The link brought me right to the Club Cobra web site and the section saying contribute or lose the extra benefits etc. etc.. It's something Brent et al generated here.
It use to be that the trophies, stars and the like indicated people that repeatedly contributed to the site, not how much photo memory there was. If you're going to generate this type of nonsense, at least tone down the language. The best way, in my humble opinion, to generate revenue for the web site is to run another donation drive. It's always worked well and never generated threatening e-mails.
BTW this is the whole e-mail
