Classic bait and switch. Having to pay for things that used to be free.


Way uncool.

All part of the new ownership. (And this outfit owns a lot of other message forums as well.)
Perhaps the "canary in the coalmine" that sagesove was going on about?

What are you paying for that was free? There was never an ad free experience unless you had an adblocker, one extra sub forum was added which wasn’t there before, which there were always sub forums that have come and gone.
Also, no one is forcing your to purchase anything.

Let's see, is there anything else we have to pay for that used to be free? Nothing comes to mind, unless you count:

Air for tires at a gas station
Radio (XM)
Television (if you want more than 3 channels)
Enroll a child in school
Sign a child up to play summer sports
bottle of water
Software on a new computer
etc.

I can see why you think that way. Information to human kind should be free and a choice. "Money" always gets in the way.

Such is life...............🤑😶

I didn't knock anyone. I don't feel forced.

I asked what I believe to be valid questions.

Plus it's marketing for VS. What experts? What makes them an expert? Just saying someone is an expert and someone should pony up $20 doesn't do much for me but if it was someone that I know of that gives great advice and runs or has run a successful company I might consider it.

Like, specify for us non-Premium Members, exactly who these experts are, Their credentials, and what type of paid-Premium advice they're dispensing.

I'm guessing (and that's all this is..) these experts are the people who would do a live chat room here on LS. Basically a thread in which its live and they answer questions.
They were called "Ask the Expert Q&A..." See example in link below.

This one was by Ken Hutcheson. Quote by MJD in the thread "Ken Hutcheson joined U.S. Lawns in 1995, nurturing the company into a multi-state franchise operation. Since becoming President in 2002, he has grown U.S. Lawns into the largest commercial grounds care franchise in the nation".

I would say yea he is an expert.

Why are you so interested in constantly defending these things? Are you the undercover boss of lawnsite?

Also

I own an inflator
I listen to free radio stations
I don't watch much tv and I certainly don't pay for extra channels.
I have paid for swimming lessons for the kids. ( I'll give you this one).
I drink tap water.
I havent touched my home computer in years and I put the least possible apps on my phone and certainly don't pay for them.

Whatever, it is what it is. Time to move on.

High class problems I tell ya.

Uh, no..... Just someone that "gets it".

Interesting, since you have 188 posts in 20 years.

 

[Brad]

Yes you are right. 188 here, 23,000 elsewhere.

Do you mean from your computer or a picture on the net that you want to copy and paste?

Above is from my computer, copied and pasted.

From the web, copied and pasted.

 

[Mark Oomkes]

My computer. The interweb works fine

It's been ongoing.
