fwstutterheim Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I have renewed my subscription too. I have no problems with Paypal by the way. However I cannot help wondering why I pay a fee to answer questions from people who have not subscribed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cian_perez Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I've been a member for while (circa 2000) and have benefitted greatly from this site even earlier before that. I'm a big fan of Philip Greenspun and have actually distributed his web-publishing book in classes I have taught. However, I was initially put-off when this place became subscription based, especially in light of Greenspun's open source mentality. But, alas, I'm aware those concepts are not truly the same, and the reality is nothing (worthwhile) is free - domains require registration fees, processors need upgrading, good software ain't cheap, and hard drives need replacing - so I've overcome my hesitation to fund this place which has been my photographic home for a while now. I've learned more from Philip's "How-To" pages and the community contributions than all of my photo books combined - and I have A LOT of photo books. So, Brian, before I actually subscribe, do you have a lifetime subscription option? I noticed somebody above who purchased two 3-year renewals (equating to 9 years of subscriptions?), which is something I'm considering doing but I thought I'd ask first before committing. Thank you.

mottershead Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 I'll add a lifetime (100 years) subscription for $200.00, which is less than 3 3-year subscriptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cian_perez Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Cool. If you're serious, I'll just do that option. Best regards, Cian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cian_perez Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 The deed is done! I also noticed that the lifetime membership was good for 150 years! Pretty kewwwwwlllll. Good thing too, since medicine is making strives every year. =P So am I the first "Photo.net Lifer?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottershead Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 Congratulations. Yup, you're the first. It's really a life membership. Right now, the system doesn't understand life memberships; so in 150 years it will ask you to renew. Let me know when that happens, and I will tack on some more time.
