the ads are removed, otherwise, you just feel nice inside knowing that you contributed money to keep this site operation and enjoyable for all..

Never knew there was such a thing. They should consider advertising this.

I suggest pop-up ads

The satisfaction is the biggest part. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Blasphemy!! How about pop-up ads, but only for you.

Ehh..It comes up often enough in the forums. Of course you could always help spread the word....

A private forum? Like a secret society of sorts? What goes on there!??!?!

 

[bigrell486]

So whats in the private forum that those who pay the $25 get access to?

Let's just say it's worth it

 

[bigrell486]

Let's just say it's worth it

I don't want to say that it's worth it, I want to see that it's worth it, or at least read it or something. May we have an example as to what lies on the other side.

May we have an example as to what lies on the other side.

Sure. Just pay up first.

Whats the refund policy on this "premium" membership.

Whats the refund policy on this "premium" membership.

Dunno. No one's ever wanted one.

It's really not that big of a deal.. you've been registered since July so give it some more time... Stick around, see if you like MR, see if you think it's a site worth contributing to. Then decide. No need to rush in and do something if you don't feel ready...

 

[bigrell486]

I wasn't serious with the return policy. And as for liking the site, I do. I came over here from Think Secret and I began to wonder all thats included for the $25 thats all. I mean the ads that are here are unintrusive or obstructive, I was just curious as to the extras like if it included real-time chat for the subscrivers seeing as though all the topics seem to be covered in the public forums.

Man, I really feel attacked with all the direct Moderater responses and the god this and goddess that.

HILARIOUS! that made me laugh so hard, the "Stone Cutters" episode
