New "Premium Membership" Upgrade Program

**Admin** · 11-10-2011, 01:12 AM

A few of you have asked recently if there was a way you could donate to help support the forum operating costs. I really appreciate that, and I think I've come up with a great answer for those of you who would like to show your support.

I've implemented a new "Premium Membership" program that will upgrade your current account to "Premium" status for those who wish to donate. You can choose between two options, a 1-year membership, or a Lifetime membership.

For more details on pricing, and the added benefits you'll receive for upgrading to Premium, check out this page.

Thanks in advance for any of you that help to support the forum!

I think I like the idea of the annual support drive and the donate now button we had on the other forum.

The only options I saw were for a 1 year subscription and a 20 year subscription. I plan on living a hell of a lot longer than 20 more years. :)

One bonus for subscribing for the lifetime membership is to avoid the possible cost increase. As expenses rise, so must the "dues". It's just a part of life. With a lifetime membership, you don't have to worry about that. (At least I don't.)

I'll figure out what's wrong with our Pay Pal dealeo then sign up. . .

Got it, (seems Pay Pal doesn't like it when you change states and banks).

I'm just going to hold up a cardboard sign that reads, "KawaNOW credits needed"...

Come on Mr. Sr. Contributor, that's less than one silk shirt for a lifetime membership. . .

I credit KawaNOW with a lot.

Just curious, is the "Garage" photo gallery storage the album currently limited to four pictures?

What shade of green would you call that, Kermit Green?

Once we've contributed/donated, to whom do we speak about the actual account upgrade?

If you don't see a change in the near future send Mike (admin) a PM.
