FAQ

Why Upgrade?
We are doing a Feb 2021 supporting member giveaway. We are giving away an Orange Crush 20RT Combo Amp. All supporting members are entered. Silver gets 1 entry. Gold - 2 entries. Platinum 5 entries. Double Platinum 10 entries. More info here https://www.mylespaul.com/threads/win-an-orange-crush-20rt-supporting-member-giveaway.451591/

Upgrading supports the site's operation.

All supporting memberships are ad free.

Supporting members get 1 gig of storage in the media gallery.

What if I don't want to Upgrade? Will I miss out or will my account be limited? Are there Private Areas?
No. You'll have the same access to all the forums and the same abilities to post, view and reply as all members. You will have the same Conversation (aka PM) storage. This is not a hierarchy type supporting membership. The only thing that a supporting membership does is what you see above. Which is removing ads, donating, participating in a fundraising giveaway, and getting storage in the media gallery.

Why Upgrade to Gold, Platinum or Double Platinum? They don't seem to have better features than Silver
The only reason to upgrade to the higher tiers is if you'd like to donate more or you'd like more entries in the giveaway.

You know what I always say to opportunities like this?

So you go out with your buddies to a brew pub. You easily drop 50 bucks. No big deal that night, was it?

Some of you good folks have been here almost every single day or night for years.

And what is MLP, if not a pub for guitar-lovers?

I say support the place that has given you so much entertainment and information over the years.

Yup yup yup.
The ads don't pay the bills.
The contributions probably don't pay the bills.
Without them, we'd be back on Fidonet or a Usenet group.

Soon to be purchasing a Vendorship.

Just re-upped w/ auto renew

Alex, VicB and LtDave all did me a solid last year. It was much appreciated and not forgotten

I’ll re-up when I get close to mine expiring... I don’t mind paying for my seat... Some folks may be stretched thin, I don’t mind helping pay bills so we all can hang out here... Bills gotta be paid.... We piss away more than the Annual Silver tier fee in ONE night WORKING a gig easy...

Enough folks sign up and there might be cake....

 

[edro]

I’m not expired yet, will I still be entered in the drawing? I think I am good until May..

 

[CB91710]

We piss away more than the Annual Silver tier fee in ONE night WORKING a gig easy...

Most of us piss away more than the GDP of at least 50 countries

You know, the memberships are priced so reasonable, you can buy a membership and have a whole fist-full of cash to buy moonpies with.

I don’t go to pubs anymore.... so I might as well spend my money here.... and I don’t have to hear Willie Nelson on a busted juke box....win win!

The closest I can get to buy a round of Twinkies.

There aren't a whole lot of places that'll let me in for what I paid. Most of them are too picky
