[s]There will be a short downtime taking place tonight so that I can complete an upgrade to the back-end system data for members. (Hopefully 30 minutes or less! Chat WILL be available at that time!)[/s]
This is all in preparations for the New Year and the introduction of the 3 membership levels. All current Team Member accounts will become "Gold Members", or as I like to call them "GoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooldMembers". [;D] For the new year, we will introduce the two new memberships, a $20 Bronze membership and an upgraded Platinum membership. Information on the changes will be posted in the membership section. (Check the menu on the homepage! Info should be up later today!) Basic changes you need to know about include: Spell Check, Search, My Active Topics moving to the new bronze memberships. The reason for these items moving away from public use is simply due to resource usage they are responsible for. None of these functions are essential to daily enjoyment of the site and fall under niceties. ($20/year works out to roughly $1.67 a month!) [i]There are plans to get site MIRRORS up this year to help even out bandwidth usage. When this becomes active, we will re-evaluate our situation and needs.[/i] One of the focuses for 2003 is the development of the Archive Server. This will be a dedicated "READ ONLY" server where all posts older than 6 months will reside and be searchable. The archive search engine will allow for very complex searches, including the body of messages. The interface will be similar to what you're used to, you just wont be able to reply or add content to those posts. This server will be available to all of the Team Memberships.

After being upgraded to a Gold Membership, one team member altered his physical appearance...

Just a quick question ('cause I'm an impatient bastard [:D] )
If you join at the Bronze level, can you upgrade your membership level a couple of months later for the difference in price? |
|
Platinum is looking good. It's my New Year's Resolution. [:)]

TBK1 - That was funny!
GB - seeing how I have a meeting at 7PM PST, I would request you do your little "thing" at that time, as not to interfere with [b]my[/b] enjoyment of the site. [;)][:D] |
|
Why certainly you may, [b]Green_Furniture[/b], so long as you don't change your name to [b]Auric The Hun[/b]!
OK? Eric The(EasilyConfused)Hun[>]:)] |

GB, I paid membership about a year ago, will I receive a notice to renew? I wanna upgrade to platinum, can I do it in 2 payments? Thanks.....
|
|
GB set me up!! you have mail from sdavid 'bout some stuff.
Thanks for giving us all a place to play. |

Isn't "Gold Member" a movie?
How about we call it something like Gold Team and Silver Team. I dunno..."Gold Member" sounds too...phallic [;)] |
|
Phallic, shamilic,
How about the .223 team and the 7.62 team.... wait my AR is in 7.62 never mind. |
|
Can't wait to be a po'bronze folk!
So, after the 1st, it'll be ready? |
|
Wow, didn't know that your membership "status" was going to be shown by the user name....
Kind of like the whole Star Belly Sneech thing... Bronze Member = "I'm a chump - troll my threads!" [:D] |

[=)] Everything is all set for these, so no need to wait till the first, they are ready to rock and roll. I even tested the new photo sever code for the Bronze Memberships! (To ensure they could upload Sig&Bio pics! [;)]) I will begin upgrading and adding new members later tonight or tomorrow. There's a few final things for me to check on! |

I'll do it tonight! Can you take CC or is it still the PayPal way? |
|
Ok, I joined via PayPal. See IM GB, I forgot to include my arfcom user ID.
|
|
Got a few small updates I will push up and then upgrade the accounts.
Did you guys want me to pull off the "Gold Member" crap? I honestly put that in to ensure things were working and in prep for a new upcoming "toy" for everyone... [;)] If I dont get to the accounts tonight, I will do them tomorrow... finishing some testing as we speak! |

|
So that's what happened...I was able to change my avatar, and I noticed that it says 'gold member' which I hadn't noticed before.
I personally don't have any problem with the naming of the membership levels, but how about... Bolt action membership (bronze) Semi auto membership (gold) Full auto membership (platinum) DD (Destructive Device) membership (staff, admin) Just a thought...not necessarily a good one. CJ |
|
Well, crap! I wanted to be the first Platinum Member. I ended up having to work late. Oh well, I guess I can settle for "one of the first." [:D]

Auric Goldfinger!
Sheeeeesh. Don't you boys do nothin but read gun porn? |

GoatBoy,
There is a problem with using your PayPal link. A note box does not appear, so I could not place my user name anywhere in the PayPal order form. The e:mail address I use is not my ar15.com account. I will send you an e:mail to [email protected], to give you user name information. You might want to ask for a "note" box to appear so future subscribers to the site can leave user name information for you. |

|
Did I ever mention that paypal sucks? [=)]
Holidays threw me off, but we should have the CC setup ready to go soon!!! Damn I need sleep... gonna push up some changes now. |

Quoted: How do we upgrade our existing membership? -Gloftoe View Quote Check your expiration date and email me. [;)] Basicaly, you just need to cover difference in memberships for the remainder of your membership year or renew at the new rate if it's renewal time. (If you renew now it will extend your anniversary by a year from THAT date, not the day the account is upgraded. Everything revolves around the initial date. [=)]) BTW - I upgraded all the accounts and now I am off to bed... 2am and I am totally on fumes. Night all! |

OK. You guys know how I feel about My Beloved Corps, but I just HAD to change my avatar!

GoatBoy,
I just got through using PayPal for a bronze membership. I did not see a place to include my user name. I hope this does not cause any confusion on your end. Great website! Chris |
|
Paypal on the way for a Gold membership. E-mail address before the @ is my AR15 username.
|
|
Goatboy, I sent paypal to [email protected] but I didnt use the link. It has a note with the name of the person who the membership is for.
|
