I was once considering becoming a member, but these days, I have decided that there is no value in doing so. If I want the only benefits now, I can wait a year and get them cheap on eBay, or get them free on the HL website.

A few years ago, I would have joined if I wasn't 12 and didn't have the means to do so. However, through what I have learned from those who are members on this forum, the surrounding circumstances, as well as how similar situations have worked out, I have been able to formulate an opinion on the subject.
