MFC members, MCC/MFC members.

Getting those numbers would be bordering on impossible

hardly think this forum is worth buying a membership for

ouch. i think anyone dedicated to sign up for a forum like this is probably already a member

I am going to start a poll about that

I am going to start a poll about that

would you be for or against it?

Demonland is a place where everyone and anyone came come to discuss Melbourne, even if they are not Melbourne supporters. We have some excellent contributers to this forum who barrack for other teams, and their opinions are more than welcomed around here.

While it would be nice if everyone who posts here was a member of the MFC, it is unfair for the site to show prejudice towards those who are unable or unwilling to purchase a membership, but are still keen to discuss the MFC.

If you want to show everyone that you're a member, you can include your membership number as part of your signature. Short of that, Demonland can do little more than simply urge everyone to support the club to the best of their financial/physical ability.

i say if you are that desperate to, you can put your membership number in your signature, but i don't see the point or purpose. Not only could people simply make it up, but it also does not make their opinions any more glorified than a non-member, nor does it even mean that they go to games

I am going to start a poll about that

I have a suggestion as to what you can use that poll for !!

Agree fully Jaded. Summed it up well.

probably the most stupid idea ever

No offence to anyone, but this site isn't good enough where people will say, "Wow...I better get a membership so I can post on Demonland."

lol sorry demonland

Although I can see where you're coming from, I can't say I agree with the proposal. As mentioned above, I think this would essentially be impossible to implement anyway.

I don't believe the idea was an attempt to get more members, but simply to restrict posts to those from paid-up supporters.
