What is a Lifetime membership?

Back in 2014 I was a LIFETIME MEMBER! I had signed up and I was told I had a LIFETIME membership and would never have to pay anything to be on Astromart! I could use ALL its great forum benefits! Before I knew it, the LIFETIME membership was over! I was confused! My benefits ended but I think I am still alive! Beware of LIFETIME benefits! On this forum they end before you are dead! Now even with paying each year, I am not allowed give a good rating for a seller that sold me a great spotting scope! I don't receive a unused ratings when I buy something on this site! WHY? Multiple time I have asked these questions but not have received any answer! Am I dead?

Looks like you only recently became aware of the difference

I am still not aware of why my lifetime membership ended in 2014 and why I can't give a rating for someone I just bought a scope from! Please explain! Thanks!

I have been on Astromart for many years.(years before I was declared dead in 2014) Great site, great forums, lots to read, buy and sell. I wish someone would tell me why I still can't seem to give someone I bought a scope from a good rating. What am I doing wrong? Is anybody able to inform me?

I finally realize why I can't post a rating on Astromart. First of all, (other than a reminder from a friendly Administrator that I have recently become aware of my donations to Astromart each year since 2014) Dead people can't post ratings! Dead or alive, it is allowed to donated each year, but no ratings allowed for dead people. Since Astromart stopped my Lifetime membership and declared me dead in 2014, I cannot post ratings!( except one time a few months ago?) I find it strange that Astromart lists me joined in 2014 the same year they declared me dead! I had been a live and contributing member for years before 2014! Amazing! Another mystery of the cosmos right here on astromart!
