Yes, for those who have asked, existing members up til the 12,000 mark have free membership for life. We've asked inactive members to come back and confirm they want their spot. If you've been here and active within the last 90 days you're all good

While I appreciate both the challenges of running sites like this and your need to charge, my membership isn't really free.

You cut off a conversation I was having with another free member who was in real need of help. My immediate thought was the same one I've had on other sites that do that. Free membership but with few freedoms unless you pay. That is the hook and it isn't about scammers. It's about money.

I get it I do. On your end, there is nothing free about running a business. Programmers, coders, your utility companies, all want to get paid. And rightly so.

Your timing just sucked big time and I am worried about that girl

Oh great creators of this website your decision to charge for this website is wise. keeping scammers at Bay . We all dislike scammers. They should be squashed like a bug under your high-heeled patent leather boot. To all scammers this I say may you live A miserable life your misery will follow you forever .

As you may have noticed this three year old+ statement is out of date as we've since developed two tiers of membership, including a free option. You can see the differences between membership levels here:
