Pretty soon you will see the implementation of a Premium Forum User group. This group will have all of the same forum benefits and privileges enjoyed by Power Wagon Advertiser subscribers.
One change will have to do with images. Most forums currently do not directly host images, instead requiring that you use a web based image hosting service. This is because hosting images has, as database size grows, ever increasing cost with regard to site operation. The forum site's database has grown considerably in size since these forums began, and as you might guess, we cannot run the site at a loss.
Moving forward you will see that Power Wagon Advertiser magazine subscribers and Premium Forum Users will be able to host images for free as it is for those subscribers who pay for this site. With the exception, of course, of those generous forum users who choose to donate in support of the forums. Their kindness is greatly appreciated.
Other users who are not magazine subscribers or premium users will not be able to have their images hosted by the site. This is a going forward kind of change, meaning; all images already in place will remain as they are. The removal of image hosting privileges and certain other benefits will be removed from the standard forum user group over a near-term period of time
Other privileges that will be enjoyed by the Subscriber and Premium User groups will be avatars, the search function, emailing other users, access to the subscriber forum [which will likely be renamed subscriber & premium user forum]. As content is developed, there will be site content that is accessible only to subscribers and premium users. Added benefits will be announced as they occur.
There has been enormous site growth with accompanying operating costs in the years of operation since startup of the PWA forum site. It is our feeling that those who support the forums should be rewarded for their dedication and loyalty. This is our way of providing that reward.
Those wishing to receive these added benefits and functions may subscribe to the forum via their UserCP [user control panel]. Once you are inside the UserCP, on the left, down, low, you will see a link called Paid Subscriptions.
Clicking on that link will provide a drop down where you may choose a time period of one or two years. Continuing on, you will be provided a mechanism with which you may use a credit card to make payment. It is administered by Paypal, but you need not be a Paypal member and you need not use a Paypal account. You may use a conventional credit card. They have it set up so that is not immediately obvious, for apparent reasons that they promote themselves, but there is a continue link just above the credit card company logos that allows you to use a regular credit card.
This is not a recurring charge. The option to set it up that way was offered, but I feel that people most prefer circumstances that do not renew charges. This means that when your benefits expire, you need to go back in and subscribe again with your credit card.
