I have decided to go back to the recurring subscription method we originally had for donations instead of continuing with the one time/lifetime donations we have in place now. The changes will only be for new supporters. All members that have donated prior to May 1, 2005 will remain lifetime members and may continue to donate and upgrade their levels.

New supporters may donate anytime day or night and receive their benefits immediately if paying through PayPal, instead of having to wait for me to check my email for a notice of payment. This means instant privileges for them, more sleep and offline time for me, and possibly a vacation with my family this Summer!

All Subscription Levels:

Diamond: $500 - lifetime
Platinum: $250 - lifetime
Gold: $100 - 1 year
Silver: $50 - 6 months
Bronze: $25 - 3 months
Liberal: $25 - 3 months
Trial: $10 - 1 month

As you can see, I have added 2 new levels:

Trial Level Supporter
Same benefits as a Bronze Level, except there is no access to the private Back Room and Community Supporter forum or board search functions. Also, Personal Messaging storage is 25 and not 75 as Bronze Level.

Diamond Level Supporter
Same benefits as a Platinum Level Supporter, except they have donated $500 or more.


Also, I am making a change to the 1000 post non donor group. It will now be 500 posts. I feel 500 posts provides more than enough time and experience to make a decision. So, once a Community-Supported member hits 500 posts, they will be placed in this new group and be limited in their posting abilities just as the Registered Guests are.


How to Make Your Community Supporter Donation (for new Supporters starting May 1, 2005)

Donations may be made using this page or clicking on the Purchase Paid Subscriptions link located under the Options category in your control panel.


All Subscription Plans

When a subscription has come full term, the transaction will be marked as "expired" and the member can then choose to re-subscribe. Each member may only have one "live" transaction to their name, which means they can only subscribe to one package at a time. Members may subscribe again if their transaction is "expired", "failed" or "dead". A "dead" transaction is usually caused by removal of the subscription package they were subscribed to.


Upgrading Your Existing Supporter Level

Donations for upgrades may be made using this page. Only upgrades to 1 year and lifetime packages (Gold, Platinum & Diamond) will be processed, except for the members that had donated prior to May 1, 2005. To upgrade your existing Community Supporter level, simply donate the amount needed to bring you to the next level. If you are unsure of the amount you have in your account, please contact an administrator in the forum or send an email to service-at-rightnation.us.
