I dont understand why you don't make this gallery available to all visitors?

Would make reading experience so much better. Autoblog has the same now and I love it.

Nice. ASI have created the best looking non-factory F430 ever, even though it is a bit too low.

Since you guys (WCF) started talking about this WCF Pro, I've start visiting your site less and less and yes, Autoblog has this for free and their images load way faster than your Pro. Also, with CAR and Autoblog out there, who needs you guys?

It seems no matter how many times we explain it, WCF Pro offering gets misunderstood and Effington's reply is a perfect example. I can only blame ourselves for not making it clear enough.

In our eyes, the articles introducing WCF Pro were quite clear, but apparently people still are not comprehending what WCF Pro is offering. As a result, they're jumping to conclusions and making comments which are false. Again, it's our own fault for letting this happen.

WCF Pro does not restrict news (information) or photos. All news article and photos are available to all FOR FREE (as always). However, high resolution formula 1 photos which are copyright protected are reserved in high-resolution for WCF Pro members. However, they are still viewable in low resolution to all viewers.

Therefore, when you say "im not paying for information+photos that i can get for free over at other car sites!"

It shows that we didn't explain it well enough because, that's not WCF Pro is offering.

My apologies. We will fine tune the WCF Pro offering.

no thats fair enough brian. my worries are now in the demographic this WCF pro status could bring about. whereby pro members may think that because of the red text under their name they can lord it over everyone else... ie the whole 'noob!' phenomenon on many(if not every) forum site on the net. on these sites someone not 'known' cant make a simple observational comment without being slammed by all the others who think they pretty much own the place! lets hope this isnt the case here... any new policing of it?

Thanks for the support everyone. We appreciate the feedback. Some changes are on the way.

We've noticed autoblogs gallery is ad supported and certainly we can do the same. I guess you guys don't mind the ads after all, contrary to surveys and the explicit complaints we received over the years.

Also, Autoblog is an amazing site. With their team of 15 writers and backing by AOL, we feel privileged that you're putting WCF in the same league.

At the same time, we will continue to pour our hearts into WCF and hopefully give them some competition.

In the meantime, for those who just want to show their support for WCF in helping us take the fight to Autoblog, please feel free to become a WCF Pro member.

Many of you have already taken the plunge. And once again we thank you for your support!

I dont like Autobblog. 75 per cent of the stories they do are fluff and the other 25 per cent were coverd by WCF 2 days earlier. I bought WCf pro to give some support, and now I love it.
