[QUOTE="RockHopper, post: 3910712, member: 49099"] It made me feel kind of .....speshul! I got it by donating when I first joined up, because I thought, yeah... I'm gonna join this community, I'd better support it! Didn't even realize I was buying membership perks. (Which I've not used) I've purchased like 2 items since joining, donated a few, and sold absolutely nothing. I don't sell stuff on gun boards. I think I've used less than 50 PM's. So this weekend I got pm'd by what I assumed was a bot, telling me that my membership was about to expire, and I needed to fork over mulah right away. That rubbed me the wrong way, cause my "membership" to me, simply means I'm on the rolls, and I contribute to conversation, and perhaps throw some money towards other members who need to make some. I volunteer my time and effort to members on here who ask for help, and I've in turn been supported by others here when I needed "help". (Read that as emotional support, when I recently stopped drinking) Somebody please explain the deal to me. Am I off base? In my mind there is a big difference between a "supporter", and a "paying customer". What did I not take advantage of as a buying customer? Is it just sales ads? [/QUOTE]
