I was a member when I was younger....back in the days before the internet lol (and because my mother thought it would be good for me to list it on a resume) I've never met a more boring group of people in my life. Maybe at the time it was just because I was young...but they didnt interest me at all.
I was reading their web page just now...is it really all that different from what some of us get out of TFP?

Members join for different reasons. Some like the social aspect of the organization, which includes everything from local game nights to the Annual Gathering. Others enjoy intellectual events such as speaker meetings, Colloquiums or CultureQuest®

Last time I checked people from tfp got together for social events (like board meetings in NY, IL, CA, CO, Canda etc)

Whether in person or online, Mensa offers intellectually gifted people a place to share their ideas. More than 150 Special Interest Groups allow members to pursue their interests — from astronomy to quilting —with other Mensans.

correct me if Im wrong....do we not create and maintain topics of any special interest we are into? Do we not find like minded people to discuss our interests with?

Members have access to special member benefits

last time I checked TFP had benefits for members with "full membership"

Each new member of Mensa adds something new and special to the organization

doesnt the whole attitude of tfp to new members reflect the same feeling?

Our member numbers are pretty impressive too
In short.....donate the 18 bucks you would spend on the test to the tfp fund and have a lot more fun!!!
