After a couple yrs here I finally an-tied up for the membership.

I have always been an avid shooter and hunter; now I have added an addiction to reloading, black rifles, and humorous smart ass commentary with the occasional infusion of useful help in general discussion. I planned on getting into the reloading and AR's.....that's how I found the site....the "commentary" is a life skill... But to those that may be new to the site...or still on the fence about a new video game or AR15.com membership... If you think the site has helped you...then it is time to help the site. Without membership, the site can't function. Is this fact or just your opinion? I was under the impression they made quite a bit of money from advertisers. I say buy a membership and make the owners rich. |

I don't think because someone doesn't pay for an avatar that they have any less money to spend than someone who has an avatar.
This is just my opinion. I've seen people that make over $100k a year and aren't team members, and I'm sure there are people who are team members and are dead broke, like myself. This would be an interesting poll in the team member discussion. |

There is a difference between a gift and a favor. OP said he wasn't Santa, so it couldn't be a gift. It defaults to a favor.

While I am mainly busting chops here I will say this I don't know what you are calling "typically younger folks" but I work at a college and have a just turned 18 year old college age son the concept of poor college kids is a myth. My son worked all summer and has way more disposable income than his old man. You would be amazed at the buying power of these 18-25 year olds mom and dad not so much. |

It's people like you that actually keep people from becoming paying members. Even after getting a membership you're telling me I'm free to leave. wtf. Or do you have a problem with the owners of a great website actually becoming wealthy because of it? I don't. |

I'm not an entirely cheap bastard since I'm a member of NRA and NY rifle and pistol association. I do actually appreciate this site, gd is for goofing off sure but the rest of this site is great, plus I've met a lot of guys in the hometown forum that are pretty cool. |
