It's my fault, I let my membership expire.  How long does it take, after I've paid, to get the benefits?

Usually one weekend.

Why bother.  It's not as if ARF Staff gives a shit one way or another.  When my "BRONZE" membership expires I plan to let it be.

As far as posting pick, I can use free image hosting sites.  The "My Active Topics" and "My Topics" buttons are seldom if ever used and so what if I don't have an Avatar.

ARF Site Staff treat you with the same disdain regardless of whether you are paying for membership or not so like I said why bother.

I just joined, and it only took 3-4 days max.

They're pretty quick to take care of it.
