$25 for a whole year. that's about $0.06 cents a day. Sell something on Craigslist or ebay and pony up! $25 is not hard to raise. There's ALWAYS something you aren't using that can be sold on craigslist. Go through your old pots and pans, your garage, your old comforters, kids toys they outgrew, clothes, tools, anything. Bash away if you must, but it's the truth. And Hent puts a lot of money into this site out of his pocket and we never see him here asking for money to help pay his bandwidth. For those that TRULY cannot afford it, I'm sorry if I hit a nerve, but it's $25 dollars. Sell 5 items at $5 each and you're there.
This is not directed at all members, new and old alike, but there are lots of members that should have no problems with this judging from their bikes/collections, etc... that have not become supporting members.
