i was thinking about, did the "pre" sign up. but never got invited....

Not a member, not considering it. I've been on strength training forums before and found them not very female-friendly. The Stronglifts program was written to cater to a certain demographic, and I'm concerned that the blatant disregard for female lifters by the author/marketer of Stronglifts will carry over to the "secret club" masses. I don't feel the need to pay for something when the author of the program doesn't consider me, as a woman, significant enough to include even marginally.

I filled out the initial request for more info. and was sent a few questions to answer. I replied a few weeks ago and so far have heard nothing else. Not really sure if I would sign up or not but it could prove useful being able to interact with others from a variety of locations and abilities.
