No need IMHO to make the trial period any longer. 30 days is plenty. I suggest promoting the hell out of the trial period. I know within the past 2-5 days there’s been two new Trial members posting in landscape, and they have been welcomed nicely by the members and encouraged to stick around. Both are good shooters and will be a benefit in NPN in the long run. More people need to be aware of the trial period though; post it often on FB, Instagram, Twitter, etc. How about offering incentives to current members for every referral that joins? I think Jim offered some type of small incentive ($10 bucks or something like that).

I feel we have all the votes and feedback we need to call this matter closed for the time being. Thank you all for the productive discussion.
No changes will be made at this time, the critique forums will remain private, discussions will stay open, and the 30 day trial now has no obligation, no credit card, no auto-renew.
I’ve given this a lot of thought, discussed with others, and I still feel this is the right way to go as I have from the beginning. The 30 day trial is adequate to give a full taste of what NPN is all about, while keeping the lurkers out that will only read all of the great information that is provided at NPN and never give back. I know there are exceptions to this, but the vast majority will never give back.
We will continue to think of ways to better promote NPN and the 30 day trial. More than anything, we need your help. Tell your friends how great NPN is, display your stickers proudly, etc. The referrals you all provide will be more powerful than anything we post on social media!
