I don't know. I'm a new member myself.
But I just donated (not much, just $25), not just for access to certain things but, there's a wealth of community info on this site and that deserves to be supported.
Way I see it, what's $25. I got scammed once for $85 and that was a lesson learned. Even having access to blacklists to cross-reference, to me, seems the cheaper alternative.
Just my 2 cents
