Could someone make a payment each year and support VF but do nothing else...of course! I don't know what the "minimum" level of those contributions are necessary. I can only assume Wendy receives that as she hasn't made a plea for more.

So I can't agree that a person is only a supporter if they pay....I appreciate everyone's contributions in any manner they choose.

I absolutely never said or even implied that the only way to support VF was to pay the suggested contributions. However, realistically it costs money to run a forum and I believe people that regularly use this forum should be okay with paying a $1.66 a month to share the costs since there are so many wonderful benefits to using this forum. I think that is only fair to Wendy.

Karla, I understand your viewpoint. I guess my concern is that I'm not sure everyone who participates can afford to pay. It's nice how people can participate and then once they feel ready (or able) they can increase their participation in a financial manner.

We haven't heard that the cost isn't being covered with contributions. (It would be nice to hear whether that cost is being fairly compensated as it stands with the current level of financial participation.) Totally different situation if we were to hear there is a shortfall for Wendy.

bee there are many, many VFers who make this place such a wonderful place to visit.

There are two other VF pages on Facebook:

~ VF Cupboard - for talking about diet and nutrition

~ Video Fitness Workout Fanatics - for discussions on working out from home.

Video Fitness Workout Fanatics was getting some traffic while there were lots of down times at VF.com. I just prefer the give and take here.

A lot of people do not like Facebook, but you can always join with an alias, keep your profile locked down tight and participate only in groups and follow instructors you like. I know of a few VF'ers who do just that.

VF Roost on tapatalk is a place sbh started for those who want to talk, or sell workouts. It is an option to sell workouts for folks who didn't use Facebook. Nutrition/diet could be discussed there as well.
