Those of us who were "charter members" are life members, I believe.
Lucky us!

We have yet to discuss this issue with go2net, but if you have been posting/contributing to the site, it's safe to assume that you are a lifetime member.

There is a significant basket of people that have been logging in for years without ever posting a message. I personally don't believe the group should be grandfathered, as the lifetime membership is intended to be classification for those who contribute content to the site on a regular basis.

Jonathan,

I fall into that category. Post occasionally, but read every night. I am very interested in what will happen. I believe that the advertising banners are inevitable. We'll see.
