Why do you care who pays?

The whole “Charter member” or not - I don’t care about. What I was focused on is that, in the future, membership itself would be free. Posters would be allowed to pay a fee in order to not see ads. and the one poster I named specifically stated that they’d want some designation to be apparent, so that other posters would know that “wring paid to not see ads, but Guin didn’t” and I want to know why on earth would anyone give a shit?

There’s any number of reasons some one would opt to pay to not see ads or opt to not pay and thus see ads. I don’t see why it would be anyone else’s business, nor do I understand why anyone else would care at all what the other persons choice is. a serious “what the fuck?”

There you go again, always putting your physical comfort above petty wrangling.

More to the point, will feminine persuasion be brought to bear on non-payers, and will it be worth my while?

I say we totally do away with the title distinctions and go back to the old system of Arrogant Elitist '99ers, the Awesome Gang who joined in 2000, and the rest of you unwashed masses. It worked fine for years.

Alternately, I vote for Free Rider and Adblock Impaired

I’ve changed my mind. After my experience with the board this afternoon, I agree with mhendo. If that’s what it takes to bring the board forward to the 1990s, then kill our Charter Member status.

Had I seen the thread before it was closed, I’d’ve suggested “Leech”.

Well hell, if we’re tossing the titles, why not toss the join dates and post count with them?

Oh, what a sacrifice for you. You’re so unselfish and giving.

:rolleyes:

Gosh Guin, try not to be so hard on him. You’re kind of far away but it sounds like you need a hug. Or maybe just a nice hot cup of coffee or coco. :wink:
