What's the benefit in upgrading your membership?
I opted for the lifetime membership a few years ago and have not regretted it. The only advantage that I have found is that non protected pictures are available. Other than that is the knowledge I am supporting a site I like a lot and use frequently. A one time $100.00 USD will do the trick. Hawk
Aside from pictures the only other "issue" if you want to call it that was limiting the amount of friend requests per day that I could send. When I first became a member I was attempting to friend everyone whose profile caught my eye (more than just photos, but reading through them as well). I found out pretty quick that there was a limit. $100 for a lifetime membership was worth it to me, although had the lifetime option not been there I most likely would not have opted to upgrade. Paying a monthly premium for a social media website just isn't worth it to me.
