In response to a surge in bot registrations, undesirable activities, and increasing costs, we are transitioning to a paid membership system. This adjustment is aimed at ensuring our community comprises of members genuinely interested in contributing, thereby enhancing the quality of both the content and member interactions. For those existing members who are already verified and post without moderation approval, you need not be concerned about these changes - you'll be automatically exempted from any fees and will continue to enjoy your current posting privileges. Even if you currently post freely you can purchase a membership to enjoy a suite of benefits detailed below, your support would be deeply appreciated as it helps to cover our time and expenses to keep this forum operational and running smoothly.
Our revised membership plan now includes two payment tiers: monthly ($7) and yearly ($77). Payments can be made using a credit card.
We reserve the right to ban members in order to maintain smooth forum operation and create a positive, respectful learning environment. If a permanent ban is imposed, paid monthly subscriptions will be terminated without a refund for that month. For yearly subscribers, the membership will be cancelled with no refund for the remaining part of the year. In the case of a lifetime subscription, a ban will result in no refund. In the event of a temporary ban, your paid membership will continue as usual, unaffected by the suspension period. Please note that any attempts to circumvent a prior ban will result in an immediate new ban without any refund provided for your subscription. By choosing to purchase a membership, you agree to these terms.
Please note that even with a paid membership, your posts will require moderation approval if they fall below a specific count. Once you achieve the required post count, you will be able to post without prior approval.
To become a paid member, start by registering to the forum and answering the provided questions. Once a moderator approves your registration, click on your username at the top right of the forum and select "Account Upgrades". This will lead you to the purchase of your membership.
Paid membership offers numerous benefits:
