Hey all,
I'm the happy new owner of a 2018 Crimson colored Limited OB.
LOVE this ride. Makes me so happy to have made this decision based on:
Function
Safety
Durability
and
Comfort for both driver and passenger

So my hubby tells me all about this great site and forum...

What I can't find is information on the levels of membership.Free is free, but if I pay for annual or lifetime, what does that get me? Anyone know?

what does it get you?

lifetime : a little gold label under your name.

annul: a little silver label under your name.

and a faceless corporation some of your money,...for zero reason whatsoever.

I have been on for like 4.5 years now. never paid. :nerd:

It does get you ZERO adds and faster response. The little gold label. Although many do not share my view. I feel it was the best $40 I ever spent. I have been around for a while as well. I have utilized this sight for repair advice, a cottage business conduit and even some food therapy.

The gold label also gets you a little decal, which I never got.

Faceless corporation.

I had to pay to play on LGT, My investment over here has been more enjoyable over the years. It does take some effort to keep all fun.

I run free ad blockers,...can't use much of the internet without them.

(not just here).

although, I find a nice stupid nag screen popping up now on "jalopnik, ...yahoo, accuweather,... whining about ad blocking).

LGT.com is not a autoguide / vertical scope forum,

looks like something that the one person admin known as SBT, runs quaintly out of his home.

Or pesky, annoying "vendors" selling sh*t they cook up in their kitchen. Oh, wait ...

you are a little guy, selling a few craft things like at a community yard sale
barely making enough money to buy some frozen vegetables, to go next to your hot dogs.

NOT. Discount Tire Direct, subaru online parts = the dealer in Hicksville, NY,
stealth hitches...

..those are "vendors" on autoguide/verticalscope....and you should not define yourself as such, EVER.

Very true, in spite of my Bravado regarding mu stuff ... I'm not getting $$$.

I spend as much developing new products.

 

[Cortelli]

I don't think it gets you much of anything. I kicked in $40 because I spent a few weeks scouring this forum for info to help me make a purchase decision, and to prepare me with knowledge about potential issues should I make the purchase. Felt like I got well more than $40 value from it, so I kicked in (even though we all "kick in" in the forms of traffic / ad serving / etc.)

Eagleeye's point is a different view, but that's fine, too. As a frequent forum user, sometimes I kick-in voluntary amounts and sometimes I don't -- depends on the forum and the knowledge / services each provides.

+1. I use Ad Block Plus.

And, even though I was off forum for a while (had a 16 Forester), I came back with no loss of membership. Thanks.
