Lifetime Membership / Gift Membership

[Montana Jim]

Marc,

Lottsa folks are interested in lifetime memberships, any thoughts?

Also, I would like to buy a gift membership for someone... how can I do that anonymously?

 

[BuckleBoy]

if you buy a lifetime membership just make sure you don't get banned

 

[Cynangyl]

ah man! banned for life would suck! I will be good, I promise!! Actually Jim has a good point....many of us would like to have a lifetime membership considered and several have asked about buying gift charter memberships for other people. Would be cool if we could find out an answer! C'mon Marc....what ya say??

In that someone here on TNET was extremely kind to me by buying my Charter membership for me.......I agree with MJ and Cyn. But....I also agree with Buckleboy.........dang...did I say that LOL just kidding.....LOL He does make a good point in that it would really be bad to purchase a lifetime membership....and then get banned.

Aside from that point....I think it is a good idea. Something that would attract more paying membership....yet...not be too out-of-the-world expensive.

God Is Numb,

I would say $100. Nobody knows what this site will look like in five years--which is longer than the site's been up in the first place. I dunno. Do ya think that five times the $20 Charter fee is reasonable? Plus an extra ten bucks for Banning Insurance?

I also think that they should provide a "God Membership" for twice that per year. It would give you the power to delete up to 10 posts per year belonging to people that disagree with you. Whaddya think, Mel?

After everyone took aim, I'd be back to "newbie" posting status in no time.

ROFL......Buckles, we would have to make a special classification for you if we did that......"probie"....or "designated digger"...which would be lower than a "newbie".....LOL

Price-wise....hmmm...I'd be more inclined with $50......with the requirement to subscribe to W&E mag or something like that. That way we would be supporting not only the site/forum....but also a supporter.

I am also in favor of the Lifetime Membership/Gift Membership. What I would really like to see is another way other than Paypal to become a charter member. Maybe a money order, etc. Just my opinion.

Marc responded to me in anpother topic along these lines - he will not offer a lifetime membership, mostly because: "Who's lifetime?" The site might not be here in a week... or under new ownership... or who knows how long you'll live? It's not smart business for either party and I agree.

Now - the Gift membership is a different thing. He told me if you want to do that just send the paypal payment in with a note or PM or e-mail to Marc stating to whom it should be applied - and he will take care of it.

hmm Jim,

I thought I responded here! (but thanks for summing it up just right!... again, who's lifetime?) I would hate to short change anybody! Of course, if someone wants to give an annual Charter Membership to another member that's always welcome, just let me know!

Thanks!
Marc
