    Didn't even think about registrations being closed when I commented on this earlier.

    @george I am also confused. We have new members despite the registration being closed? How come?

    Didn't notice this one. Now that I look at it, I see that there are a number of new members who have introduced themselves in the "introduce yourself" section in the past two months. Besides that, if I enter the p-v.club site without being logged-in I do not see the option to register, so how did they do it? It is really very confusing...

    That is because I have manually created a couple of accounts.

    Soon, I will open the registration again.
    I know that this means that leakers can also get in.
    But that also means that good members, that share and participate in group buys will be able to register.
    So, think of yourselves, before registering on the forum, and sharing and participating and making this place the great place that it is today. All of this would have not been possible if the registration was closed.
    And for the guests reading this post, it is only up to you to be a new sharing member, an inactive member or a leaker.

    It's a double edged sword, but I get it. On one hand new members bring potential, on the other hand they can also bring headaches.The vibe has seemed to be pretty chill around here lately so my hope is that a bunch of newbies will bring value and not drama and/or leaks. I guess there's only one way to find out.

    It's actually a LOT easier to make money by learning from material shared here and putting it to use in your local area - monetary or otherwise . . . ;)

    "For new users signing up, I think they should be forced to share something first — like stuff that's not even on the forum yet. Letting them get unlimited resources just by paying a tiny amount of cash is straight-up unfair. Only by setting strict conditions can we stop them from leaking stuff."

    "Or maybe we should add a new user group — like forcing newbies to get 100 or 200 'likes' before they can fully access all content. This would actually work to keep the leakers in check."

    "Otherwise, if we open up registration, all those banned leakers will just sign up again and keep stealing stuff. Then the forum won’t get any new content — it’ll just end up with more leaks."

    "And hitting 100 or 200 likes isn’t even that hard. We all know what quality posts look like — they can rack up likes fast. Nobody’s gonna fall for low-effort junk trying to cheat the system."

    Which we'll never get rid of
    Sounds like a good idea!

    "What’s the point of talking about it anymore? Even if we open registration again, those ‘thieves’ will just crawl back. Honestly, I don’t even care if people steal, but at least contribute something instead of just taking and giving nothing back. That’s straight-up bitch behavior, for real."

    "I get it – the forum needs new members paying for subscriptions to keep things running. But seriously, the second you share anything valuable, it gets snatched up immediately. What’s the point of contributing if people just grab it and ghost? Feels like we’re feeding vampires here. We need better safeguards or something."
