I have seen a couple. I am incoming when my orhers run out
That was my plan also - but logically, why wait as a lifetime membership lasts (spoiler alert!) a lifetime.
Next time I’m ‘in funds’ I might as well.
How can we find out when our current membership expires?
D;on't think I'll get more slack at all(?) But well,my decision is simply a decision to support future pilgrims by keeping this forum alive indefinitely: A just cause for humanity, if you ask me.On the other hand - what if you suddenly go postal like a recently departed long-standing member and get hoofed off?
Do lifetime members get cut a bit more slack?
Rev - would you try posting a few rule-defying topics just so that we can see what happens?
@alexwalker I believe you've just answered your recent question "What do you do when you can't walk anymore?"... you stay in the virtual Camino and keep your connection and share with like-minded people. I know this is how I managed the time in between my trips to Spain, too. @ivar has created this haven for us and for those who are in a position to give back, I think it's a great gesture to become a 'Lifer'! Maybe someday we'll see a badge saying 'Caminodesantiago.me Forum Lifetime Member' stitched on someone's backpackD;on't think I'll get more slack at all(?)

On the serious side; Soo many people will benefit from being here even after they cannot walk, staying in a virtual Camino in here; sharing thoughts, experiences, and well-being for future pilgrims. IMHO.
Perfect! Thanks! I never knew how to check when I'd be expiring...I mean my membership, not me!Click on your profile picture, select ‘account upgrades’ and scroll down.
Yeah, I think I said something similar earlier in this thread: If you cannot walk anymore, become a hospitalero(a, apply for service in the Pilgrims Office, etc. Many ways to do the Camino without walking. And don't you know: Maybe our Camino experience can help one more pilgrim? If so we have done a good deed in our old days,@alexwalker I believe you've just answered your recent question "What do you do when you can't walk anymore?"... you stay in the virtual Camino and keep your connection and share with like-minded people.

I appear to be a Lifetime Member. I think I figured it would save me money in the long term.Just curious....
Some time back I found a few extra quid in my pocket, and frivolously used them to purchase a Camino Forum "Lifetime Membership." ... Are there any other "Lifetime Members"?
So you all calculate nicely: So many euros for so many years and donate accordingly? I just try to donate every year at Christmas what I can afford because the money is needed and because I find so much enjoyment on this forum. By the time my life is over I suppose I will be a lifer several times over without ever having donated 300 euros in one go. Now I come to think of it, given my age maybe I will not be a lifer that many times over!
Jeffrey - I'm a future Lifetime member! Joined in November 2004 when it was a Santiago Forum, not so much a pilgrim forum.Just curious....

I can always renew when my current membership expires.Ah! So you have 99 years minus 18 months of surfing in peace on this forum ahead of you without being dunned.....
I can always renew when my current membership expires.
I am also a lifetime member of the Youth Hostelling Federation
The Canadian chapter of the Hostelling Federation no longer gives lifetime members special cards like they did in the early 80s when I got mine. They just give us new cards whenever we want one.Me too. We must be a fairly rare breed because almost every time I have shown my gold membership card at check-in someone does a double-take and tells me they have never seen one before.
Yes, same happened to me with the ads.....a good reminder as I hadn't given it a thought.Perfect! Thanks! I never knew how to check when I'd be expiring...I mean my membership, not me!Last time I was unaware it had run out and started getting ads and whatnot, which totally confused me because I had no idea what had happened.
