I'm glad to know you feel it is warranted. I havent spent much time seeing what membership actually gets you. I just logged on for the first time and was immediately presented with something saying I had to pay to be a member. Im a part of a lot of groups, from other car types (classic trucks, imports, Gambler 500, 4x4 groups) to glassblowing, wood working, gardening and none of them require payment. The 4x4 groups have huge amounts of information of builds, routes, maps, ect, and don't ask for anything. The gardening groups have free monthly workshops and trails cleanups and campouts.... I guess I need to find out what membership really gets you and if it's worth it because its not worth $20 to me just to post in the forum. I only joined this forum because I saw the app on google play and wanted to check it out.
