Is this kosher?

[Scott Parker K7LU]

Back in ancient times, BYUARC handled all matters of signing up members and collecting dues internally. In those days, while it was at times controversial, we did have a few members from the outside community that were not students, staff or faculty.  I was told that nowadays, because all club memberships are processed online through BYUSA, only current students and university employees are eligible.

However, today I was playing with the process for joining the club, just to see how far I could get.  And guess what: Apparently you don't have to be current.  All you have to have is a BYU account.  I was able to fill in all the forms.  Then I came to the payment interface.  What the heck....might as well give it a try.  And sure enough, it even took my money, whereupon BYUSA issued me the following e-mail.

Thank you for the payment.

So, the question is, am I in?  Am I now, once again, an official BYUARC club member?  Or am I excluded by rule? (And if the latter is the case, can I get my 5 bucks back?)

In any case, I used my own account and all the info entered was legit, so I don't think I can be labeled a hacker.

BYUARC has a exception that allows older alumni as members but you can not be an officer.
As far as I know you are in.
