those of you that are member's of bikejournal.. what do you think of the doubling of the fees?

i, for one (at this point in time) am glad i JUST reupped for me and hubby at $10.00! he hasn't added anything new at this time... and had doubled the fees.. with the promise of more benefits... (which means $40.00 a year for me and hubby!)

now i LOVE bikejournal.... i use it as a motivtion tool ("if i go X miles futher than i planned.. i can pass X!" or "if i don't ride today... X will pass me!" )

but as of late... it's been disheartening to see so many year end (last week or days) add bulk miles (because they could enter a raffle for their club.. didn't need to be premier.. didn't enter all year... just come on and entered oodles of miles ) or people joining 2 or 3 (or more) times (i.e. inCOGnito and inCOGnito1) so that they could count their miles for two clubs.. thus pushing everyone below them down the list (and neither is a premier member!) no telling how many others do this!)

so what are your thoughts?

if you are already a member.. will you re-up at $20? if you aren't a premier member.. will you pay?

again.. i LOVE bikejournal.. just would like to see a bigger difference bwtween paid and unpaid members (and i, personally, would like to see being a member of a bikejournal club be moved to the paid side!)
