what's going on? and why doesn't the link work to find out about it?

[Echoes]

still testing

we'll let you knw when it's ready


if you want it that much you can get it now; under My Controls, click Purchase Paid Subscriptions, it's in there. It's basically a way you can donate to RFN, and get upgraded accounts as a thank you. I'd advise against getting it now; we're still adding stuff to the perks list, and besides, we need to come up with what we think would be the cheapest we can set it to cover costs(*). Never fear, we have the economics geniuses, adamski and mike, on the case, doing extensive market research(**)

tsk tsk, you've blown our cover now bradley...

[Echoes]

For quite some time now we've been wanting to give something back to the community, and to upgrade your accounts. Even with our fancy (costly) hosting, we can't do this for everyone.

So to reward people who generously donate to RFN, in return you get upgraded to a Pro Member account. Pending review, LIFE membership is just $10, whilst a one month trial for those thinking of donating to RFN. If you're uncertain about donating, we've got a 1 month option, too.

Depending on the feedback we get from you guys, we might offer shorter subscriptions in return for smaller donations. As the site grows prices may rise, so you might want to get in early.

Existing accounts stay as they've always been; but for a quick rundown of the added features of these enhanced accounts,
Click here: How/Why Donate?

We're still testing this feature. As things stand, you'll need an account with PayPal (free) to make the donation, but we hope to add other options soon. We might be giving away an account or two a prizes in the months to come, so stay tuned!

indeed.

and the plural of genius is genii. pronounced Geen-ee-eye for all you damn heathens.

[Eh! Steve]

If any of you have birthdays coming up, you could ask for RFN pro membership as part of your birthday present

[Forgone Conclusion]

Damn it! I just missed it! How about a belated birthday present?

[Echoes]

Nah

In view of how many US members have been joining up we've changed prices to dollars; that's basically halved the cost of Pro Membership!

We've also added a sexy new skin just for the Pro Members as an added 'thank you'

Quick reminder: why not try out the features with a Pro Membership Trial?

[LostHours]

I would like to sign up for the trial, because I really honestly intend to pay afterwards.

[Eh! Steve]

you have to pay for the trial too...

[Bear1992]

now to check my walet... cool dust!

[Echoes]

we certainly don't want you emptying your pockets; we just need a bit of help making this site bigger and better.

To find out more about donating and the features of Pro Membership, we've put some pages up with screenshots detailing how and why you should donate, as well as what's in it for you - enjoy!

Surely that's the best thing you could do with your money... anyway we could really do with donations because when we buy the licensed software it's gonna be a real kick in the nads...
