A suggestion

[volcanohead]

First off, I would like to say how grateful I am to the MFCA and all of its members for this great forum. Everyone has provided information and support as I have entered the hobby. Without this site, I would have been clueless as far as tweaking, etc. and probably would have gotten frustrated and given up. However...

I realize that this issue has been debated before, and I realize the MFCA needs all the money it can get. But I've always found it strange that the tips section of the forums is off-limits to non-members. I would think this section of the forum would be one of the most vital in "educating the public" about MF. Yes, the $20 annual fee doesn't seem like a lot. But for the casual electric football player or curious passerby that finds this web site, it isn't a very good first impression when he sees a message saying he has to become a paying member in order to view the tips section, search the forums, etc. I know there has to be some incentive to become a member, but was just wondering why these specific limitations were implemented. Hope this doesn't offend anyone. Thanks.
