Opposed to an Amverb, which means a clumsily phrased idiom.
I like having Charter Member under my name. Just paid $ 7.99 for the right to keep it there. It does seem interesting to identify long-term participators in the board as Guests.
You got ripped off, bub. They only charged me $7.49!
Haha. Sucka! 
Yeah, well, I just reupped for $7.48!
Who’s the Sucka now!
I still can’t find my credit card otherwise I would have reupped.
Hello son
Damn. You should have posted in ATMB before now; previously, other members have been really good about paying with their PayPal, etc. in exchange for promise of reimbursement, promise of a donation to a favorite charity, promise of sexual favors (OK, I made that last one up), etc.
Dammit, I want my penny back! Wahhhh. I’m going to open a Pit Thread if Ed does not promptly PayPal me my penny! 
Mine was to expire next week. It was $7.45.
Gotta keep the “charter member”. Don’t want to look like a bum as do some users whose name begins with “Aes”…
Dammit, he hasn’t posted in the thread…and I can’t change it to “Twicks”.
Damn.
The New Adam? Can we call you Jesus?
Seriously, though, I think the post count could be turned on & that would be nice.
Nonono.
“Guest” for the first 37.75 days unpaid.
“Unpaid Member” thereafter, if still unpaid.
“Paid Member” once paid, until membership expires.
“Charter Member” for the old guard who’ve been paid since payment started, & former members of the SDSAB in good standing.
“SDSAB” for those actively contributing to Staff Reports (of which we need more).
“Moderator” & “Administrator” as now.
“Probable Bot” for those who register but never post.
“Best of the Worst” for Boyo Jim so I can mock him over it.
“Archaeological Artifact” for those who left before paid memberships & have never come back.
Would someone link me to a thread that explains what happened to the board while I’ve been bitching about new Star Trek movies and trying to prevent Twicks from taking my lunch money in unfair games of chance?
Well spit, I used to be a member (in fact before the board went to a pay-to-play model *).
Then I wandered off into the wilderness and now can’t remember my old login (might have been Scruff), and certainly whatever the email address was is long gone.
So I would like a title of “Ghost in the Shell”… I’ll even become a paid member once I figure out how to avoid the plague that is PayPal.
(*) I think it was about the time that a poster called Airman Doors, USAF was just heading off to Basic
Why not change Charter Member to Doddering Old Fool?
Because those of us who are doddering old fools might resemble that description?
:dubious:
I reupped a week ago, 'cause I’ve got a post count that’s worth flaunting. :eek:
At lest one vote that does not care about anyone’s (mine too) post count.
Well - in the South, a Damn Yankee is a Yankee who comes for a visit, and then stays.
So maybe . . . . Damn Guest???
You can’t “avoid” PayPal – it’s the only mechanism available. But you can pay using your credit card or your bank account. See detailed instructions here.
I will also merge up all your screen names into one. Please send me an email and let me know what name you’d like to keep.
I want no part of any club that would have you as a member.
