    Might start a few fights (or war) trying to determine the hierarchy.

    I'm not sure what tier means but I've paid $ 100 so I think it's all good. :D Thnx!

    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?

    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!

    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.

    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’s 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for business to create purchase inertia, but when I disappear because suddenly my interest in vintage watches has been replaced by a desire to start breeding rare fungi, I’m going to want to use the money to support the i❤️Mushrooms forum and I’ll have forgotten that I’m still funding you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’m not very good at dealing with that sort of high level financial management.

    Meanwhile, I’m 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 :oops:

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