I think you may be confused - as far as I know there has only ever been 1
flavour of membership (see http://www.lugnet.com/people/members/options). And
you do not have to be a member to post, you just need to go through the posting

However, I do agree that is a little more complicated (and the instructions
harder to find) than more modern forums.
