now a paid version

Hey all, the previous forum admin used to pay annually for the forum. It's been the free version for awhile and I just paid for the advanced forum for a year. Please let me know if you notice any changes good or bad. Hopefully good!

Ads should be disabled for members but not guests.

Thank you.

Thank you! And if you ever need help footing the bill, let me know, and I'd happily chip in. Anything to keep the forum alive.

Thank you for the offer! It was only about $60, less than I expected to be honest.

I should have done it earlier, but it took awhile to get things worked out with the previous "founder" (douce plume) so I could be the founder, and then I forgot about it.

Yay!
The free version's ability to show so many ads based on what I'd previously looked at (even days ago) was often creepy.
Thank you!

I didn't get any notice that our paid version was expiring but I noticed ads today so I have paid for another year of no ads. If you are seeing them they *should* go away shortly.

I should note, ad free is only when you are logged in. It costs extra to have no ads for members and even more to have no ads for guests not logged in.

I greatly appreciate this being an ad-free forum! As KiraKira offered previously, when renewal time comes around I'd be happy to contribute as well.

Thank you!

I never get any notice when our paid version is about to expire! It just did and I just renewed it. Hopefully the advertisements will disappear soon.

Turns out even with the paid package it is extra moneys to turn off ads for members. They should be gone now.

Thank you for doing this for us!

Again, if you'd like us to chip in, just give us a link!

Thanks! If you'd like a donation, let me know.

Yes! I'd like to donate as well...

Thank you all for the donation offers! I can message my paypal address if you want to send me $10 - but participating in the forum is just as valuable if not more so!

I've noticed the forum seems to have slowed down considerably. I just upgraded our package to no ads for members OR guests (that's the new part). We'll see if it helps.

Our paid version expired. I just renewed it. So if you have noticed ads when logged in, they should be gone now.

Thank you! PM me with your PayPal address so I can contribute to the upkeep!

Sorry, I haven't been around for a bit. Just catching up now.

Although... kinda sad... other than somebody's trip to Italy, there isn't exactly an avalanche of unread new posts to catch up on.

I'll be back home soon and have access to Lipoca and Tez again soon, so I'll try to post some content.

Ergh, just realized our paid package has expired again. They never tell me! I will renew tonight or tomorrow.

Thank you for keeping the forum advertising free!

OK, back to no ads.

Thank you, True.

Time for renewal if anyone wants to chip in! (I'll have to do it tonight because I have to use the secret powerful founder email to log in and I don't remember the password.)

PM your PayPal?

That would be great. jane_easterly@hotmail.com
But if you want to wait until tonight, I'll know the total costs! Thanks!
