I've added a new user group to the site, called 'Founding Members'. Everyone who has already registered, or who registers through 30 September, 2017 AND who has posted at least Fifteen times, will be moved from Member group to Founding Member group. This user group will have some added perks. I'm not sure what yet, but it will come with some added benefits soon.
The promotion should happen automatically to each eligible member, the next time they interact with the site. On the main page of the site, partway down the right column, is a box that shows online users. Find your name in that list. When your account upgrades, your name will go from black text to bold green text.
There will be a drawing for a Glock pistol, in early October. The winner will be picked at random from the members who are in the Founding Member user group.
