There are now many levels from $30 - $500 with non recurring charges.

The odd thing is - for Gold Star - one can elect to pay from $30 to $125 for a one year period with the same exact 'benefits' - Hmmmmmmm....

That is a nice range to get a Gold Star.

What I get from it is that all amounts are needed and are appreciated.

I understand that 'appreciated' part, but given all the advertisements how do you come up with the 'needed' part, other than to pay moderators?

I am just a member here just like you are. I have no inside info on this subject.

I gave you my opinion on this matter. Take it or leave it,I don't care.
I gave because I wanted to. Without a need of a detailed explanation of exactly why they want it and exactly what they are going to do with it.
Maybe I just have a thing for rotating gold stars.

If you don't want to give,don't. Pretty simple.

I would suggest you PM Brent,Jamo or CW if you require more insight in this matter.

BTW - I like your jokes in the Joke section.

392cobra - well, your posts here generally have insight attached so I was just checking to see what you knew that I didn't know. I'm a bottomline numbers guy.

Thanks for the positive feedback on the jokes thread. I've come to believe that in the end humor is one of the most important things in life, so a daily dose seems appropriate - when I can find it.

How did you come up with the idea that we are paid anything? Why would you say something like that?

Jamo,

The "Be A CC Contributor" page says this:

Thank you for considering the various different contribution methods at Club Cobra. While each provide more or otherwise enhanced features, the real purpose is to show support for the site and the moderators. The money will be utilized to support the monthly costs, long term expenses, and sharing with the moderator staff. We appreciate the support! As a contributor, you'll get an icon by your name in every post you make showing your contribution. Premier = Gold Star = Silver Star =

So I can understand how he might think this was a way of paying you. However, I'm sure both your time and Ron's time are worth a lot more than anything you might get out of the contributor funds. And that you are moderators purely out of a passion for the hobby.

Considering that "sharing with the moderator staff" is last on the list, I suspect that you, Ron and Brent will probably use that sometime to have a few beers.

I didn't state that you are currently paid anything, but here's some news that will make you happy next year.....

After all, an attorney working for free can get ugly at times - it's best to pay them. Have a nice new year.
