Im glad to see that this has sparked some interest. I think all the comments are going in a postive direction. Standard membership without dues sounds good. A fee for supporting members (perhaps with a few perks as enticement) sounds better. Lifetime membership (with extra perks as well) would certainly attract a few die hard fans of this Forum.
Also many thanks to the vendors and advertisers who help keep this Forum going.
Please keep the comments coming so that the moderators can see how we all feel about this.
