Bill B Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I hear mention of a 'Premium Membership' from time to time and I think the little red + signs in the online role indicate a premium member. What is it?? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 It's a way to voluntarily donate money to help cover the costs of running a site like this. This site does not have a constant stream of revenue to help Admin cover the costs of hosting and updating the site, basically most of the costs of ARC comes directly out of Admin's pocket. If there were to ever be any extra cash left over it would be used to improve the meetings, possibly helping to cover the costs of having guest speakers. They don't come and speak for free. By donating you will also receive a few extra perks like an expanded PM box and photo uploading. On the upper left of the Home page you'll see a line for "support ARC". It will lead you to this page, http://www.austinreefclub.com/index.php?ac...&CODE=index Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill B Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm glad I asked!! This is a great club. As they say it'd be a bargain at twice the price. I also have 'joined'. Thank you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill B Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yes when I have seen this is the past I first assumed it was just some clever avatar someone had designed for themselves. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
