For those of you with star memberships how much did you pay?

Forgive me if this is a taboo topic, if so please lock. I was thinking of paying for one but I don't have a job right now so I don't want to spend too much. At the same time don't feel like being a cheap skate, even IF it says pay what you want.

and not worry about if it's too much or too little. They are kinda cool like that. I am sure they appreciate whatever you can do and some day when things are better for you, kick in some more.

The only reason I haven't done it yet is laziness. lol.


And that's another cool thing - I think Skinner and company treat me the same even though I haven't ponied up anything yet. So, it's all good. Do what ya can and don't worry about it.

Perpetually so I don't forget. I get at least $5 worth of laughs just from the Lounge so I know I get my money's worth!

...but, I donated more at one time and will again when I have money.

So, don't feel bad about only being able to give 'a little'. They won't turn down an extra donation later on.

I paid $100

You pay $10 . . .

No-one will know unless you tell them.

Pay more when you can

Skinner won't mind!

And that was for the trial period.

I'm still waiting for my toaster and prosthetics.
