The Neowin Email Subscription has been cancelled, we will no longer be accepting new subscriptions there and because we can't 'delete' the package due to active members, we have set the price unrealistically high.

We will have at least 1 package back on or before April. I will post more details on what those packages will consist of as we get closer to that date.

Existing email subscribers will have the opportunity to retain their email accounts after their subscription expires, but this will only be on request.

Members that subscribe 'for a laugh' because of the high price and the additional admin duties it requires to remove failed pending subscriptions will have warnings placed against their accounts.

Thanks for your support everyone, we'll have them back, but improved!

thats persumably unless of course they are serious and actually pay neowin the $1000 i guess...
Doubt it very much it would ever happen but still.

Ahhh thanks for the heads up, i was going to get one lol.

So I'll be subscriber-less for 2 months then. Oh well, I'll be ready to give you guys my support in April, then!

Will existing subscribers (who dont use the email) have the option of "transferring" over to the new subs?

Wow.... Does this have something to do with the leased servers costing a boatload?

No comment

First, Neobond actually replied to me for once! LOL

Second.... Can you tell us subscribers anything more about the new package(s)?

Will existing subscribers have the opportunity to "upgrade" to the new packages when they come out?

Hopefully we will offer some sort of upgrade.

April, wow. I hope there's some interesting upgrades. I'll be looking forward to it until then.

Blogs, hopefully

Perfect opportunity for you mad lot to launch an Aprils fool joke at the Subscribers .

If someone actually wants to subscribe and pay the $1000 then we'll find something to give them.

Perhaps an autographed picture of Neobond

I think somebody is neobonds new favorite!!


i can't see the price, im still suscribed.. says $12.63 canadian for me.

I believe its $1000

Still says:

I want one! Please! My hero

How about a Neobond action figure .

Or a Neobond inflatable

I'm happy with mine ^_^

That would be amazing!

I believe we are at around 150 subscribers right now, but I'm sure we'll have room for one more come April

is that it? 150 out of the what - 166000 users - that really sucks

Subscribers are definitely active but registered doesn't mean active

Whew ... mines good through till July 07 ... so, I'll just upgrade to a better package ... I'm prayin' for $30CAD/yr package that removes say ... ads or gives me mod stat or somthing

hooray

Nude?

Some of the members are probably a little too happy with thiers

I'm gonna die waiting till April! Urgh.

whats the yearly subscription and what benefits or lack of do you receive...basically what does subscribing actually mean? Sorry for such a dense question but i never looked into it until now.

You are helping a site which is made to help you.

Servers cost money.

neobond, what if we want to pay the very high price

I don't think the admins would allow someone to pay up 1000$....
I think their ethics wouldnt let them...
I THINK :rolleyes :hide:

mine just finished a few days ago, i was going to pay again but looks like can't now.






Excactly, think logical, even if you are mucking around.

We've sorted out the email server and cancelled the Planet leased server so I can re-open the subscription again.

I just re-enabled it for anyone that wants an extension.

Enhanced Service
This package removes flood control, allows extended topic/post editing, boosts PM storage to 200 messages, raises the upload limit for attachments to 1mb, includes a support forum and your online status is updated with a shiny badge.

Hopefully that will be cool, I left out emails. I suppose we could make exceptions if people requested it.

Thanks Neobond.

Yup, works like a charm

At €10 / £6 i think that the price is suprisingly reasonable and i would encourage all regular users to support

So is the removal of flood control already in effect for existing subscribers?


Edit: If not, PLEASE cancel my subscription early so I can re-subscribe.... I want my flood control removed!

Yes, no flood control is very important for spammers like me

Sadly, flood control still seems to be in effect for me.

PM Administration to let them know of the issue and im sure it will be sorted soon.

At the moment it still says "max. single upload size: 2 mb" down there, unless it'll be knocked down to its previous value (250 kb?) in the near future for non-subscribers.

Woohoo, I wanted to subscribe a week or two ago but wasn't able to, can't wait (hw right now ).

Oh wait, i just PM Daniel about this. So i won't be charged for this as just paid for it?

As I understand it, Neobond stopped subscriptions about two weeks ago but then re-enabled them a few days ago so the premise of this thread is now obsolete. Subscriptions are not currently cancelled.

dang.. i shoulda re-subscribed when i had the chance in december.. i forgot

why is this still pinned if there is a subscription available again?

Indeed. I just did my share.

i resubscribed, but now i've got a 1MB limit and i can no longer do a "quick edit"

what's with that?

Quick edit works

yup it does..i went quick edit on this mother fka
