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:

      these "editors" get paid by the amount of articles and not the quality of content; hence why we get this random stuff from the same "editor" time and time again.

      256 times the quality of an audio cd? I think audio cd's sound good so even twice as good as that would be something.

      The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc, with options to fine-tune their size and colors as desired. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had, taking time and effort to get back to the same graphics quality as the original offered, which I simply don't have enough of for merely fine-tuning my presentation titles. Same with the built-in picarts selection. Bring back the original pre-configured options for word art then I'll be using them far more frequently in my presentations even today.
