Help support The Totally Triumph Network by upgrading your membership... and enjoy the benefits.

Introduction

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Totally Triumph Network TEAM supporter to help fund the ongoing operation, growth and long term survival of the The Totally Triumph Network. Originally created to provide all Triumph motorcar enthusiasts with an advanced discussion platform free of superfluous off-topic content and flame wars, the site debuted as The Totally Triumph Garage on September 7, 2000 and has grown steadily in membership.

As of November, 2001, this site had been visited by more than 23,000 unique visitors and is accessed over 11,000 times per week.

Originally, commercial vendor support of this site through banner advertising was anticipated, but after 14 months of operation funded entirely out of my own pocket, an optional, enhanced form of membership was desperately needed in order to continue the operation of this site and maintain the excellent level of service and discussion environment that our members have come to appreciate and expect. A secondary, but important purpose for this fundraising effort is to upgrade and expanding the network's offerings for the further enjoyment of our valued members.

To solve the increasing strain of funding this site, we've come up with a real win/win program whose benefits to each upgraded, or "Team" member, will far outweigh its investment by way of a very modest annual membership fee of $20 (U.S.) per year.

Benefits

For your annual membership fee provides enhanced membership benefits which include:

• An immediate upgrade of your forum access. You'll receive a special "TTN Team" icon next to your name on all forum posts (retroactive), denoting your special "supporting" status as a valued member who is dedicated to the ongoing operation of this site.
• Instant, real-time e-mail notification of new messages in your subscribed forums the moment they are posted, replacing the truncated digest version which is only sent periodically to regular forum members.
