[Updated] Why Subscribe to Neowin?

[Steven P. Administrators]

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.

Ever think about having ad removal as a subscriber package?

[Steven P. Administrators]

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

[x-scratch]

i would pay $5 to $10 extra

[accesser]

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 would too :cool:

Probably not, the adverts are unobtrusive to start with.

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.

[snyper]

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.

I second that, actually I would pay double.

howz about a no warning one, loll

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

[Lee G. Veteran]

I'll be resubscribing! ;) (and now I have a Paypal account so it's 100x easier :p)

My subscription runs out next month - 23rd I think.

[Nashy]

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?

[+StevoFC MVC]

I decided today to donate again...

[Amano]

What about this? https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=592656

[bibutteryboy]

sorry, I'll keep using the service for free

[Berserk87]

I just became a subscriber :D

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

^ Welcome aboard friend.

[Berserk87]

^ 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...

[+Tantawi Subscriber²]

^ another one you will like is the the ability to edit thread titles after posting :D Welcome (Y).

What about this? https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=592656

Yes please admins look into it.

[Tzimisce]

[MasterC]

I'd miss my gold stars if I became a subscriber :shiftyninja:

[dead.cell]

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

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:

[Jimmy0]

I just became a subscriber :D

[snyper]
