    A $15 increase is $1.25/month. 

    But yeah...if it isn't worth it don't pay it. Simple as that.

    I'm hoping there is more member only merch offerings but if not that's ok. 

    Yet again, missing the point.  A number of other people have already mentioned the "it's only $1.25 a month" excuse here and in the thread in the porch, all together missing the point others of us have made which is that charging more for less really seems like a cash grab.  They could have at least had different levels including a low price for members who simple like to be involved with the PJ community on the forums and are not into buy buy buy more stuff.  Odd that so many here defend that action or don't seem to get that.
    No I completely get that it's $1.25/month

    It simplifies things for them. Hasn't been increased forever. Forgo a burrito from Qdoba once a year and keep your membership.

    It's not the money, Gern.  I have the money and I've updated my payment info to include my newest credit card. They will get my money and I will get to stay on here and keep posting here.  That's the only benefit for me, but I'll do it.

    I consider leaving like every other month. haha Haven't been posting that much since it's such a fucking cesspool a lot of the time. 

    whatever. I'll probably pay it because, with my luck, I'd end my membership and they'd immediately announce a full canadian tour.

    I’m grateful to have been grandfathered in from when they offered a lifetime membership for one flat fee. 

    $50 / year and the only special access you get is the chance to buy $300-500 vip concert packages (which are also offering fewer & fewer bennys w/ every new tour) 

    10C is the shit and a steal by comparison.

    Obviously I’d rather spend $20 than $35. But as long  as you can get tickets for multiple shows, still seems like a good deal. They could make the 10c free and charge double for tickets, but I prefer this system.
    Tickets are the only reason I’m in it. If not for that possibility I probably would have left when they dropped the single, if not sooner.

    The merch is certainly getting there.
