And what is CP doing that is anything different than Daz
does with it's PC Membership, "Members Only" Forum??

All the usefull stuff (and support) of DAZ is free.
Members' forum is just an advertizing gimmick (Have you seen any difference from the Commons Forum in there, except the occasional "sneak peak"?).

"Members-Only Forums"
Rub elbows with the pros and learn new tips and tricks
straight from the Platinum Club developers themselves

:-D

I've never seen any Platinum Club developper show me any tip or trick... As I said, an advertizing gimmick. You don't need it, you don't miss it, it's just there. The really usefull forums are free.

Now I have to admit I'm partial towards CP. I'd rather keep buying at the original stores, because my (long) lists of purchased items are there, and they prevent me from buying things twice.
So I only buy CP-specific stuff at CP (like Miki, Koji and Yuki), and that's not enough to justify Passport. Thatfor I'm not happy to see basic services (like support) reserved to Passport users. If they want to give them (DAZ-like) special prices and special freebies, go on, be my guest. But don't cut out pieces of the basic user's deal.
