Hasanyone had the problem of only being able to get on I-club about 1/4 of the time? I think that they need to upgrade their servers or bandwidth... Theyre getting too many hits.

I do from time to time, but I'm one to talk. My server is going to need a faster CPU and some more RAM pretty quick. And AT&T is sucking. I've been monitoring my traffic and about every five minutes or so I get MASSIVE disconnects. See picture below..

That's why they're going to start charging the vendors.joefocker20 said:
Next they'll have to start charging the users, and when that happens yours truely will stop going there.

They start charging me to go there, I stop going there, and never mention them again. Asking for donations is one thing, charging is something else.horatio102 said:Next they'll have to start charging the users, and when that happens yours truely will stop going there.

There are forums out there that charge for admission, and that's all fine and dandy.
But the i-club only really serves two purposes now. 1) info for local get-togethers and 2) mindless entertainment.
There was a time (a bit over a year ago) when there was a lot of meaningful information to be had. Either I know everything there is to know, or the amount of crap has skyrocketed.
My bet lays on the second one.
I can understand that it takes money to run the site - and I don't object to them charging a nominal fee for membership - it's just that I would choose not to pay.HondaH8er said:

Well shoot. $100/mo isn't much, unless you're a startup or a home business not cranking out much. But if you're like Larry, Cobb, Subaruparts.com, or one of the other larger vendors, $100 isn't even worth thinking about. Larry said he's selling 25 intakes a month (down from 50), which would EASILY pay for the $100/mo. Cobb sells intakes as fast as they can get them made, and I have a feeling that there is more profit in theirs.
For $100, you get access to quite possibly the largest targeted market in the world. You tell me where you can find more people interested in buying aftermarket products for Subarus.
