[Updated] Why Subscribe to Neowin?

[Denis W. Veteran]

How long does it take for you guys to get 'subbed' i 'upgraded' via NoChex 2 days ago and i'm still waiting for an Admin to get round to it?

Once Paypal processed my card, I was brought back to the Forum Subscriptions page with orange username text. It instantly moved me to the subscribers group.

Odd, out of the recent posters in this thread I'm the only one who was subscribed right away. Maybe an admin was online while I was subscribing. :p

Guys, read his post - he used NoChex.

Janitor - I'll raise the issue with the Admins.

Radish?

That's quite odd. I purchased my subscription on 26-August 07 and I wasn't moved into the +Subscriber group until 8-September 07. I used PayPal just like you. It took me 13 days, excluding the day of purchase, to become a subscriber.

Mine was with paypal and i was moved to the subscriber group instantly. :)

Hmm I am thinking about subscribing...It would be really nice if they gave subscribers better speed or something to Neowin (if even possible.) Some days I swear it takes 5 min for a page to come up on neowin and other days its fine.

Woo hoo im a subscriber =D, figured I might as well neowin has fed up with me since 2003 :p.

[Mean Mr Mustard]

Because i said so :woot:

[Guest Alex H]

Chuck Norris would subscribe to Neowin.

That should be enough reason to make you. :-)

[Fubar]

chuck norris doesnt subscribe to neowin , neowin subscribes to chuck norris :p

Not a big poster, but i subscribed because Neowin has helped me many a time when i had a tech problem.

<3 Neowin

+1, although apparently im a bit more of a poster than you I tend to read a lot and not respond.

[RAID 0]

I'll subscribe after I've been here two years..... if I'm not banned. :D

[Crimson Behelit]

I am certainly not subscribing.

[insanekiwi]

Enhanced Service & Blog

Apart from supporting Neowin financially we also offer extended services for members for a measly ?10 (or round about $12.50 USD)

This package allows you to start a blog, offers extended topic/post editing, flood control significantly shortened, 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 + in front of your name and a shiny badge to show you support Neowin.

There is also an extra forum tied to the package where Subscribers are invited to post topics we wouldn't allow on the public forums (although nothing illegal is welcome there, our forum rules still apply).Sign up here!b>

I like Neowin but those aren't big deals to me for subscribing.

the whole point of subscribing is to help pay for the site. giving other "fetaures" is just a way of saying thanks, but that's not what you are paying for.

I don't understand why it's so hard for people to understand that.

What else is different about the private forum?

True.

[Lt-DavidW]

I took the plunge and subscribed over 16 hours ago (with PayPal) but the status is still 'Pending'.

It probably wasn't a good idea to subscribe on a Sunday. :laugh:

boobs...wait no I shouldn't of said that :shifty:

[sundayx Veteran]

Theres this recent surge of subscribers on Neowin.

[EnzoFX]

But further, the point is to support the site, while it giving you WORTHWHILE features. I want to see some worthwhile features, this is where creativity is put to use. The extra features don't really cost neowin anything, its just an incentive. No doubt there'd be less subscribers if there were no extra features. As such, more features, more subscribers....
