A few weeks ago I joined the paid subscription portion of this site. The cost was only $36 for a year and joining was very easy. I used my credit card and it was done thru PayPal, but I didn't need to make a PayPal account. Along with getting access to the paid portion of this site you also get access to CVCX Online which is a nice little tool.

Anyway, I'm presently a paid subscriber to the Green Chip portion of BJ21 and have been for 18 years. The cost for green chip is quite a bit more at $80 a year ($79.95). However, for many years BJ21 has been the premier blackjack forum site. Recently it has changed ownership and it now has home made software that many members are displeased with. As a result, membership has dropped off and certainly posting has declined. I feel it is no longer the premier site it once was.

Now here is the bad news. In joining the paid portion of this site, I was really disappointed to find so little activity in the paid portion of the site. Most of the activity is before those portions became paid only. I was hoping for better. I am not trashing this site by any means. I am only hoping to make it better. I hope Norm does not delete this post for me telling it like it is.

Anyway, here is my request for Norm. On the main forum page at the bottom there is a section listing how many members there are. It would be nice if Norm would list how many paid subscribers there are and how many are active. It would give us a better feel of what to expect when we join the paid portion and that is my two cents.
