    That, just as an experiment - I did convert my wife to “Gold” for $50.

    We shall see in the near term how the Gold and non-Gold are different…

    This makes things interesting.

    I upgraded to the Knight and have a trip as you know booked in a couple months. I booked the trip before the restructuring. Then FS put a bunch of F$ bucks in my account to compensate me for what they wouldn't be able to deliver with the Knight upgrade...the 1911 most importantly, the manuals, and all the other stuff that was promised but could no longer deliver.

    But because I didn't upgrade to Gold Status that's all been taken away, which is fine because then I don't have to pay a daily fee and any guests I bring with me to private do not either. If I had "upgraded", myself and my guests would have to pay the $75/day fee. I'll be honest, I would have ZERO problem paying that ebcause I do believe it's well worth it. I am just hesitant because I am unsure if/how/when they will just change the rules again.

    I do have over 1 million of the old school patronage points, so it's essentially free background checks for life and free transfers of any memberships or 4-day cert I have. But I could have used the over $6,000 in F$ bucks to buy ammo and I believe you could use F$ bucks toward part of that $75/day fee? Maybe I'm wrong on that one.

        Concierge said that the insurance is the only fee you cannot use the F$ Bucks.

          mine are back too. Wonder what will happen when I try and schedule private training. That should be back to free again as well.

            Me and a friend going on 8-12 April. I just transferred a membership to him and we both paid the background check and booked the class. There was no mention of daily fees or insurance. Are we hit with that each day once we arrive?

              No fees. Heard that it is business as usual from some of the recent attendees.

                  At the end much ado about nothing, though I guess a bunch did sign up to "pay as you go" for training.

                    I guess it is my turn on the chopping board...

                    I cannot access My Front Sight anymore; while my wife (which I had pay $50 for Gold Status) and my 11 and 14 boys' account are still good to go!



                    It seems that Iggy is targeting current or ex-members of the Lawsuit FB group...

                          Nope. I actually left that group on day #4 when it turned into a whine/rant fest...

                          And me? No questionable posts... So, ...

                          Oh well...

                            Crap, man. And I know you are cool with accepting the new changes too.

                            I bet he somehow captured the list of everyone in the Lawsuit group, past or present, and fires all of them.
                            Or, alternatively, the mole reads everyone's posts in the group, and checks the name against FS members list.
