[Updated] Why Subscribe to Neowin?


Recommended Posts

We've come a long way since first launching our first subscription package in the beginning of October 2007. I have updated this thread to showcase our two subscription packages. The packages are priced in Euros, Tier 1 is ?10 (Euros) or just under $14 (USD) and Tier 2 is ?20 (Euros) or just under $28 (USD) at the time of posting (Feb 10 2010); for actual pricing please visit this link to convert Euros into your own currency.

Tier 1 - Enhanced Service & Blog @ 10 EUROS

Aside from supporting Neowin with the annual running costs you get:

  • Your own hosted blog.
  • Extended topic title/post editing (45 mins instead of 5).
  • Boosts PM storage to 200 messages, allows PM attachments and up to 10 participants per conversation.
  • Removes flood control.
  • Raises the upload limit for attachments to 4mb (per post).
  • Allows you to give out 10 rep points (instead of 5) daily.
  • Includes a private & support forum.
  • Sneak peaks and testing of new features being added to Neowin.
  • Choose from 5 Neowin domain related email accounts (instead of 2).

Plus your online member name status is updated to orange with a shiny badge.

Yes, but it's not easy to implement and would people be prepared to pay more than Enhanced service?

I'd pay AU$50 easy

Its a entire year so you would have to cover your cost I would expect?

I'm glad that these goods are offered in return for subscribing, although i don't use any of them i'm happy to donate.

I don't like to take without giving back.

I second that, actually I would pay double.

I think you could consider having a group called "gold member subscribers" few extra perks perhaps, for ?50 per year.. id be happy to pay it.

howz about a no warning one, loll

How much would you pay for that:yes:s:

Perhaps Neowin management need to work out a cost structure of the extras and stuff they were looking at when shift first went live, and get an indication of how much people would pay.

Or was that already done?

^ Welcome aboard friend.

the two features i think ill taking advantage of the most are the 1mb upload limit now, so i can post more pics without posting 1 pic over and over, and i dont have to compress the images. and the other one is the shorter flood control, i always accidentally hit active posts...right before i want to search something or check threads i posted in, then i have to wait a while to do it...

Possibly. To be honest though, ads don't bother me. It's just the ads in text that bother me. Can't sweep the mouse around without having windows block the news I'm reading. :pinch:
