I believe I've signed up for the premium membership. Either that or I bought a prostitute. Could you confirm?

The coin by your name denotes the membership, so yes. Although if you'd prefer a prostitute, that can be arranged. 😊

Thanks for supporting AG.

I sincerely hope paid subscriptions don't branch out into the realm of perks that used to be free, or there will be some very angry shit flying around, and the plaintiffs aren't likely to limit it to GB.
I didn't like it when it happened to Graal, nobody liked it when it happened to IGN, and nobody wants it to happen to AGN, I'm sure.

Please, don't start with the drama. AGN's the same as it ever was, but now the paid subscription can give you a little extra.

Well said. It's against every administrators wishes to do something which would cause an uproar in the masses, and cause them to lose precious members. One disgusted member spreads disgust to others, and chaos ensues. (Then again, there is GB. 😉 🙄 😃 ) This seems like a blessing, wrapped in a very oily package. People look at it, and those who purchased it, and see something they might never want to see. But you're supporting your favorite forum by choosing it, much like supporting your country when voting. I firmly believe War Lord is opening the doors to something wonderful. And while I was unable to view the forums for several days for which it was up, (Kept referring me to a nonexistant page. :sweat: ) I was hoping the entire time, that it would go back up eventually. If War Lord needs support, how can we post here for so long and not give something back in return for all the good times we've had here?

I'll definitely sign up for one, probably for three terms. Hopefully many, many more. Just don't have paypal. :disgust: War Lord, I'm in *b*'s boat. Is it alright if I ask him for the information when he recieves it from you? 😊 (Thanks. 😉 )

If only my wallet stretched deeper...

You don't have to be from the US to get a Paypal account. I have sent money to Paypal members in England and the Netherlands for eBay items I won. You do need a source of funds though, whether that be a credit card or a checking account.

This is an excellent idea, and having it automatically setup like this is brilliant. I donated as soon as I could.

.. Or tried to anyway. Might not have gone through.

Edit: No, it did, its just clearing because of the payment option I had to use.

I guess i didnt clarify what i said. I added my australian saving account about 3 days ago. i have yet to recieve any verification or instructions from paypal to withdraw from this account. I have the option to use an american bank account, but i dont have one.

This is a very good idea and I'll gladly support. 😊 The package is well worth the money. If you do plan on adding more features how about a 1 time username change? I would be interested in this too since I'm using my real name Jimmy for quite a while now on several other communities. And how about colored names on the who's online?


* Can see users who are invisible on who�s online. Yep, definitely there.
* Can access the search function. Hell yeah..
* New Avatar Restraints (50,000 bytes rather than 20,000) A must. An absolute must.
* New Profile Picture Restraints (300x300 rather than 150x150, 50,000 bytes rather than 20,000) ... Now THIS, I have yet to see. (Or perhaps I simply have not tried this, despite the fact it still says 150x150. Perhaps I am delusional.
* Can store 500 Private messages rather than 50. You've made many, many people much happier with this gift.
* Can post attachments. A must in the ZC department. 😃
* Custom Avatar & Custom Title. ... Thanks.
* �Premium� Icon next to username in postbit. Coinage. Cool.
* [email][email protected][/email] e-mail address. (Web or POP access) A few questions on this...

Okay.. Concerning the E-mail account, a few questions..

1) Is there an expiration date on this? Ever? Obviously, the offer becomes void after six months, but does the E-mail account expire in six months, if already gotten?
2) What is the interface like?
3) Can we change our password?
4) Spam protection?
5) Size limit?
6) Where do you get in to the account? (I.e. what URL is the login URL?)
7) username / pass character limits?
8) What advantages are there in having an AGN E-mail account, as compared to saving a bit of AGN's space by using a Yahoo account?

I mean, I really have AGN's best interest at heart. I don't mean to pester. As long as AGN has my $7.50, I'm happy either way, benefits or not. (I passed over a trip to gamestop for this... you couldn't pry open my wallet with a crowbar.)

I'm currently using AGN Email for all AGN based things. It'll be nice not to have so much AGN stuff in my regular Email as I mostly just deleted them.

Can I send a money order or a check? paypal is not one to be on my top list of sending money. They messed up on 2 of my orders in the past. So I don't trust it at all.

Questions gone unanswered... Thank you for taking the time to answer. 😊

1) Is there an expiration date on this? Ever? Obviously, the offer becomes void after six months, but does the E-mail account expire in six months, if already gotten? That I don't know...
2) What is the interface like? There are 2 options to it...Squirrel Mail and V-Webmail. Both are easy to use interfaces.
3) Can we change our password? Not that I know of....But I believe War Lord can change it
4) Spam protection? You can set a blacklist of email not to accept.
5) Size limit? Big, that's all I know
6) Where do you get in to the account? (I.e. what URL is the login URL?) You will find out if you get a premium account
7) username / pass character limits?Your user name is the same as your agn name.
8) What advantages are there in having an AGN E-mail account, as compared to saving a bit of AGN's space by using a Yahoo account? Duh! Cause it's a AGN account!

Well, I answered all that I could. Hope it helped.

Thanks Glitch. 😉 I just don't want to trouble anyone for an E-mail account, when I already have five Yahoo accounts. Every little bit of space saved helps. :shrug: Thank you all very much though, anyway. I gave in money, and that's all I care about. 😊

You can have the @armageddongames.com email forward anything sent to it to one of your existing yahoo accounts. AGN has a bandwith limit of up to 50gigs (approximately) a month now.. It's not an issue of "saving space" anymore.

I have trouble putting money *into* my paypal account so I have to give the money to someone else and have them send money into my paypal account so I can send it to you. Do Foxy and I get a 'group membership' since we're on the same computer and have to get on AGN at seperate times? 😉

I think this is a great idea. I've been here so long and AGN has given me so much that anything I could do to help I would gladly. :thumbsup:

I'm just curious to know how much WL has recieved so far...

Millions of dollars actually... The stack of 100 dollar bills is really quite impressive

Well he's taking a trip to Florida in his new Lexus to play golf in a few months... :evil:

Just got back from the Bahamas, thanks everyone. 😉

The e-mail address thing is going to be put on hold until I can come up with a better way of administering it. The premium membership is still a hell of a deal, and I have more plans for the premium members soon.

It's not like the poeple of paypal are gonna touch you in your no-no spot...

Money orders are pretty expensive. It would be easier to throw 8 bucks in an envelope and mail it out to him. I'm sure if you PMed War Lord then he'd give you an address. I think it's something like;

Jarrod 'Little Dick' Weorrner
1405 Hick Rd.
Cracktown Ohio, 33456

That's wrong!

It's Woerner.
