leesmithg Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 what? that's absolutely nothing... Thats something. This site could close down for good in the next 5 minutes. Pointless having a lifetime subscription service. It could be messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boktai1000 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I would actually think about subscribing if there was a lifetime subscription, otherwise sorry but it just seems like a waste to me (I know its not to others). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted July 28, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted July 28, 2008 I'd probably go with yearly to avoid such a large hit in a oner. If people are saying like ?100, is that not the equivalent of like 8+ years on a yearly basis (current fees). I've actually forgot what I paid, it was around ?10-15 anyway. No offence to Neowin but investing for 8 years is a large proposal. I'd rather just invest in a yearly basi:):) (not that I'd not planning on investing as long as im a member, but that's the thing, many things can change in such a timeframe. don't worry I don't plan on going anywhere thoug:p:p) ps. I know this is a lifetime proposal, so my 8 year analogy is quite full of fail, but my point was just really the time scale part and what can happen in such a length of time.

Rappy Veteran Posted July 29, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 29, 2008 Putting your money towards 8 years or even 5 I think is a bit steep because as others have said how do we know whats going to happen in 5 years I still like the yearly one.

Matrix XII Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Or how about a 2 year sub? I hate having to resub every year lol (I know that sounds ridiculous) :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted October 1, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 1, 2008 The most I'd pay with my own money is $150, simply because I'm a poor student. I might pay $200 or $250 if, and only if, I get the money from my parents. A lifetime subscription is quite tempting. It would definitely be a good way to get some $$$ for Neowin.

StevoJD Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 It's not good investing for something long-term. We have no idea if Neowin will still be here next year. Plus, it can interfere with future buyouts (Neobond has to retire some day!) and other business Neowin might be interested in conducting later on.

Knife Party Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 lol, $100 each, then take the site for a 'maintainance' check :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell-In-A-Handbasket Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 i had a lifetime subscription to Helgate:London, but i think the lifetime for Neowin would last longer, lol id be up for a lifetime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+shift. MVC Posted October 19, 2008 MVC Share Posted October 19, 2008 As mentioned earlier, it would probably be a good idea to have a "get 'em while their hot" kind of deal. But in the long run, I can't see this reaping much reward for Neowin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashy Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I might consider paying $150ish if some of the millions of ideas that have been thrown around for a few years baout extra aub services for higher money were actually done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted October 25, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted October 25, 2008 A friend of mine had a lifetime membership to a health club. He went there one day and the door was padlocked. He never got his money back. I would not subscribe to this or any other site for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Topham Hatt Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I do not subscribe (yet). I would be very interested in a lifetime subscription service. I would pay no more than $100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skulltrail-old Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Neobond has to retire some day! He must have kids, let one of them take on his 'legacy.' :D I say $100 would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jgrodri Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 some of the numbers sound a bit crazy. If neowin were to promote this, i'd argue for the 2.5 - 4x the yearly rate. I'd almost never consider subscribing to the site, but for 25 - 35 euros for a lifetime membership I would go for it on any given day, and I think quite a few others would also. There are a few things that would make this a sure seller: no more ads on the front page (who is the "genius" that thought of putting an ad in the middle of the front page???) plus the normal subscriber perks. Also, in order to keep long-term subscription fees high, you could limit the accessibility to purchase a lifetime member to people who have been users (not subscribers) for longer than two years, or require a one-year membership first, which would be credited towards the lifetime membership ( I think this would be best). A third option could be offering batches of lifetime memberships every two years or so, but i can see that creating a lot of complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
