Well, I have a whole new group of special friends, so neener-neener-neener 
I, too, was around a while back, but then never got around to subscribing when it became a paid service. (OK, I didn’t post all that often, but I was working two jobs and didn’t have time… mostly I just read at lunch, and posted occasionally.) It became a paid subscription thing just about the time I was going through a whole lot of BS and ended up taking a job with such a crappy salary I couldn’t justify spending fifteen bucks on something I didn’t absolutely need. It just happened that right around the time the marrow donation thread hit Threadspotting, I’m at a different crappy-paying job and my boss had been out a lot so I’d been getting a lot of OT even though we’re pretty slow right now. I had a question I wanted to ask about the topic, so I finally ponied up. And now I’m making sure I get my money’s worth…
Tell me about the virgins again. Do I have to pay in US dollars? :o
Yeah. More about that stuff.
And, what if I’m not at all into rituals but am heavily into virgins? Where do I fit in??
To be honest, I never stop myself from reading someone’s post or OP because of either their Member status or join date. We 99ers, we’re a scrappy breed but accepting of those of a lesser station than ourselves.
What??

I am so addicted to this place [del]I would gladly pay any price[/del] I didn’t mind paying to hang on. Paying half price is still a deal plus I get my pick of all the virgin gay dopers. Unfortunately, so far, none of the new ones have been virgins.

…blinks: There are so many of us!!!
…couldn’t afford to get back in second time around, Ice Wolf sponsored me back…thanks Icy! ( Actually, I couldn’t really get back in the first time around, so a whole buncha dopers offered to help me out then, too! Thanks all, and to my origiinal sponsor as well!)

I ‘lost’ my charter 'cause I couldn’t stand this place around election time and took a mental recess. I ponied up later on when things seemed to get back to normal. Then a whole new wave of excrement entered the ventilation device and I wanted my money back, but then things came back 'round again. I don’t care what your status is, unless you are annoying, I don’t look. If you are annoying and are a ‘guest’ I then discount what you are saying. Member vs. Charter Member, who cares?!
No one that I’m aware of, just mundane pointless sharing.
Us Charter Members deserve to be envied, for the sole reason that we paid less for our accounts than you did!
Another Charter Member-turned-Slacker Member checking in. I guess I don’t really miss it. I mean…it’s not like it really meant anything.
Hold on, I’ve got something in my eye…
I think that the whole thing is how the mods try to keep us down. if we are busy fighting amongst ourselves, we will never unite and rise up and take control of the world!
or something
You all should lobby the admin to create a special title for you guys - how 'bout ‘Lapsed Charter Member’? or [del]Charter[/del] Member?
<Nelson> Ha, Ha! </Nelson>

Anybody know where I cna get an add-on to my Firefox that only shows posts by Charter Members, I don’t want to be bothered with the riff-raff.
Well, whatdya know. I didn’t even notice the difference til I read this thread. So now I can proudly parade around my Charter Member status and pretend like I knew that all along. We’re sooo much more specialer than you mere members!
You need a copy of one of my favorite posters.
I lost mine because I had to wait until payday, which was the day after the cutoff. I got my “charter” back though because I whined.
Sneeches, anyone?
I “paid up within the initial 30-day registration period when pay-to-post was first implemented”? Go me!
Stupid '99ers.
Jealous Much dearie?
Elitist scum! I ignore all posts by charter members on the grounds that if they have been hanging round here for that long they can’t have a life and have no experience of the outside world.
