lol. Perfect.
I agree! I know another board that will allow you trade points in for lottery tickets. The winner gets a free subscription for a month. I also can't afford to be a paying member. I would love to. I think the gifts are great. I love the shop but I do wish there was something more for us non-paying members. Even if they would cost more for us.Originally Posted by jane_vernon
I think its fair in some ways that Premium members can buy things that Non-Members can't.
But they have taken away EVERYTHING other that the gifts and ribbons. That seems a little unfair to me.
As Premium members get an allowance per week of points as well, it won't take them long to get up the points needed for the more expensive items, whereas non-Premium need to work hard to get all those points.
I think non-paying members, who most of the time can't afford a membership should be able to get something half decent with their points.
Ok I'm off my soap box now
That is what I do, I have not purchased anything for myself, I did purchase a rose in memory of Amber, but that was it.Originally Posted by babyharley
Why don't you buy a bunch of gifts for members? That would be a very nice thing to do

I think that paying members deserve something better too, I am not a paying member and I am not complaining about nothing.Originally Posted by Yosemite
First, let me take off my mod hat. There!
I'm sorry you feel this way. Paying members are what help to keep TCS going so the non-paying members can also enjoy this excellent site. As a member and not a mod, I feel that folks who go the extra mile to help keep this site up and running deserve to have a little extra as well.
Okay, off my box now and going to go back and put my mod hat on.
Thats so true! Friendships made are so much more important than any pointsOriginally Posted by LSULOVER
I value the friendships I have made here more that anything.
Yep, this is the first board that I have been on that gives you points and lets you buy stuff.Originally Posted by babyharley

I try and make people feel good when I give them a present. I just want them to know that I care.Originally Posted by jean-ji
I like to give gifts to new people on the forums, a bit of a Welcome Wagon thing. And it does make you feel good, try it.

lol. Nope I was/am dead serious. And I will come back to this thread and go down the list (to those that praised my boy) and give more points...as they build up.. No joke people. Better start telling me how purdy my boy is.Originally Posted by kittylover4ever
Kallie, I am sorry to hear you don't feel like you fit in.....TCS welcomes all and I like to think we're all a big happy cat loving family, albiet some of us quieter than others, kind of like real life! I feel bad for you giving me SWC's points, because I truly thought it was a joke, kind of like someone posting and saying, TAKE MY CATS PLEASE!We know they don't mean it.........many a time I've tried to give my Tiggy away!
I will take your points and give gifts to people.........so they will be put to good use!
Am I allowed to donate points to people and make them buy me gifts?Originally Posted by jean-ji

Oh man, I hate IMO..everyone seems so mean in thereOriginally Posted by IloveSiamese
I just feel that way because I am so quiet unless I'm in IMO (which is sorta more my element hehe). I think everyone is great here and you all are welcoming!!! Sometimes, I just need to jump into things a little moreI do love TCS
I am scraping by too, but to me $19 for 3 months is nothinOriginally Posted by Sicycat
I LOVE this site, I really do.. I've been a member here for years and I think its a fun board as well as very informational (is that a word? LOL) but I really feel that it is quite expensive here for premium. I run a large U2 forum with over 50,000 members and the board owner only charges $12 a year for premium membership and people STILL complain believe it or not.If I had the extra money I would but times are tough right now, barely scraping by as it is!
