ere is a short list of reasons why. Keep in mind as the website continues to grow and more features are added, the list will grow and change as well:
- It's free!
It doesn't cost anything to be a member. All that signing up does is give us your email so we can stay in contact from time to time, but gives you a forum profile plus all of the other benefits below as well.
- Access to free episodes!
You get access to the "free episodes" page where you can stream episodes of The Legend of Aang or Korra, for free! I mean... why not sign up, right?
- Forum profile, Badges, and more...
... Becoming a member also lets you do the following in the forum. Have your own personal profile with an about page that you can tell us about yourself or customize with emojis, or whatever else you want to do with that space. It also lets other fans quickly find the comments or posts you have written, follow you, and become friends.
... You also can Comment, post, and leave "hearts" aka 'a like' on other fans posts or comments.
... earn badges, Badges are your way of showing off to everyone else. Maybe you have the most liked posts and are super popular. Maybe you are the newest member that gets all the attention. Maybe you are the master recruiter by helping 10 friends of yours sign up as members in just this week? Badges let you show off to everyone sort of like a rank.
... Forum Ranks!! Wix does not provide a forum "rank system" yet, unfortunately. Therefore, we are currently working on a way to make custom ranks for forum members. We will probably have a post in the community section in Guru Pathik's help room that lists the types of ranks and needed requirements to earn them.

- Member's Only Access!
... Only members will be allowed to access certain pages of the website. Currently, the only page(s) we have locked for members are the free episodes page. In the future we might have a page for like videos where we the staff actually interact with you, where we do "movie parties," and more. We are still deciding what to add to member only areas.
... However, another area that only members can access will be the "members voting only" or "MOV" area where we will ask members about potential upcoming updates, features, possible merchandise, and more, and we will ask members to vote on what they want added to the website or future store.
- Permanent Discounts at the future TLS store!
... we are slowly starting to get to the point where we can have a merch store full of our own merch plus getting DVD's of the avatar series and having here be the cheapest place on the web to buy them at. If you sign up as a TLS member and are active in the forum with at least 10 personal posts and 25 comments of your own. Then when the store goes live, you will get a permanent 5-20% off all store purchases!
- and more as the forum app and wix continue to develop.
... Wix and the forum app are constantly growing and so are we. We will ask members only in the MOV area what are some benefits that only members should get, so by signing up, you get a say in what new goodies you get to have in the future. What more could you want than that?
Personal Note:
- So, I hope this list, which will grow in the future, is enough to show you that joining the TLS community and being an active member by commenting and posting has its benefits. It will help you get more out of the website than just visiting time to time. I hope that you join our family and find new friends, incredible talents, and most importantly be able to enjoy the wonderful universe that Mike and Bryan have created for us.
Sincerely,
TheLastSnag
