How many of you have a FS membership?  I have been a member since 2013 and recently got a long email explaining why they will now charge a $500 yearly membership fee and are converting previously held assets to FS$.  I have enough FS$ to maintain a membership for 4 years.  When I use up all my FS$ I don’t think I will bother with them anymore.  You can now use those $ to buy ammo there as well as anything in the Pro Shop.  Previously certain items could not be paid for using FS credits. They got involved with some deal to build that resort which is now years behind schedule and costing them millions in legal fees.  I knew they were in trouble financially when they were always coming up with higher levels of membership with innovative names.  Patron, Commander, Master, Founder, Knight, etc. I was even donating a small amount each month for their legal costs, which I am now going to stop.  At one time I was seriously thinking of retiring on the mainland and moving to Pahrump.  Then I could go to FS every week if I wanted to.  After looking at everything, I am better off staying where I am with a handgun range in my own backyard.  Being retired and having a daughter that works in Hilo and who lives with us, I don’t even need to go shopping anymore, well unless it is for guy things like HD, HPM, gun shops etc.

I did a short writeup about it with references here:

I didn’t get any email from them. WTF. Let me search. What is going on?

I was doing more research on this Ponzi scheme known as Front Sight. This Piazza guy started and dissolved over a dozen corporations with the FS name, like FS Inc to FS LLC and many more.  His lying emails said it was more than a 2 to 1 ratio of members that “stepped up” to become lGold Status” members, when in reality he received thousands of emails complaining about the changes and threatening to drop their membership.  That is why two days later to retracted what he said about those not paying their yearly $500 membership would lose all their assets and membership in Front Sight. When I became a member in 2013 for $97, I was promised a lifetime of free courses as often as I wanted. Such a business plan cannot be self sustaining.  There are several individual and class action member lawsuits against FS because of the proposed changes.  I personally don't care if I lose all my FS assets as I don’t plan to ever go there again.
