A) You clearly want to publicly stand on your soap box for all to see, otherwise, you'd have followed your own advice and PMed me your comments rather than continuing the trend in this thread you stated you don't care for. B) Reading prior to asking questions is not asking too much of anyone here. Its SOP across the board and when people don't, they'll get reminded. ...and that includes you. C) Your suggestion of me to simply post "see page 9" would indicate that it is my job to direct those who choose to not read...which it is not. D) This "need" of yours to post the lengthy post in this forum, and in this thread is entirely hypocritical of your statement "Such a response very likely would have prevented the waste of time, energy and screen space . E) I answered Huggies question in my post. I gave him the info he was seeking, along with a suggestion to do his own reading. Don't like the suggestion? Tough shit. To Huggies, if you were truly offended/annoyed I apologize. I simply don't get offended at "internet stuff" and I may assume others feel as I do and wont be offended. I may get briefly irked, but thats about it. Again, I apologize and thanks for your service. TxLewis, thanks for the "check"....respectfully noted. Serbspaniard, there's a PM button. Useful for not continuing the clutter on threads you feel have been derailed. Look in to it....and lighten up. Sorry for the hi-jack. |

Well said. |
|
|
Please let me know if/when these become available again.
I've been around here for (what seems like) a lifetime but never stepped to the plate. Sincerely, Mike |
|
Sooooo...SHOT's over..........might be a good time to let a few more life memberships out of storage....
|
|
Maybe after the first of the month. <cough, cough /> |

I LOVE this place !! We can find something to fight about even in a discussion of Lifetime Memberships. 5sub |
|||||||||
|
Yep, it ended Sunday. smartass |
|
|
|
|
|
Omg really?? did i miss it again?? i knew some were gonna pop out after shot show.. but did i miss it again ???????? |
||
|
No, NOT "really" !! Don't believe we've heard anything regarding any new Lifetime membership releases. 5sub |
|||
|
Well its ok i just got myself a bronze membership and if the Lifetimes come back on i'll get one then!
|
|
Well ...... they still aren't for sale, but the price just got jacked 67% ($200). Maybe this is in anticipation of a batch release?
|
|
Damnit. what the hell, did an oil refinery blow up or something? Lifetime Membership, or helping CavArms.... Can't buy both at that price. And I was really really wanting to jump on a life membership. |

All-
A new batch of lifetime memberships were added to the store. Here's an attempt to answer some of the questions and comments that will inevitably come up. WTF?!?!? Why are they $500? Those that got in on the $300 memberships last year was a special because we needed to purchase hardware immediately. Obviously $300 is a bargain considering that it is a $100/yr membership; $500 is still a bargain... all of the funds go directly towards the support of the site, and this year has a number of new additions coming. I'm not paying $500 for something that was $300! No problem. What do I get for $500? For those that do choose to participate, the first obvious benefit is a lifetime platinum membership on the site. This is the same level membership that those who upgraded last year received. In addition, we will have a new forum, available only to lifetime members coming shortly. In addition, we reserve the right to add special perks to lifetime members along the way, so the full benefits of a lifetime membership are not yet known. What is the new Lifetime Member Forum? This new forum will allow lifetime members to have a little more say in the site. We may give them early access to new tools/functionality on the site, early access to special sales, and other such benefits through the forum, as well as solicit feedback and opinions about the site and development projects. Damn, I just paid my membership, now what? Anyone that has paid for their membership within 60 days of upgrading to a lifetime account can send us an email and we will refund you the original membership. How many memberships are available? We added 100 new lifetime memberships. Once these are gone, we do not anticipate any more in the future. We recognize that those that purchase a lifetime membership do so because they want to help the site. We in turn will do our best to make sure your investment is worthwhile for you, and as mentioned we will make certain perks available when/where we can. We appreciate all of those that pay for membership here, and all of that revenue goes towards improving the site. This year will be bringing more growth than perhaps all of the previous years combined in terms of new features, offerings, and functionality, and some of those projects are already starting to be deployed. There are many more coming, thanks to the support of all of our members, sponsors, advertisers, and dealers. |

