Well it was moved today to the backpacking section of the forums under the donator's subforum and I lost access to the info I found so helpful. It left me rather frustrated and confused and kind of felt as if I was being forced into donating. I intend to donate and just need to wait for my paycheck because I do find this forum to be very helpful and do want to help the community pay for its costs.
So now that you know the background here is my suggestion. It would be nice to have a place for new members to ask questions or a hammock related topic section in the forums that is not expressly for donators. This would allow more traffic to get advice and keep what happened to me from happening and potentially driving off new members who are looking for advice as they are just joining the hammocking community or looking for more like minded individuals.
In the end want to say thank you for the for hearing me out.
