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:

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
