    There is a whole extra section for camp stuff that isn't hammock related as well as an off topic area... oh, and you know, chipping in for a site that you find useful is always a perk

    It gives you access to the members sub forum where we can discuss non-hammock related stuff such as backpacks, kitchen and cook kits, knives, etc.

    But it is mainly a way to help support the bandwidth cost of running the forum we all love. That's worth very small cost of membership for me.

    Plus you can turn off the ads... don't forget that. And you get the cheeky little Donating Member banner to show you care.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

    This comes from the "Terms of Service for Hammock Forum" : https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...427#post364427

    V. Donations and Donating Members Roundtable. Hammock Forums is operated on a completely volunteer basis. As such, we offer an option for members to help cover the server and bandwidth costs through an annual donation. As a reward, donating members get access to a Roundtable Off-Topic section where non-hammock topics can be discussed. Semantics aside, this is not meant to be a subscription for additional access – we’d be perfectly content if the only content on HF were hammock-related – it’s merely a reward for donating members to further participate in the community they helped to create.

    The following rules apply to the Donating Members Roundtable:


    A. The Roundtable is for open discussion of almost any topic. Please be sure to keep the discussions about hammocks and hammock gear in the forum where non-donating members will have access. The Roundtable is for non-hammock related discussion only.


    B. No political or religious discussion, no foul or abusive language, and no posting or linking to nudity, pornography or any other subject that may be NSFW (Not Safe For Work).


    C. All discussions will be kept civil.


    D. Please don't be offended if a moderator removes one of your posts from this section. Such decisions will be entirely at the discretion of the moderators.


    I hope that helps and it is worth it to sign up

    We would be one step closer to world peace, if everyone slept in a hammock..

    Wait a miniute...are you telling me that there's pornography on the internet?? I bet it's put there by Godless Communists or evolooshunists or maybe even Papists! Unless it's a secret plot by Obama and Bush to control our minds. Yeah, that's the ticket...a PLOT!!

    P.S. You get a neato sticker, too!
