Woah, the site looks weird without the banners.
I like it this way though

Oops, I let my subscription lapse. Sorry about that, CD.

Thanks for everything,
Jane

I'll have to say that it looks almost too weird without the ads with this being my first subscription. I opted to go for the 6-months only also for two reasons, the whole point is that we are donating money to support this site, so why try to save $5, I find that cheap. Also I don't have $15 at the moment. lol

Is there a possibility to add automatic recurring subscriptions? That would definitely help out a bit with those who are forgetting and would like to keep on sending some e-funds your way.

I believe you get an email or PM reminder.

And hey, isn't this a lot less annoying than Pledge Break Weeks on PBS?

I know paypal has a feature that allows recurring subscriptions--it would have to be implemented within the CD link, but I know it's possible.

[synth3tk]

Weird, I don't think I got that email or PM. But, if you say so.

Is it possible to get a special icon/logo in our info bar on posts, like "Active Donor" or something like that?

While I like that idea ... That type of recognition could be resented by those who choose not to participate, and I suspect that Brandon would prefer to keep the financial support completely optional. Besides, the banner advertisers want SOMEONE still looking at their ads ...

Personally I believe EVERYONE should sign-up. I mean, c'mon, this is one of the best deals you will EVER find ... anywhere!!

I agree, except that I would say it could be offensive to those who CANNOT participate. Remember, $5 to some people is a decent amount of money.

Actually I would like to see the adds. I would like an option to still see them.

"quick links > supporters" above and you can check them out any time you want ...

While $15 is a bargin, why not go for the higher price since this is the "best deal around". $5 extra won't put you in bankruptcy, and if it does, start looking for pennies on the ground.
