Steven P. Founder Share Posted January 17, 2007 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! Link to post Share on other sites
