You would if you had been involved in the early days. Paid memberships allowed the forum to get the foundation to build the prominent firearms site. Quote HistoryQuoted:

If it goes up I won't renew. Pretty simple.
I enjoy the site, but there was life before Arfcom and it will continue after. |

Probably go without for a little bit, then get too annoyed at the lack of green arrows and reevaluate. Same as every year. :)

I’m pretty sure I’ve paid here almost since the beginning.
The place does seem different though. Might just be perception not sure. I don’t know where else I’d go though. |

When memberships were first offered here there was only 1 option, and that one was $60 a year.

. Point and laugh. But you never know... new owners might not honor old life memberships... "the old site is dead - long live the new site." If that happens, they’ll have to rely on advertising dollars. I’m not going to line Brownell’s pockets. There will be many new members who will, though, I’m sure. |

Never have paid for myself and never will.
Have been gifted a membership twice and felt it wasnt worth it. To clear the debt I felt I owed I bought memberships twice for others. Never knew if they felt it was worth it. |

Depends on how much more "jacks up the membership fee" turns out to be.
Unless my math is horrendously off at present a bronze level membership works out to an unreasonable seven cents per day. This is truly an outrage. I_AM_OUTRAGED!!!!!!
