Our neowin Clubs have gone, and it's ?3.99 to create clubs now :angry::

"At the moment there is no ongoing charge for running a Club but, in the future, we will introduce a fee (to be determined), which will be due every 30 days. We will not start charging a recurring fee earlier than 31st March 2009."

Who's gonna stump up for the "Official Neowin Club"?

They said clubs would cost a few weeks back when the beta kicked off.

I don't mind helping out towards one if we get a big enough NW base, but I'll hold out for now till things smooth out and we see how useful clubs could be.

32 people is the maximum that can join a club, 1 owner and 4 sub-owners I think.

Whats so special about a club that classifies it as premium content...?

Just wondering... not trolling

Not entirely sure all that's planned for them so far.

From the beta it was like a clan hideout.

Like an apartment, but it's called the clubhouse and up to 32 club members can occupy it at a time. Whoever buys it is clubleader, and you can have 4 sub-leaders.

There's a calendar and other stuff attached to update members. And in the beta there was a whiteboard... omgzzz! Haha.

Basically it looks like something that's clan/group orientated.

At the moment the maximum amount of people you can get in an apartment is 16.

I do think Neowin should have an official club though. Possibly run buy a member of staff?

I'd chip in

I've just been paid recently so we'll see :p

I'd rather get an idea of how many people on NW will actually first of all

a) Use their PS3 (we have a lot of actives in the PS3 forum who don't actually play games on their PS3s or even use it)

and

b) Have somewhat of an interest in Home, at least enough to say they'll use or keep track of the service if they ain't that keen just now

Cause if we only have like 6 potential members, it's not worth it :p There's a reason it's at a 32 cap!

Until I know more about clubs and their future potential, I'm a bit reluctant to pay for one as well. Fair enough there's no potential monthly fee till next year, but does that mean next year is when the big updates to them are planned?

Okay, I checked my bank balance and as I said just paid.

So, Neowin club, just search for "Neowin"

Only going to accept invites from people who actually use their PS3, as the club fills up at 32.

But to be honest I don't even know if we have 32 active PS3 NW members :laugh:

Just in case I can't sign in tonight, keep me a spot saved lol.

You think Home is THAT popular around here? LOL :laugh:

I'll hand out free booze to everyone if we reach 32 members by Christmas.

By the way it took me ages to get signed in :(

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
