Rant time: Why you should support this forum

I've said it before - the price of a lifetime membership is much less than the time and $$ wasted without the knowledge gained here.
 
Now.. The random posts thread. I'll say that again too. It used to be just a random PHOTOS thread and then the title was changed to a random post thread. Just sayin. It's come a long way and has at a point in time got out of hand but .. Remember it was a MODERAYYYTOR who changed the title of this thread like 50 pages ago. :evil: :bacon: :cheers: :istillloveyouE&J:

As a "MODERAYYYTOR" you realize you just can't make everyone happy all the time. (Insert funny meme here)
 
This forum IS THE BEST forum I've been a part of regardless of the topic! I am a member of several different forums from Jeeps to hot rods to tools...etc. The community this one has and continues to foster is head and shoulders above the rest....easily. And I don't say that to pat my back, it was that way long before I was a member here and is why I continue to enjoy coming back everyday!

And just to add to what BW said at the beginning, here are some of the advantages of being a paid member:

I also belong to at least six forums and this one is by far the best. It's a pleasure when all the forum members are actually nice to each other and not bickering. I only wish a few more people would participate a little more. Also by being a lifetime member if you make a post you later regret you can still go back and edit it or delete it.
 
Agreed! This place is the best...but we all know that.

That said, even though many of us are lifetime members, if this place is in need please let us know so that we can step up.

20x I agree! Please do not hesitate to let us all know..... :thumbsup:
z :ZZZ:
 
No current issues aside from the general attrition that happens as memberships expire and some aren't renewed. Sometimes I get a stark reminder of what's out there when something like the email I posted came in that spurs me to think about this whole topic.

I got another one from Pirate 4x4 that had a link to the autoguide (completely worthless site, but the mother site for all the forums to which they try to drive traffic with useless clickbait) "gallery" of the top 15 Jeeps at SEMA. The majority of the builds they cited would get RIPPED APART on Pirate. Just goes to show they have zero interest in providing their "paid members" any usable/relevant content. :crazy:

I appreciate the comments, all.
 
Just bought a Lifetime membership tonight. I should have done it years ago.
 
Just bought the lifetime today too. Really great group here. Lots of knowledge, lots of cool builds, from restos to wilds!! Love it!! Thanks!!'


 
Been a member a looooong time, though more of a lurker now. Well worth supporting this site if you are into the '8's! You need to join the SOA too, IMHO, if you are not a current member! The annual get togethers are great fun and fellowship with some adult beverage drinking thrown in for good measure too!
 
I just re-upped my lifetime membership, and hope to do so annually.

I haven't really participated much, but that's really my own loss. Great group of people here and a wonderful site. I hope to participate more in the new year.

Happy holidays to everyone, God Bless.
