My Bronze expires in Jan. If I renew as a Silver now will it be added to the remaining Bronze time I have left?

s&wchad summed it up pretty well.
I actually prorate a remaining donation down to the day. When you made the Silver donation on 11-13-22, you had 69 days remaining on your Bronze. Since Silver (60) costs exactly twice as much as Bronze (30), those 69 Bronze days added 35 days to your Silver since I round up in your favor. You made the Silver donation on Nov 13, so it was extended 35 days to Dec 18, 2023.
THANKS for your Support.

Other than the SWCA I have never been a contributor here, however I do like the way those badges look. If I give money to the SWCA again, do I get to keep the number I was issued close to a decade ago?

I do not handle funds for the SWCA. You are not donating to this forum when you join the SWCA. I think they are now assigning new membership numbers to members who rejoin after lapsing. You will have to talk to the SWCA Administrator about that. Cotact- Smith & Wesson Collectors Association – The Collectors Resource for Historic Smith & Wesson Firearms

I've been a contributing member for a good many years. Well worth it. I encourage everyone who enjoys the forum, especially on a daily basis, to chip in.

My thoughts exactly. I didn't know I had this infatuation with handguns until I joined this support group. The free technical support makes it well worth it.

Lee,

Is there a Membership Level which allows more than 5 Dings before being put in Forum Lock-Up?

I get in a hurry and seem to make some mistakes every now and then, mostly due to Senior Moments and Excitement of posting something.

I have never run an internet forum. I have zero experience with owning or running even a website let alone a forum that is frankly THE unparalleled modern source for all things S&W.

I would be happily surprised if somehow, Lee made any manner of even a laughable "profit" at this venture. And that's only considering the almighty dollar and does not make any consideration for the time, knowledge, care and skill that it takes to make this place survive.

As with television, we all have the opportunity, if not the responsibility, to change the channel if we are not enjoying the programming.
Any who are not enjoying themselves here need not comment, rather go to a safe place where you can enjoy life on your own terms.
It is a bit early for me to renew, but I think that will be my next order of business today.
My thanks go to the owner and the management for a job well done with very few rewards.

There is enough money to keep the forum going and growing.

Unfortunately it is still in the pockets of the members.

I stole this from a site about a building fund that involved a steeple.
Quoting original would get a ding.

If there was I'd chip in to get Gary...CAJUNLAWYER one!

I've been an administrator on a Surfing forum, and one busy FaceBook group.

Was a moderator on a photography forum.

It was like a full time job keeping up with things.

Couldn't begin to imagine the work put into owning/running a forum.

Mass props to all that keep this one, which is the most civil forum I've ever been on running so smoothly.

 

[bamabiker]

I've read this thread a few times now and started to respond but didn't. Well here goes.
I visit this forum just about every day and some days multiple times. I enjoy reading, learning, laughing and many times just looking at beautiful pictures of guns and other things. I contribute to the forum because i enjoy it so much.
I personally don't care if Lee or anyone else gets rich from it. More power to them. Just please keep it going and continue to run it in the same way.

I'm somewhat (or a lot) computer challenged. Where do I check to see when my donation is due for the Bronze level? I will renew, but don't see when it is due.

Moderators (or Lee):

I have been collecting S&Ws since the early '60s and have bought a few from members of this forum. You guys are doing a superb job and always remember the latin saying: "illegitimus non carborundum"* when dealing with malcontents on YOUR forum. It is YOUR forum and you are certainly free to set the rules and demand compliance with them. OK, now off my soapbox and on to the real question (glad I got that off my chest)...

I would like to begin selling-off my collection of 347 vintage S&W firearms as I'm getting up in years and none of my heirs are interested in inheriting them. At what level of contribution would you consider to be appropriate to advertise these guns for sale? I am NOT an FFL holder nor a dealer of any kind but just a collector who's finally realized I can't take 'em with me when I go

Thanks!
