Before coming to the universal thread I did'nt know what a Most Valuable Professional was.
Now I'm beginning my second year here on the universal thread and I just read that MVP are not given free PUTM anymore.
I decided to pay for being a PUTM for this second year in a row because I think that the UT is a must for me. In my first year as a user I learned a lot of things after asking many questions. I know that those questions were not all answered by MVPs but many were.
I can't be thankful enough for all the help that I received here. I help as much as I can when possible but because I don't have the expertise with VFP that many here have I'm mostly here to receive help.
I just hope that making the MVPs pay to get PUTM will not make them leave this place.
If it was really necessary I would be ready to pay a little bit more to have PUTM so that MVPs would get PUTM for free.
After all MVPs are a big part in the success of the UT.
Who knows how many MVPs are going to be pi**ed off by the decision to make them pay to get PUTM.
So in the end if MVPs leave this place will I still have the same (precious) help that I received in the past. If I don't why would I still pay for PUTM.
I know that I'm not forced to pay for PUTM. I pay because to me the UT is worth it. And if that money can help make the UT a better place then I will be more than happy.
Long live to the UT and free PUTM to all MVPs.
