Premium Membership

[AtmaWeapon]

Bah. Images are the evil, not text. I can make 500 characters fit in a ~700x100 space, which is less screen real estate vertically than my current signature. Sure people post poems, song lyrics, and other things that generally stick < 20 characters per line, but these people are told to quit. I just get frustrated when my signature is 200 pixels tall but I can't fit the quote I want because the link URLs and image URLs take up 2/3 of my character limit.

Anyway, I still say premium is a good idea, search is worth it. I was going to whine about it being a recurring fee, but then I remembered the places that charge a one-time fee for stuff like this have ad banners and charge for avatars and such, so this makes sense.

Oh and Jiggly:

1) I'm pretty certain PayPal requires a credit card, but then they turn around and want you to put bank info in to verify so it may be possible to do it without a credit card.

2) I'm also fairly certain that PayPal does currency conversion, as well. When it goes to fetch your money it will just request the equivalent of 7.50 USD.

So in short, I don't know, but I do have good guesses :)

Will donations be required to obtain/keep custom avatars and titles, or would it just work as a shortcut?

Just a shortcut.

PayPal doesn't require a credit card, just a bank account, but I still don't like it. I'll be mailing my donations in like the first one. I'm not really interested in the benefits (except maybe attachments) and please don't put a dollar sign by my name. As an ex-hippy I find that a bit offensive. I hope you get all the money you need...we love our AGN.

Just curious... how does the automated system know who to credit the donation to? Email address or some such? Would it be possible to purchase a membership for someone else?

[MottZilla]

I think that's a cool idea. I'd go for one, but I forget what my PayPal is, or if my PayPal is even valid anymore, or if the account is there or anything... :O Maybe I will later though, when I get back into the habit of buying things online.

If you can't pay through PayPall but still wish to buy a premium account, email War Lord. I'm sure you can work something out.

[Jigglysaint]

Well I should figure this out, if all I need is a bank account. I would have little problem if I can just make the payment out of my account.

Cool. Glad to see we now have a way to help AGN out. I'll probably sign up for the premium membership in the next few days.

btw, I'm curious...do you have another image to put next to user names to indicate a premium member instead of a dollar sign? I dunno what it is about the dollar sign...I'm just not crazy about it. I think a Triforce would be a good image

only $7.50? hell, I spend more than that a week! I'd gladly donate, even more than that if possible, but the only problem is I don't have a paypal account (assuming I need one), a credit card, or a bank account (that I can access freely, andyway). heck, if Warlord can accept a $10 in the mail, then I could do that!
