Registering on Tractorpoint
I deleted dickweed from our membership as his profile was distasteful, and I don't care to edit profiles. If dickweed would like to register again and play nice with the rest of us he is welcome.

Registering on Tractorpoint
What I have discovered is that the vast majority of users of this site are unregistered visitors (Non Members).
This presents numerous problems, unregistered users demand site resources and rarely post value added content, that's just the way it is. Value added content can have the form of a question on tractor use, buying etc., or a response to such a question. In other words useful dialog, exchange, interaction ..... We have all seen the occasional visitor like dickweed who seeks to insult rather than consult.
Registration involves thinking up a Userid, and a password, and entering an email address, which we use for administration purposes only, and can be hidden from all TractorPoint members.
Registration allows me to track site usage and to offer subscription services like our "Premium Membership", a future optional subscription newsletter.
Not a big deal really.
Previously I allowed unregistered users to view message content up to 400 characters in length. Today I changed that policy.
As of today unregistered users can only see a "keyword abstract" of TractorPoint content up to 400 characters.
I would prefer to route unregistered users to a registration page instead but that presents other problems. Search engines are unregistered users and would bypass TractorPoint content if I did. But search engines "like" keywords so that is what has be left in the messages for unregistered users.
So if it is not too hard and you are unregistered, please take a moment to register.
In case anyone has the misconception that advertising reaps significant revenue, HELLO. Almost all forums are going to a membership subscription basis, I know its a switch and it may not feel right but I cannot operate the site without subscriptions.
Thanks to all that have upgraded to "premium" membership and because of our long term contributors TractorPoint is still a viable and great place to get information on Tractor purchases and use.
regards,
Dennis

It's worse than that Doc!
Dickweed wasn't sending TractorPoint any subscription fee.
Its amazing all the whining and hostility that was in his profile saying how awful it was for me to change the policy after he has been using the board for years, (probably copying content to another board) complaining about having to create a userid and a password, and that I was going to SPAM him.
Give me a break, anyone see a post before from dickweed....

It is ironic that many people have gotten thousands of dollars of value from the board by its advocacy on things like recalls, and getting better prices on equipment, learning from all of you how to fix and operate tractors. And yet ....
I have gotten emails from some that have said you know Dennis it is because of my years of using TractorPoint that I saved $4000 on my John Deere Tractor by getting them to repair it based on TractorPoint data......yatee yah!
And the same guy says you know Dennis you have huge "XhkjUs" to charge me $19.97 for a years subscription to TractorPoint! This is outrageous I'll take my business (what business) elsewhere.
And so it goes.......

Bye Bye,
Its really interesting that you are so UPSET! Were you really enjoying reading Tractorpoint so much as a voyeur?
You need to LISTEN or READ a bit more closely TractorPoint is not requiring`payment to read the board.
"Free Registration" is now required to read messages up to 400 characters. Premium membership is required for messages over 400 characters and includes other features like classifieds, notifications, Photo Album, and soon discounts at participating dealers
To reduce your stress you need to:
1)Pick a better userid than BYE BYE
2)Think up a password
Hmmmm ! that seems to be it
Tired yet... hmmmmh thought so... lets try some aerobic exercise. Yup!!! stop playing come on you can do it that a boy.

Chief, Ken,
All this ranting has created some improvement in my vision.
Guys who ride on tractors might need to lose some weight. Aha, That's it TractorPoint will begin marketing a weight loss program, we'll make a fortune, on me alone.
Hey maybe we should have a contest, with some sort of prize!
