Then cough up some cash for a membership. Otherwise, hush it. Later.

Yup, people complained when there was no Search, now that the new hardware is in place to get the search feature back up and running, Joe's got to pay for it somehow. Man isn't made of money. Anyone know of any dedicated cyclists who have a few million laying around to donate to the site, then maybe Joe would be able to dial back on the ads a bit.
P.S. - even though I'm a red star, I'll probably turn on some ads to help generate some income for Joe when that option is added.

Got me to upgrade! 
The process is now automatic, so make the paypal payment and you're all set. I can't think of anything else I can get for less than $1 a year, but I guess I'll probably have to renew when my 30 is up. I plan to still be riding then.

I've always thought that $25. was a great value considering the time I spend here. I like baseball too and spend a ton of money just to get my favorite team on the tube.
