Quoted: Awwwwww you guys are sweet. So, what changes when you're a team member? I gotta learn the ropes. Just above the link to the General Discussion is the Team Forum, you can now go in. You can change your avatar picture. You now have a link towards the top of your page called "My Active Topics" which has links to all topics that you have posted in lately that are active. VERY useful feature. Better search function. |

Quoted: I just want the improved search function. For [b]$20[/b] you can have it! Saves MUCH time looking for something you remember (and extremely useful in searching for advice on a handgun/rifle/fixing/sex/sports/etc). It also cuts WAY down on duplicate thread locks. You also get "Active Topics" and "My Active Topics", which lets you know which threads you have posted in, and keeps you up to date with what the latest posts are!!! (great to find out if somebody thought what you said was lame, or if a joke was funny, or if people are talking about you, or if you are a post whore, or if you are a thread killer, or....) You also get access to the Team Forum, where we gossip, have some BOTD stuff, and if you enter soon, will be entered in a special drawing for a Very Cool Thing! Any of the features above are Easily worth $20!!! You can also get a cool avatar, which is how I remember most people (and most people remember most others). For a bit more, you can be a Gold Member, where you get the nifty "@ar15.com" email address and photo server space (on a rock solid server)! A Bargain in my book, no more searching for a free photohost, you get an extra email (which is great to give to antis if they want to reach you, as well as 'impressive' on job applications you don't care much about). And you get a nifty Gold Bar above your name. Both of the above can be purchased for about the price of a day at the range (ammo, gas, targets, etc), some here could by several memberships for their 'day at range' costs (GunStock and BulletFest come to mind...). When you think about it, if you like the site, the question is why NOT become a member?? (do NOT answer that last question, it is beat to death). Plus, you get the sheer pride in not being called a freeloader. Disclaimer: Being a Team Member in NO WAY gives you ANY immunity from you being banned, your thread being locked, going to jail, etc. etc. If you have made it this long, you prolly might get the extra functions! |

Well darn, I am trying to find a place to snail mail the check and whom i make it out to but it must be dug in the archive! I looked around but only found paying by paypal in the ar15.com store. Can someone IM me the membership info to pay by check please? I would appreciate it. Congrats on the officialness. |

Quoted: Quoted: Damn, now you will have to replace the avatar with your pic so we can all see who we are typing to. Just temporarily of course.... I'm not so sure I should have posted my pic...

Quoted: Quoted: I did not know they let girls in the secret area.[:D] Yeah, if we get any more, they are going to want a BOTD of their own... [puke] Well, they can put Boy of the Day in the Women's Forum.... IIRC, the no BOTD only applies to GD (or is it site wide?)... Also, it's alot harder to come up with an 'offensive' or 'innapropriate' male picture (less that has to be covered)... |
