1. The books I would need to buy to to garner the info I've gleaned from these forums would be much more than the fee.
2. I've probably saved a boatload of money by getting advice, (buying/selling/inspecting, etc.), from fellow members here over the years that far outweigh the fee.
3. I've been exposed to some incredible music from artists I've never heard about until I've read about them here.
4. Even if all members were to chip in GAD and the moderators are still averaging $.03 per hour.

Which is why you get our $.02 worth so often :)

Since two of the mods are likely to be at any in person gathering in NJ, I am hoping GAD will use some of the income to treat us to Taylor Ham and pork roll. Perhaps there can be an A/B comparison? :)

Good on you, BC. Agreed on all counts above! Let's hope our support can allow GAD to continue to keep the site refreshed and available. As for moderator pay, well, I won't quit my day job. :D :D

Goldmember ;]

He's got the Midas touch but he touched it too much
Hey goldmember! Hey goldmember!
He's got a golden pad, he's super bad
Hey goldmember! hey goldmember!

It's "the" place to be, fun, info, camaraderie, all good clean fun without a lot of drama.

There's been so many times I start reading the news, and then I'm like "fudge this", and I click on LTG ;]

And then time has passed, lots of time, lol.

I guess I'm out of touch with reality again, but then again I have been most of my life sooooo. I'd never heard of the "Gold" thing. What's that all about?

Richard, GAD has introduced a membership level which will help pay for site maintenance. I can't find a post where he described it in detail except to the moderators. I'll transcribe that, below. Anyway, here's the link to follow.


From GAD:
[... some stuff about for sale section that still seems to be gestating...]

One of the other things I could conceivably do is add the ability to upload video since that seems to be a common ask. With enough regular paid membership I could up the server size. LTG currently takes up 32G of disk and the server is running at 80%, so it could use an upgrade.

wait where is this?

The serious answer is NJ.

Basically some friendships were formed at LMGs and meeting in NJ and including other LTG people has happened several times.