Know what man? Perks or no perks from you guys, it was worth the $300.00. Actually it's worth much more. I sit here at my desk and read a lot - probably 4 hrs a day (not all 4 hrs at the desk - probably sit here 2 hrs a day). I get all my news from the web. I rarely turn on the TV. I'll leave ARFCOM open, and drop in every so often during my "desk stay." Thanks again for all you folks do. |
|
|
It took me about 2 seconds to say hell yes to $300 the first time I saw it avaiable.
$500 would have been the exact same reaction time. Thanks for letting 100 more in, 50-60 of the original guys who got the lifetime drive me nuts, we need more in the LIFETIME MEMBER FORUM!!!!!! TXL |
|
oops, make that 51-61, what with The Reaper joining in.
Seriously, is no one screening these people???!!!??? Good job Reaper!!!! TXL |
|
wish I could get one..........dang it.
anyone wanna buy some shirts??? |
|
Thank you, Thank you. Now I have that out of the way, I have to get my coworker to hook me up with his buddy FFL so I can get a CavArms lower, or two. unless I can order them now, and worry about the FFL stuff later. |
|
|
After going "all-in" for two Cav Arms lowers today, I could probably only afford to put a down payment on a Lifetime Membership right now.
That said, I'm going to file my taxes this week and (due to poor planning on my part) I should be getting some of my money back. Hopefully I can still get in on this while the gettin' is good..... Regardless, I don't begrudge any of you bastards who are able to get in on this. Even if one of you sorry mother fuckers happens to get the last one, right before I do. We're still all brothers-in-arms. |
|
I had to charge it on a credit card, and I'll have to pay for it later. No way in hell these will be around long. A LOT of people wanted in on it the last time. I'm sure they will charge it too. You might as well do it. Everyone else is. It will make you cool. |
|
|
Is that Forum up and running now? As usual, I miss everything...going to look. This freaking Board is so big, there's areas I don't even know exist. |
|
|
It took me two seconds to make up my mind last time. I don't post much, but i read this sight ALL the time!
|
|
GLAD I'm not one of those 50-60 guys !! 5sub |
|
|
I like this idea. Thank you!! |
|
|
I added the lifetime to cart, but why is it now calculating sales tax? I know its because I'm in NY.
But I just upgraded to Gold last week and no tax was added? Anybody? |
|
An "IGNORE" button that screens out posters' posts is starting to sound like a good idea.
Sarcasm, laced with a bit of truth. |
|
Thank you sir, much appreciated..I'm happy to now be part of it. |

Wow, here's the word from "the man" yet again! Quit bitchin' and make a decision! B2 IMHO, I "got in cheap" for a LIFETIME membership several months ago. Heck, my "AR15.com" membership had more than paid for itself before I bought into the "lifetime" thing. Hmm, if it makes you feel better, it's now fun to "give away" memberships.... I've done several! |
|
|
Damn,I could have swung $300,but with my truck slowly dying and having to get a new one I can't afford $500,as much as I think it's worth the money.
Is there an easy pay option like QVC ? Oh well. |
|
I'd buy one now except for the fact that I bought one last year. Plus that NRA life membership thing that I just got thanks to Texas_Infidel's thread... I'm set for life now!
|
|
I'll make sure to get the sales tax refunded on this for you. NYS is changing their laws to force vendors to collect sales tax on purchases, where in the past it was up to individuals to do so. (From 1992 Supreme Court decision.) With the change coming, we need to adjust how we handle tax and I totally forgot to remove tax on virtual purchases. |
|
|
I am in. Don't tell my Wife |
|
|
I'm in, bought one and thanks for offering these again. I can't say how much I've learned here, thanks for all the effort.
|
|
Store was updated to correct the issue with digital items being charged sales tax in NYS. Should be working properly now.
|
|
Awesome, thanks GB..... |

A lot of Team Members, such as myself, rarely venture out of the General discussion forum.
Is there a reason the lifetime option hasn't been mentioned there, or should it be left to the Team forum for a day or two first? |
|
I gotta find $500.00 somewhere. Maybe knock over a liquor store.....
|
|
I knew I should have suffered and paid the $300. Now I have $300, and the $500 is unpossible.
Shane |
|
The $300 I spent last fall was the best deal I have got in a long time and even at $500 it is one that is hard to beat.
|
|
Tried to buy one just now, and the store keeps hanging on me.
www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=3&t=681344 Sorry if I cross-posted this into the tech forum and sent an email to accounts@ar15 but I want to get in before they are all gone. |
|
Click HERE Click the "purchase" button. At the VERY top of the next screen, click "checkout Enter or verify your name/address/ Damn, after that step, I get an error message too. |
