leffeboy - you're dead right but still too many posters who choose to ignore and not actively support Singletrack.
Starting threads, posting prolifically on current affairs topics (covid-19, kier starmer and brexit as examples), posting humorous quips or humble bragging about jet-setting lifestyles without making a financial contribution is free loading - just taking the piss.
Yes, I've said it before and will continue banging the drum; they know who they are.
without making a financial contribution is free loading – just taking the piss.
To be fair, many still support the site indirectly via advertising revenue. A subscription isn't mandatory to use the site.
A few of those openly boast about actively blocking ads though. Now, that is taking the piss.

Completely fails to understand how the internet works....
Their posts are the content people come to see. More content gets more views, more views get more ad views, more ad views generate more revenue.
You need to get off your high horse, the thin air is addling your brain.
Been a subscriber for a little while now and I'm not going anywhere if you lot at Singletrack towers aren't!
Keep up the good work, I always call by the forum on a daily basis and things would be worse without it and the mag 🙂
Just Subscribed. Sorry it took me so long....
No need to apologise - we are happy to have you now 🙂
Long time subscriber here, with no plans to cancel. Not now, not ever.
I've also just placed an order for one of those camo hoodies.
Keep up the good work all at STW Towers - you are helping to facilitate the sanity of a lot of people during these strange times.
Any chance we could have fewer ads (they're still ads if they're selling STW stuff)? There's a whole lotta scrolling going on.
That's very kind of you. I've given subs a nudge also.

Conversely, if it’s helpful, I would be happy to see adverts turned back on for subscribers (or at least this subscriber) until this is all over.
Unlikely, there's been glitches in the past where ads have displayed to [P] subscribers for like eight seconds and people react like the folk who were ringing 999 when KFC ran out of chicken.
I've re-emailed the request to subs, and also contacted despatch about my order, but I do get the impression that @stw.com does some aggressive spam filtering that means it doesn't arrive, or hits a spam folder.
Hi guys, read and subscribed.
Hope you have received the boost in numbers that you were hoping for.
Looking forward to that 1st copy to drop on my doormat:)
Just signed up.
Hello all 🙂
Took a while but finally got my act together and signed up
Cheers folks for the continuing work you do keeping this and the magazine going.
as a thank you for the tidal wave of 9 orders for bottles of beer I too have got myslef a 'P'
However , I also feel a box of beer shipped foc to stw towers is the right thing to do as well
Rob
Rob - only 9 orders for beer? Or a typo - so I'll assume 9 wasn't intended to be part of your post.
Oh, welcome to the P club.
Like your intention to ship a box to STW towers; good man!
[me]I'm back!
[everyone]Who?
[me]Never mind
I got myself a P \o/
That's right, Iceman
🙂
Been a long time lurker. Finally subscribed - @Mark - would be good to know how many others have subscribed as result of you appeal.
Andy
Just dropped a little something to cover the P+P on the merch you just sent out to me. I do look good in green
Thanks for the donations and subs.
Update for you is that since early March we've increased Premier members by around 500, which is incredible. If you've still not joined us then I can only encourage you to do so. The increase is certainly helping but we need more to ensure we offset the advertising losses, which are continuing to come each week.
I've gone for the digital sub since I've been banned from bringing more physical mags into the house.
Hope you keep your heads above water, best wishes to you all.
Hello friends. These are hard times for everyone. The really important thing right now is health and trying to keep jobs. I will keep my subscription and keep an eye on your news.
I hope that this whole situation will change the human perspective around the world.
Cheers from the Mediterranean Costa Blanca!
Molta força!
Been a subscriber fr a few years. Have ordered some beer, a bell and some artwork too.
Would be happy to have more ads for P people if that helped.
Appreciate the need to square the circle of lost revenue
I want to subscribe. Don't want not need paper copies as I'm in Germany.
Do I just go for the digital sub? Does it start from the moment I click buy?
Renewed!
Digital gets you instant access to all the issues in our magazine archive here on the site plus the latest issue published in our app.
Thanks for renewing @taylormade. 🙂
Have a digital sub. Will renew when it's time, but happy to make a donation keep the bus rolling smoothly. What's the best way to do that?
Bell and picture arrived today and the Beer before that. The Sligachan picture is beautiful and will be just the right colour match for the repainted living room which will swing it past the wife!
Bell fitted and will be great in the forest as seems to be a lot of people out walking still.
Beer obviously already started on, Mmmm is all I need to say.
Since you asked so nicely, I have subscribed.

I've been a member a fair time pre hack infact!! Just taken a digital subs, not a prolific poster but like to pop in now and again. Will look in the shop later today too. Keep up the good work 🙂
Subscribed for years, so donated instead.
All the best to you and your families and everyone else during these incredibly testing times.
TTFN
@Mark, my sub is up for renewal in July and I was thinking I'd go for a lifer sub once the next issue comes out to try and help out a bit; your comment about continuing weekly ad losses was a bit worrying.
Now obviously, my main concern is the fate of STW and you folks who make it the great thing that it is. That said, I quite like my testicles and I think if my wife found out I'd spent £350 on a magazine with no pages, she may take them from me. While I sleep. With something blunt. So if you could stick around, I'd really appreciate it.
Just kidding, she's awesome and I'm a very lucky bloke.
If it would be better if I upgraded this month, I can do that.
I hope you and all the gang are well and holding up okay and that STW keeps going for a long while yet.
Keep up the good work 🙂
Thanks so much Brakes...
It would probably be best to let your current sub expire and then upgrade. I 'think' it's simpler that way 🙂
Righto, will do
Sorry, that was in poor taste. I really do hope things work out well for you all, and STW.
By way of an apology, I've bunged an operatic monkey in the pot and ordered some beer. I'll upgrade next month.
Sorry, mixed my terms up there. I need a drink.
Long long time lurker - subscribed
Subscribed years ago, it lapsed never got round to re-subscribing, till now, always log in on a Friday to see fresh goods, so got off my arse and subscribed. really looking forward to seeing the issue 131 front cover. somewhere I have an issue 1, may have to dig it out for a nostalgic read!
