@FluffyPuppet : Legacy means one is around longer than expected. Can't buy years (or sell them, either, unfortunately)
It's the same as my old prepaid phone account (I can only text anyway) that came with the Nokia 595 I bought in the good old days of the "candy bar" phones and butt-dialing... But it's called a T-Mobile Legacy Account" with "gold status". Prepaid minutes don't expire for 1 year from date of purchase if not used up.
Everyone else required a reload every 90 days, otherwise whatever you don't use goes away.
Side Note: I successfully converted that account to my trusty spare smart phone, a perfectly good iPhone 7. (I am way too fucking cheap to buy the latest and greatest of anything)
Alas, I digress. So you cannot "earn" legacy member status.
But speaking for myself as one who has a legacy account-- you really aren't missing a hell of a lot.
The "Free" member level comes with most of this site's features.
To be honest I only use "Bond" -- rarely at that. If the "complimentary premium" went away I would hardly notice except there would be no more "star" beside my name on here as opposed to the "little person" icon for normal members.
