Well-known member
Same thing here!
Also active on different fora. Not all militaria related.
Lifetime member on two of the militaria fora, one for my " intelectual" ( !)contribution, the other for the financial ( I once gave*)contribution.
I am quiet active on the antiques market and very often need to find out what a item needs to be genuine and what it is worth.
Many sites (worthpoint, Drouot etc...) hold parts of that information and ask money to get it.
I never payed for information. Because if I would it would cost me quiet a lot....
And I trust I always got reasonable good information up to now, for what I get on fora.
A give an take experience. A fair exchange of info or/and help. Also made some nice acquaintances, that goes on in real live.
But I do understand the job and cost of a forum (I had one my self and have been moderating a other), so if you could tell me what the donation/ membership cost, would be to be part of this forum I would be glad to considering to stay or leave.
*the financial contribution I gave, didn't come from me exactly.
It was years ago on a militaria forum that a sponsor gave 3 prices during a contest. First price was a 500 euro voucher to spent at the sponsor shop.
I was second. And me and the winner decided to donate our gain to the forum. Don't how it exactly was finalized. But it made us lifetime menbers of that particular forum. :wink:
