Mat,

I am in the same boat and am planning to join "at some future date" ... when I can afford to. $150.00 is still a big deal to me too. Don't take it as if anyone is chiding you for not being grateful. That simply isn't the case!

As I said, the free forum is a wonderful place to be and its where we have all started out.

Don't gamble anything ... wait until you can afford it! As there is no payment plan, make your own. Put away $10.00 or $20.00 a month until you have enough saved and then sign up if you choose to. In the meantime, be happy (like me) that WebmasterWorld public forums exist ...

I NEED to be assured that what I would be getting via subscription is of added value.

Nobody is going to hand you thousands of dollars just because you join. However, the advantages are pretty easy to figure out from the above posts IMHO.

... and please don't refer to those of us on the outside looking in as plebes. I'm not a plebe!:)
