By that logic, you should be sending a check to Google or Facebook or even Twitter if you use it. Oh ya, be sure to send one to your local newspaper if you aren't buying the hardcopy anymore like most people, and just reading for free online. These arguments about supporting a site are BS. I use to own a forum that used probably 100 times the bandwidth of this one and I used that same argument to try to get membership dollars out of people. Truth is, just off the advertising dollars alone I would make about 20 times what it cost to host and run the site, even after taking a decent salary. Web hosting today is almost free. A site like this can be hosted on a dedicated server for less than $100 a month, and thats fully admined. Talking total monkey work to run something like this. If I see a real benefit of joining, I will join, but your argument is nothing more than uneducated bunk. But you aren't an internet professional like me, so I wouldn't expect you to know any better. Thank me later.
I understand how you feel. When my first membership expired, I felt similar and was slow to buy the lifetime, But what I found was just one of the many friends I have met through CRT is well worth the 100 bucks. Its an inexpensive club to be a part of. Maybe the VIP is a 'status symbol' ok.
