I suspect that many Speedmaster fans might resent being in the silver category 馃槈
Might start a few fights (or war) trying to determine the hierarchy.

Really impressive work, OF team. The seamlessness and clarity of this offering continues to reflect the general excellence of this forum's design. Proud to be able to support the site.

I cast a wretched glance upon other watch forums, turn away, and snuggle into the OF's cloud-like bosem.

I don't care about the ads but I do care about the well-being of my Forum.
It's been a companion, a hobby, a knowledge source and a meeting place where good friends gather for the last 8 years or so (for me).
It's definitely been invaluable during the pandemic.

Hats off to Trev and Ash!

I assume a membership brings in much more revenue than viewing ads?

As if on que, @Trev steps in with a single *like* of my post that brings further order to the universe:

That was easy. If there is going to be a Speedmaster and Seamaster tier- put me in the SNORKEL tier please.
When asked Beatles or Stones- I opt for Kinks.

Good metaphor, the underwire of my bride's bra even resembles inverted Omega symbols!

Bye bye EBay 馃榾)))))))
Actually, I found the eBay ads very appropriate- finally- as opposed to adult diapers (only appropriate for the pub crawl). I actually clicked on a few to see the listings.

Two questions @dsio

That鈥檚 AUD $ is it....?

Would me not subscribing potentially see revenue for the forum more that my $100 subscription for OF considering my frequency here....?
(If I can make more money for OF by not subscribing the ads don鈥檛 bother me)
This is a good question. How many pages must be viewed to make up $50? $100?

I think I view a lot of pages a year......

Does it have to be auto-renew? Can we not be sent an automatic message as the year end approaches and do a manual renewal? I know that it鈥檚 better for business to create purchase inertia, but when I disappear because suddenly my interest in vintage watches has been replaced by a desire to start breeding rare fungi, I鈥檓 going to want to use the money to support the i鉂わ笍Mushrooms forum and I鈥檒l have forgotten that I鈥檓 still funding you watch nerds.

I know I can put a note in my diary reminding me to stop the subscription, but, well frankly, I鈥檓 not very good at dealing with that sort of high level financial management.

Meanwhile, I鈥檓 more than happy to be a supporter.

if you click on the add free options page, you will see there are both auto renew and non-auto renew options for both subscription levels

I'd like to be in the Pocket Watch tier, but then I'd only be contributing about $4.50 CDN, and only 3 people would read my posts 馃槵

I thought it was only gift subscription that was one off. My bad.
