Buy a Paid Subscription to the Forums

**sameer** · January 1st, 2005, 01:46 AM

I'm offering a paid subscription to the forums which will give you the additional features listed below. And besides the features below, you will know you are supporting a website which has provided you with countless hours of entertainment. Plus, contrary to public opinion the forum does not turn a profit (although the main site does turn a small profit). Paid Subscribers give an incentive for the forum to be improved.

Your name in bold orange on the user list (similar to how admins are green, supermods are purple, and vip members are red)
Access to the VIP Forum
Ability to see users who have selected "invisible" mode (ie you will know when they are surfing the forum even if they have selected to be invisible)
Allowed to choose your own custom user title in your user control panel (can be changed instantly by the user)
Can keep 10,000 private messages in account (regular users can only keep 300)
Ability to use private message tracking (ie be told when a user reads your pm)
Ability to deny read receipts (ie not allow the sender to know you have read his/her pm)
Ability to send pm's to 50 members at once (regular users can only send to 5 members)
10MB total attachment limit (regular users get 1MB)
Ability to delete your own posts
Can post events on calendar
Can view detailed location info for users (Allows the user to see detailed information for some forum actions. For example, if the subject is sending a Private Message, the user will be able to see who it is being sent to. If the subject is viewing the profile of a user, the user will be able to see who it is.)
Can view user notes people leave about you
Can leave user notes for yourself

The subscription costs $10 and lasts for 1 year. You can subscribe by going to your control panel and then on the left side selecting "paid subscriptions". You will pay through paypal and you will instantly get all the features listed above.

NOTE: All terms and conditions of the subscription are outlined in the preceding paragraphs. Any replies to this thread do constitute additional terms and conditions.

FAQ:

Q: Where do I buy?
A: http://forums.ratedesi.com/payments.php

Q: What if I get banned?
A: If we, at our sole discretion, determine that you inadvertantly broke forum rules that resulted in your banning, we will issue a prorated refund once you request it. However, do not intentionally break forum rules (such as widespread spamming) in an attempt to get banned and receive a refund. We will instead ban you without issuing a refund.

Q: I am a "lamed" member and/or have been banned on a different account, can I still buy a subscription?
A: No. If you do buy a subscription and we discover you are a lamed/banned member you will be re-lamed/re-banned with no refund.

you cant pick the color yourself. altho if orange doesnt work i could pick some other color for all paid subscribers (only one color tho).

and as for avatar uploads. i guess i could allow that if it made a difference to people. but you have your sig to express yourself so its not really necessary.

Yes, I will pay. Not necessarily because I want all those additional benefits, although this is an excellent idea, but purely because you have done a great job on this site and it deserves some support.

Well done, Sameer.

**MolviCorleone** · January 1st, 2005, 11:47 AM

$10 the western union exchange rate was 1.9.....the paypal one was 1.88 damn stingy paypal they robbing me out of a cople of pence. Its bout £5 something. Hey we dont gotta pay any extra paypal charges do we. Or this might be a big trick. Make a lot of people pay $10 and then close the site in 2 months and dissapear. Shit gets worse

Aurovon · January 1st, 2005, 12:08 PM

Honestly, less people will be tempted to upload their pics on the main RD site if you do that.

LOL Sarah, you can have your "gold" now
