Consider the benefits of moving your participation from the
blue zone (see my sig) to a paid subscription:
Upgrade your membership to the
Subscriber level (the minimum
paid level) and then you will be able to:
1. Change your user profile title to something meaningful (mine says "
Presbyterian (PCA)") to you
2. Add images to your sig, like the "way kewl" one in my sig below
3. Move any thread you have started to a better location
4. Start a thread, get everyone whipped into a frenzy, and then close it
5. Post real-time in the shoutbox, that is, the chat box, unlimited times
6. Also edit your posts in the shoutbox
7. Post attachments, including audio, video, and flash, to your posts
8. Use a 20Kb avatar that can be animated (like mine!)
9. Use a 20Kb avatar pix
10. Store up to 150 PMs, track them, deny receipt of them, and be able to PM up to 10 members simultaneously
11. Post events to the calendar, edit and delete them
12. View the member ID of those rating your posts
13. Post your own user notes or notes about others or groups
14. Access private threads only for paid members
15. Create your own social groups, such as
this, and be your own moderator, like me
16. Create your own photo albums
17. Customize your profile page, like
mine (see background)
18. Check out Knight's coming and goings around TOL HQ: sleeping, bemusement, frustration, etc., via the Knight Cam
19. Reduce the amount of third-party advertising you will see
All this for $3 a month or $30 a year as a
Subscriber level member.

You will note that the benefits also increase beyond the minimum
Subscriber level.
