Old forum vs new forum

Based on my observations, almost all threads from all members are done on the Facebook group page. Some members review this web site for event updates as well as Jeep of the Month voting. You can also see you LSJC Reward Points. Also, it is easy to get to the club store along with club discounts. Social media is more commonplace today than when the club first started. We hope more members will use this channel as well as Facebook.

How much does the club spend monthly on a forum that doesn't get used?

This is a software package with the forum just one of the functions that is being used. Right now we are using Events, email notifications, calendar, loyalty rewards, paid members record ownership, LSJC store, links to bank account for payments. As we learn more on how to use all of the features that includes automation, they will be leveraged. The yearly WIX Core Premium Plan is $350.00 annually. Now compare that to the old forum 2023 annual fees of $610.07 that did not have half of the features we have today along with a cost increase for 2024. So, fiscally, moving to this new software is saving the club money as well as allowing us to automate many things. Hope this answers your question.

Also, the software package is WIX.
