Premium membership would be better, like including trip diaries, blog posts ,train tips etc only by the premium members and the website would be free to view by everyone, but if wanting to add content on the website, a premium subscription would be required. If all features are made premium then it would cause massive reduction in viewership.

My opinion:
Members like me just use this site for hobby. So money needs to be collected from members like me.
The money collected from members should be used for running the site and then some remuneration should be given to members who always update info like TT, CC etc... used by the visitors.
This encourages them to perform better and keep the site

updated. That's how the site grows and stays successful.
.
But the model used here is different.
.
Some money is generated from ads. And that is used for running the site.
The info updation is done on the basis of members who compete among themselves to update more and more, spending their time and putting efforts to gather info, so that they have more number of TLs.
So this competition helps the owner to keep his site updated at no cost.
Some money is spent on giving these TLMs T-Shirts or conducting conventions - only the last one was held for all unlike the previous ones held for admins only.
Yours truly had some part in that decision to invite all :)
.
This model has worked out well, because more new members keep joining and join this TL race even as some old members' interest wanes away.
.
Also money can be collected from those using this site to post their YT videos. They get a lot of views from using this platform.
Some even have special treatment like their channel and blog name is mentioned on the side of the main forum, giving greater visibility.

Travel SAFE

1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
