<HTML>This is too far a valuable site to ever see it perhaps have to close!! And I know this wasn\'t mentioned, but one never knows!!
$50 a year sounds high. Many monthly magazine subscriptions don\'t cost quite this much. But still, think, that is only about $2 a month...or 6 cents a day. For a few of us who are particularly interested in U-boats, it\'s not so much.
Perhaps it would sound more appealing price-wise, if it was $25 for 6 months. Same end price, but the amount is broken down into a smaller chunk. Just an idea...I would pay the $50 a year. Same cost as being an FFTU of the U-Boot-Archiv annually.
Yes, not everyone will want to pay this, but the site is still available on a free basis for the casual user. What this would be, is a VIP--if you will--area for those of us who want to help support the site in a special way.
Rather than pins or cards, etc. for members...how about just give them/us special recognition on a separate page....like....

This would show how many people are supporting the site and from all parts of the world, and maybe enticing more new members to be a part of it, too.
