Did they used to throw parades or mail you a midget when you signed up? I didn't even get a high five when I bought mine

But since I like Arfcom, I'll upgrade to a platinum to make up for your butthurtness.

You can take that extra $34 and buy a couple appletinis at the Man-Hole OP.

ETA: Just owning page was worth the thirty bucks. Look at my headband OP. LOOK AT IT!

I was gifted a membership once and I'm quite grateful for it.  However as much as I enjoy Arfcom and I've been here since the 1990's, I really didn't see any advantage to being a paid member.

Yea, no reason to support something that you enjoy and want to stay around. That'd be silly. That $2 a month will get you two Big Gulps at 7-11!

Thank God I'm not poor, and I don't have to give the cost of my Arfcom subscription a second thought.

$.065 per day.

$2 per month

Or about 4 or 5 Starbucks drinks a year.

These threads are always pointless. I guess they do give everyone a chance to use their who cares type memes.

My only gripe is the stuff you pay for here is free on just about every other forum I go to.

Avatar - free just signing up on other boards although some make you wait till after 50-100 post but your AV is how most people remember you.

Subscriptions - Also free with just signing up on most forums.

Green Arrow - Most have this two except it's not green or has a jump to last read post button

BOTD - I got google but BOTD is ok for seeing members wives and girlfriends.

Ads - most go away with just singing up but AdBlock just in case

IMO the above should be free just for creating account. Other boards I'm on that have a pay level that gets you into storage space, contest, dibs on special promos things along that line and I can understand that but the basic stuff is free to all members.

I still don't know why there isn't a decent multi quote option after the upgrade or an auto merge post if you post back to back post in a time frame.

Not my board not my rules though

Too bad.
Where the free users have ads, unless they use an adblocker - Paid Subscribers have nudes.
And if you upgrade from Bronze to Gold - the nudes are female.

I let mine lapse for the first time last year. I wasn't using it enough for renewing to be a priority. The ads didn't bother me and nobody gave me a hard time about not being a team member. (Think that only happens when non-team member is acting a fool ) Main advantage a membership gave me was the green "thread ID" icon to find threads I posted in and subscriptions. Had knee surgery last week and have about 3 months off so I seem to be gracing the board with my presence more regularly. In the spirit of maintaining zero population loss I ponied up and renewed last night when I learned of this tragic loss that was looming for the board. It will make my surfing during recuperation a bit smoother. Plus the team gets a definite upgrade trading me for Capt. Butthurt. Looking forward to getting the keys back for the Executive Restroom and my reserved parking spot back.

I was a paying member for years but the place changed. Couldn't justify paying after that. Still a non paying member though, too much fun not to be.
I was gifted a years membership once and I am very grateful for that.
I do miss the old rollicking forums before PC kicked in.

This is most of why I won't buy a membership. 

The features being offered aren't worth $24+, especially seeing as 95% of those features are free on other forums. I can think of a lot better ways to blow $24 than buying a membership here so I can have basic features other sites have offered for free for years.
