Not aware of being gifted one? Do you know who did it. And possibly more important why have I been paying? I did indeed gift a Subscription to Busdriver as stated, I’m sure I checked Busdriver’s Profile before hand and there wasn’t a Red Subscriber banner over the photo at the time??

Busdriver 6209 Posted February 5, 2021 I first subscribed in October 2019 and renewed October 2020 . I feel guilty as I don’t think I thanked @Re-Buggedfor the donation in March. Where do we go from here. I haven’t gifted even though I have paid? I had hoped to gift to @Grumpy pants for his advice etc over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
netsmithUK 488 Posted February 5, 2021 Give me a bit of time to sort it out. I'll give you both your options to give a free subscription away back. Chris 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No problem, I'm happy to resubscribed toTC is well worth the money and I get a lot of enjoyment out of the forum. My showroom subscription lapsed as I sold so much off and then bought very little, but I'll rejoin next week and put back into the pot quite happily.

ewant81 33 Posted February 11, 2021 I'm no doubt far too late for the free subscriptions, but I thought I would ask just in case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Collin 1956 Posted February 13, 2021 May I ask what is the benefit of a "full member"? I am manly using the forum and browsing through showrooms sometimes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
netsmithUK 488 Posted February 13, 2021 Its not for everyone, that why we have the two tiers. Apart supporting the site financially so that all tiers can enjoy the service, you can find most of the differences here https://www.tamiyaclub.com/why.asp Cheers Chris 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Collin 1956 Posted February 14, 2021 Thanks Chris, you listed this point twice . access to the higher resolution manual scans, useful if you need them as a printed reference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonboy1 2943 Posted April 27, 2022 Is the gift option still available? I paid my renewal but I'm not seeing the option to gift one to anyone. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
netsmithUK 488 Posted April 27, 2022 If you are a logged in subscriber you should see the option when you view anyone else's profile page (unless you've done it in the past already) Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

netsmithUK 488 Posted April 28, 2022 Its a one time thing I'm afraid, otherwise it obviously means double the amount of uploaders (and tcphoto users) for no extra income, which is just not viable on an ongoing basis I'm afraid. I am looking at if there is a way to allow some other sort of discounted offer. regards Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonboy1 2943 Posted April 28, 2022 ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying it. Oh and thank for all the great work you've done all these years, it's very much appreciated 👏 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
