I haven't been on Lugnet long enough to really pass comment on it changing
or not.
But if you want to become a member I will pay the $10 minimum membership fee
for you.
If you not comfortable accepting this, just think of it as an interest free
loan, you can pay me back whenever you are able..
I believe being an official member adds a lot to the Lugnet experience
personally.
