+El Diablo Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 (edited) Charter membership is for those that became paying members the first year that memberships were offered. I believe that was in 2002. We have no more perks that you do. El Diablo Edited May 29, 2007 by El Diablo Quote Link to comment

If you ask too many questions about Platinum Membership... or try too hard to get it... you get the Rusty Aluminum Membership instead. Hmmm,perhaphs you're on to something here... Unlike the Platinum Memberships where you get to ride on the corporate jet and have caches published instantly and are assigned your very own Toothless Helper Monkey to find caches... with the RA membership you have to change the oil on the corporate jet whenever you want to place a cache. Placing caches require a DNA sample through blood donations for the purpose of verifying your worthiness (or so they say)... and whenever an RA member goes to find a cache... not only are we encouraged (like everyone else) to CITO... but we are required to CIHMPO (Cache In, Helper Monkey Poop Out). So... my recommendation is not to ask too many questions about the Platinum Membership... that is unless you like handling Helper Monkey Poop!! Edited May 29, 2007 by BRTango Quote Link to comment

+StarBrand Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Charter membership is for those that became paying members the first year that memberships were offered. I believe that was in 2002. We have no more perks that you do. El Diablo One addtional note - you can lose the "charter" status by not continuing (paying) your membership in a timely fashion each year. Quote Link to comment

+GeocachingAdam Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Now ask about Platnium Membership So what is a Platinum Membership and how's does one obtain it? Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Now ask about Platnium Membership So what is a Platinum Membership and how's does one obtain it? It's bestowed from on high. You can't ask for it. You can't buy it. It just happens from getting noticed by those with the power. Just to be clear that means noticed in a good way. Noticed in a bad way is another kind of special membership. Quote Link to comment
+Wayfinders Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Now ask about Platnium Membership So what is a Platinum Membership and how's does one obtain it? You have to be on the plane when the magnetic energy is released from The Swan. Quote Link to comment
