....and paid vendor or not....IMHO......a giveaway once in a while is just supporting the community that much more. I've given away about $500 worth of product on this site, in giveaways....this year alone. I've also contributed small $ amounts to the site. Personally....I think giveaways benefit the site more than a yearly fee. Giveaways spread the word about the site, and get new members signed up left and right. Thomas understands this way of thinking....and approves. I strongly encourage giveaways from all companies....paid vendor or not.
