Supporting Member Program
We would like to thank all of the members of the Tahoeforum who have helped us grow to become a fun and informative community and also simply a fun place to hang out while online. Some of you already call this place home and spend a considerable amount of time here. Some would like to be recognized publicly as a devoted member and also obtain special entitlements. So to help support these special members, and offer them additional features and resources we have created the "Supporting Member" program.
In addition to what we offer now, we have plans to continue to improve the site features, functionality and performance to keep up with the pace of a growing community, keep it attractive and remain fun to use for everyone.
We will always remain a free site for everyone to use and enjoy, although as always, there is as always a limit to just how much we can offer to everyone for "free". The "Supporting Member" program is a voluntary way to contribute without obligation to the site and earn extra entitlements, public recognition, privliges and extra perks for contributing to the site.
If money is tight for you and you would rather not contribute financially, by all means please feel free to do so and no obligation to contribute. You are by all means, in no way obligated or do we want to make you feel obligated, to contribute, and you are more than welcome to continue and remain a free member for as long as you wish.

The perks are outlined in the table below. The Lifetime Member and Lifetime Gold plans are just that. As long as you and Tahoeforum are around you will retain your status for life. It is a onetime payment.
If you choose to become a Supporting Member, we thank you and it is a very easy process to do so. To contribute via Paypal go into your User CP from the top menu of the forums. Scroll down until you see Paid Subscriptions in the left side menu. Choose the plan you would like and follow the prompts.

And we thank you very much for your support!
