[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3910725, member: 34578"] I can see your point of view. But consider that it is the supporters that also help to contribute to financially maintaining the site as a whole. Does the owner make a profit? Probably (hopefully). But those $$ also go towards the monthly internet fees, site maintenance, upgrades when needed, etc... The perks are there as a kind of 'Thank you' for the support. One of the nice things is that it's not a requirement unless you want to post a bunch of items for sale and use it as your personal Armslist. But even then, you are allowed a small number of classified ads even without having to pay. My thought on it is this: If you enjoy the site, and want to help it to continue to exist, then be a Supporter and donate if you can, and if you can't afford it, that's understandable and no one here (well, very few anyway) will hold that against you. Don't let the renewal notice upset you. I personally appreciate that it lets me know when my 'subscription' is about to expire. And sometimes I can't afford to renew right away. But once I can, I feel the annual donation is a small cost for the huge value I get from this site and it's members. Full disclosure; I am not affiliated with the site or the owner in any way. I just enjoy the people here and having this active firearms forum in a world where so many of them are getting canceled or dying from inactivity. [/QUOTE]
