"It's time to have a membership drive!"
In my opinion anybody that uses this web site regularaly should be a
Supporting Member. All non members are nothing more then FREELOADERS.
Lets all support our SSR web site & join today! Anyone who can afford a SSR can afford a $25.00 membership fee !
JOIN TODAY
For someone that wants to have a membership drive that sure is a funny way to kick it off dontcha think? Don't most people having membership drives start off by stating the features and benefits to Supporting Membership status. Then perhaps make a plea to keep the site going and growing may be even a little tiny scare tactic that if there aren't enough members it might go away. AT least that's how my local Jazz Radio Station does it.
WOW!!!! I have no idea how to respond to being called a freeloader.
As someone that hasn't even owned his SSR more than a month I would say that it is entirely possible that I will at some point join but seeing as I haven't even made my first SSR payment yet I think it takes a certain kind of individual to ask me to pay them first before my Truck. LOL I hope the irony doesn't escape us all there.
But on the same token since coming here the last few weeks I have been referred to now being a freeloader and segregated as a
NON supporting member to differentiate betwen Supporting Members and just plain ol' members. I think the distinction should be obvious.
I actually respectfully asked this question a couple weeks ago and still it seems that
Supporting Members (The Pit Crew) see and refer to others as
NON Supporting Members as such. While it is obviously accurate to differentiate the two this way is it the BEST way to refer to us as
NON Supporting Members. Or as I read it: 2 catagories
MEMBERS AND SUPPORTING MEMBERS.
I suppose I say this because all this time I thought I was a
Member of an online community of SSR owners. As opposed to a
Non Supporting Member of an online SSR community.
Would love to hear more about this from the Supporting Members. And I submit this as respectfully as possible and in advance I may have painted with a broad brush here but that is why I am asking for clarification since everyone here has a different take on things. IE: not trying to stir a pot.
Coz
P.S. and if I'm one of those trouble makers let me know so I don't waste my $25 only have Buffy kick me out :jester totally just kidding
