Why I Won't Rejoin

[xlr8nflorida]

Mickey,

This is nothing new here. Years ago it was way worse:

1. The website was way outdated.
2. No newsletter was being produced.
3. Shirt designs were marginal at best.
4. No transparency of the board or accounting of financials / Missing funds
5. Resignation or firing of board members.
6. Favoritism/Banning or mob mentality if you spoke the truth.


What was done about it?


Nothing but deleted posts, censorship, private area for members to keep stuff secret. Excuses for non- performance, at least the person ran for office yada yada.

Fast forward to today, very few of the original members, many of who were the most knowledgeable and provided the most articles. Many years with no newsletters after Dwight quit.

Now look at current day, the website is still way outdated and never updated. However, the guy who does the newsletters has done an incredible job and the new shirts look good.

So I guess some owners stepped up and things got addressed.

In the meantime, you lost a ton of good members yet you send an email to come back every year, we are missed. Many of these members were the most knowledgeable and have the majority of inventory of parts. Perhaps, a formal apology would get members to come back or a free year to see if the club is still dysfunctional. I'm not paying $4, $40, or $400 to an organization that runs like Father's day in the Bronx.

The funny thing is its $40 which is a peanuts yet many including myself choose not to rejoin.

You have to ask yourself why do you think that is?
