Becoming an ICMAGAZINE (online) Subscriber.....Please Help....

I.C.Magazine online has come along way in the 4 years since it was launched here on the internet. We have seen it grow expotentially with many interested and interesting members joining us to share their joys in growing and using the plant that brings us together creating a community with a common interest.

As the site has grown so to has the costs of keeping it here for all to use for free. The server and bandwidth costs have now got to a level that I now find difficult to cover from my own pocket.

To be able to upgrade the site and keep it current and exciting with new features also requires funding to employ a technical professional to accomplish this...

So to off-set these costs I have decided to ask for ICMAG Supporters to subscribe to this site.

The ICMAG Supporters once subscribed will have the title 'I.C MAG SUPPORTER' next to their user handle (just like I do have now)... and access to a subscribers forum where upon the request of the subscribers I can make sub-forums for those that might want them for any particular related topic.....

ICMAG Supporters will also have the opportunity to aquire rare and unusual genetics in seed form thru special privaledges to purchase pre-releases and rare varieties from various breeders and these 'specials' and how to get them will be advertised only in the subscribers area......along with other offers not open to the regular membership.....Also each Supporter will have up to 1 whole gigabyte of gallery space....far more than the current 150 megabyte limit as a regular member.....

For many members the beauty of the subscribers forums will be that they will be troll free and a place on the site that you can get together with other supporters without the rude interruptions and interferances that we see on the regular forums from members that are just here to cause trouble and disscontent.......

So if you wish to help ICMAGAZINE.COM.....the best way to do it right now is to subscribe.......Subscription is completely voluntary and hopefully I can find enough of you willing to help out to make a sizable dent in the costs of keeping the site up and running and here for all to use.

Subscription costs will be $250 for lifetime subscribers membership... $100 usd for 1 year.....$75 usd for 6 months......or $50 usd for 3 months.........for conversions into other currencies go to www.xe.com ICMAGAZINE will accept any major currency.......

Please send your subscription along with your ICMAG.COM user handle (so that we can activate your subscribers account) to :I.C.Magazine, Unit#2. 22 Eden Street, Kingston-Upon-Thames, Surrey, KT1 1DN, U.K. (United Kingdom)......

*when sending cash or Money Order (only) for your subscription to ensure delivery please use an 'overnite' service.......if you use the regular post there is a very slim chance a letter may get lost......make your M.O. payable to 'ICM'....

....as soon as we receive your subscription we will activate your ICMAG supporters account.

Thank-you for your kind indulgence....

Hi Gypsy! I'm really in. Just wanna know how a lifetime subscription works...

Will it be personal or connected to the username/nick. (I really just wonder if it will be possible to change handles after subscription to ICMAG?

PS! You have any overnight carriers to recommend? (I don't know any but DHL around here, but not sure how it works out though.
(Is Western Union or Forex ok or is that something else maybe?)

I like it and will be sending in my money. I think you came up with a great package and I'm not just saying it. I hope others agree and you can get the funds you need for the site. I like the fact on the prerelease on seeds and specials. I think that's what got me and also having more space for your gallery. Just my 2 cents and I think it's a great idea.
Take care,
BG

Well the upside is it is not mandatory, So it isnt as if gypsy is forcing anyone to pay here, Just merely givin us all the option to help support the site.

Thats what im thinkin.Some might not want to,but some will.Will we be able to make payments to $250.Like can i send 50 now and before that ends send another amount until the 250 is paid in full , before a year ends?Peace and stay safe,PVP

**Babbabud** · 02-25-2008, 12:38 PM

yes and are their family rates for the people like the mrs and I that have more then one family member from the same household ? heheh

Well, if there was any site I'd pay into it'd be this one, since og has gone the way of the T-rex. But its a little too rich for my blood, I'm with red. If it was a bit less, more ppl might "bite"... (like me)

Peace

**Gypsy Nirvana** · 02-25-2008, 01:59 PM

$100 divided by 365 days of the year works out at 27.3 cents per day.......or 1.13 cents per hour of use.....so says this calculator here......how much did that cup of coffee....can of soda.......or pint of beer next to you cost?

I'm not going to entertain a payment plan.....(the administration nightmare scenario glares at me)...... Babba's (Mr and Mrs).... since you both have helped out as Moderators in the past you get a free subscription anyway.......can't really charge the Mod's now can I?

....Subscriptions are not transferable to any new nick you might want to create...(more admin nightmares) and cannot be inherited nor used as part exchance for a new car or vacuum cleaner......

.....Subscribing to ICMAG.COM is certainly not mandatory........if you can afford it and want to help out then by all means become a subscriber......we could use the help to at least pay for a part of the overheads of keeping the site here......
