I won't subscribe because i find a lot of the content is taken and re-reported without any credit. [...]

Really? I read most of the news articles here and I've never seen the reporters write something without giving credit to the source by using an in-line link or something else.

Can someone please list ALL the features of Subscriber2 please?

We never get to hear of the secret forums or Beta Features? A little insight and more people would probably subscribe.

- Subscriber forum

- No ads on the site

- Early access to new features; for example: Subscribers were able to test Atlas before it was officially launched

- No flood control, longer edit time for posts

- The good feeling of having supported a website you care about.

Anything being tested now shiftyninja.gif? And is the Subscriber forum the Members metropolis (?) for Subscribers only?

Nothing is being tested at the moment, and the subscriber forum is separate from the Members Metropolis.

To find out more details you'll have to subscribe. ;)

Before i became a member of staff i subscribed to show my dedication, Love and support for neowin. When the tier 2 ad removal package came along, well that was a bonus!

If you ask me, Being a subscriber is not about buying features, its about supporting the site and getting some fun and features in return.

I don't subscribe for the extra bits - I just wanted to give something back after lurking for so long. The extra bits are nice though :)

+1 I subscribed for the exact same reason. I don't post much, hell, you could say I barely post at all, but I spend hours upon hours on neowin weekly so subscribing was my way of giving back to the community and the staff.

Yeah the bonuses seem small because we don't want to restrict members or force people into paying for content.

The Backstage Pass forum really is just a relaxed Members Metropolis that requires little or no moderation, which is the reason it's still there.

Ah. That's a dare.? :devil:

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
