Full Membership Benefits
The Website Itself
The website is owned and run by GayOutdoors. As with any online website and club, there are costs and fees associated with hosting and running it. Your membership dues go to keep this incredible website operating and available for gay, bisexual and straight outdoorzy guys. This includes providing outings and website upgrades. For many, this alone is worth a small price of membership.
Access To Restricted Areas
Once you are a full member of GayOutdoors, you gain access to restricted areas:
- Send emails and instant messages to other members.
- Contact other trip participants.
- View member home pages.
- Enlarge all the photos in a member profile.
- Priority profile ranking on all member search results and Who's Online.
- Find out which members have viewed your profile.
Voice On GayOutdoors Matters
After a year of being a full member, you can join our Board of Directors and have a voice on how GayOutdoors uses membership proceeds to improve the website, promote the club and shape its future. It's "our" collective money, so we should all have a say in how we use it. >> Click here for more information on our Board of Directors
