Pawnstars are people who have payed to play on this site. The have a star with wings. They can play in tournaments, join clans and play unlimited games. Original Pawnstars have the same privileges, but got them when it was still free (a long time ago). The have a star without wings.

In the early days of RHP, when someone became a pawnstar it was a life membership. It was later changed to a yearly membership, but the people who had already paid were exempted from ever having to pay again. Hence, they were known as "original pawnstars". Many of them have opted to pay a yearly subscription anyway to support the site.

Not quite true. In the early days there was no concept in fact of 'life membership'. Becoming a pawnstar allowed the user to contribute towards the running of the site, the removal of ads and a star beside one's username. Only when the introduction of yearly membership was implemented did the concept of life membership exist for 'original pawnstars'.

I don't quite remember it that way. I thought it was always considered a life membership for the original pawnstars.

Really I think you are probably correct. I guess I was using membership in the sense of what it means to be a member today. So although the benefits of membership have changed, to obtain the star for life did only require a one off payment and the benefits, albeit different to those of today, therefore I'spose did constitute a type of membership 🙂
