As most of you know already, OSP has moved from a free forum hosting to a paid hosting service last November. With the transfer, our site has improved a lot in terms of functionality and the over-all look & feel. However, this also means that there are yearly hosting and maintenance fees that OSP has to pay to keep the site running.
Thus, starting the 1st of January 2011, OSP will charge an annual membership fee of P200 per member and is renewable every last month of the year. The proceeds of the membership fee will be used for the maintenance of the site as well as revolving funds for OSP events and gatherings.
The fee allows Registered members to continue to have one year full access of the forum, invitations to events, the new blog site, the Gallery and to other functions that will be available in the future. It also includes the official OSP decal which will feature different designs every year.
Non-registered members on the otherhand will still continue to have access to the forum but will be limited on some sections which include the following:
- Technical Section (browse topics only)
- Selling Area (browse topics only)
Payment for the registration fee will be collected during regular scheduled meets that will be announced at the forum. This is to encourage everyone to join us and meet the members personally. For members who are based outside Metro Manila, we will arrange for your membership through your car club. For those who don't belong to a car club or based abroad, we will make arrangements on a case-to-case basis.
Thank you very much and we expect your full support on this new concept. If you have questions, feel free to send a PM to the admin, to any of the forum moderators or by sending an email to admin@oldschoolpilipinas.org.
