Hi everyone... although I generally approve of the new V123 site, I did note that I could renew my pro status sub at any time for $290. Last time I paid it was $195. Whilst I don't mind some increase to pay for the new site, that does seem an excessive hike. I guess I'll get it back over the months, but isn't this a little greedy - or have I missed or misunderstood the point here?

Hi, Neil --
Yes, dues have increased without warning, I'm afraid. I guess the changes proved expensive. I do hope you will make it up through the work you get here. I was lucky enough to renew right before the hike!
Best,
Diane

Thanks Maxine.
I browsed the main headers of 'the pros' section to see if there was anything obvious about the rate hike, and only posted when I couldn't see anything pertinent. Seems like I was looking in the wrong section then. I'll have a deeper look when I get an evening to spare! Cheers anyway!

Hi Neil ~

I'd like to suggest that you spend an evening perusing the last six weeks of posts on this forum, (i.e., the posts that have appeared since Smartcast was implemented).

The changes to the Voice123 auditioning format, the rate increases and everything conceivable that has to do with your question has been EXHAUSTIVELY researched, commented on, discussed, argued about, revealed, and in every possible way exposed to the absolute Nth degree on these forums over the last month and a half.

No offense to your question, but do check out the forum for a while and spend a little time researching what's been going on. You'll have a much greater understanding of what's happening here if you do that, rather than waiting for people to respond in detail to your question posted above.

TalkBack is now gone-gone-gone.

Removing the TALKBACK thread was the result of a poll on the subject. Majority ruled that in the spirit of a fresh start we remove the black eye. There are still MANY other posts on the subject of SmartCast and the rate hike elsewhere.
