Idk if anyone has noticed this, but I lurked around there a little bit a year or so back. I was there recently and noticed that really the only way to access their "senior section" is to pay them money! Are u kidding? I have no problem donating to a forum I enjoy being a part of, but in this case it's flat out disgraceful in how it's being done.
The post count to reach Senior level is now 500 posts.. Five Hundred! Or for the low low cost of only $20-$100 you can gain instant access to the senior area instantly! Of course it's at different levels of access according to your level of "donation". Clearly it has nothing to do with protecting sources or members, just making money.
I have no problem with a yearly fee or a forum requesting actual donations to keep it up and running, IMO it's seems pretty fair. But to hide all but 2 or 3 select vendors and force members to pay to access other areas is a joke. I won't be part of a forum that makes me "pay to play"... Just my 2 cents.
