Thread Tracking !! NEW !!

Jump into discussions where you left off. ( Last Read Post ) There is no limit to the number of threads which will be managed and they are automatically purged when a discussion goes to the archives or when your account is downgraded.

You will most likely start seeing the in thread ads they started inserting some time back . I don think team members see those. I don't see them since I started blocking them.

i wouldn't belong to a club that would have me as a member.

What exactly do you lose when you give up your team membership?  It's just not financially feasible for me anymore so I won't be renewing this year.   I've purchased memberships over the past few years to support the site and I know you get extras with a membership but I never saw what they were.  I think I'm currently a bronze team member so what am I going to lose?  I can't imagine it's much, maybe a bigger search function?

Wanna spread your personal information across the world and become a target for every scumbag on earth? Join Facebook.

I'm not sure if I'll re-up or not.

well I don`t plan too...

i'ma thinkin i can outrun Brandi as long as she stays stabby.

My membership gets cheaper every day.  

Quoted:
Nope, not AWOL, just your normal everyday "everything sucks butt" vacation from reality.  I'm back now, sort of.  Anywho, yes, my membership is back to "member" status thanks to a surprise gift from another member.  Good news also is that my Email is no longer being bombarded with every new subject started.  Why or how I still do not know but the respite is also much appreciated.

As for getting stabbie or even stabby, I do have the urge to shiv someone but Hotdog is too fast.  I never knew a Hoverround had that kind of horsepower.  I need to get a motorcycle again, then I could catch up with him and get away fast too.
