The box is suppose to grow bigger with rep but I haven't seen it happen.

On all of the other forums I'm a supporting member there is some sort of incentive to donate. While that incentive wasn't really needed in this case (the fact that CD can continue to exist is good enough for me) it may be needed for some other members. Other forums I'm on have done things like allowing larger signatures than normal, custom user titles (which are editable by all on here), different color names to differentiate between supporting members and regular members, small badges saying supporting member, larger PM box etc. I'm sure some of these could be implemented here without much fuss, should someone want to pursue them.

The subscribers do get the advertising from the top of the page removed. :)

I'm willing to bet that a fair amount of people use Firefox with Ad-Block Plus, so they don't see the ads anyways. I personally use both. (However, seeing this thread reminded me about them, and I'm going to purchase a subscription.)

Ad Blocker doesn't recognize CD ads unless you tell it to. I personally have CD on a whitelist.

I think it does but I'm not sure.

My PM can store up to 470 messages, which seems a bit to random of a number to be intentional.

I never noticed this... I just logged out and logged back in and saw that they appeared and then disappeared. Cool.

It's 47 X 10. Mine's been like that forever.

47 is a theme in the limits on CD, I can name two other places it pops up.

Spoiler for What are they?:

Spoiler for 1:
The max number of characters in a post is 4747.

Spoiler for 2:
You must wait 47 seconds between posts.

Seems like you have a knack for following my posts and correcting them... :D

I never even would've made the 47 x 10 connection... maybe for paid supporters the box could be 47 x 100?

4700 PMs before I have to purge? I'd never need that much, ever (says the guy who agreed with Bill Gate's statement "who'll ever need more than 640k?") :o

I just gave my first subscription! 15 bucks for 2 years is a steal for how useful and irreplaceable CD is to the whole FIRST community. Its a great thing to donate too also.

Can't believe I've never noticed this and never even thought about it. I'm in.

Mega Bump!

Just renewed mine. $15 for 2 years is WAY LESS than most other useful popular sites. It's almost a non-negotiable for me since the CD forums and community has helped my team and I so much over the last 3 years.

Anything to keep Chief Delphi up and running. What a great resource.

Now only if we could get eery team out there to use it...

Bumpin' this. I just went in for 2 years. Thank you, CD, for being there for FIRST teams the world over.
