Hi Funkytown,
So sorry for the confusion. In order to cover our costs, we had to charge a membership fee and Lifetime Membership was a way to let people help us get up and going. The board of directors decided at the first of the year to open up membership for free. We want to ensure that everyone who would like to participate in our online community can do so – free of charge. Once registered everyone has full access to the secure online community where they can attend live hosted chats, access the discussion forums where they can participate in topic-focused conversations, comment on blogs & surveys, share experiences and so much more. We still need donations in order to keep things running, so there is a place to donate and the Lifetime Member designation is still available to those who wish to help in that way.
We are very happy to have you as a member here at TPC. We look forward to chatting with you in the live hosted chats and on the discussion forums. If we can answer any questions please just let us know.
