Forum Subscriptions are officially no longer available
We let the cat out of the bag a few weeks ago, letting people know why the subscriptions page is no longer available. This post is the official notice from Anand and myself on this subject.
We started subscriptions as a way to subsidize the rising costs of bandwidth and it was successful in accomplishing that task. With recent changes (advertising) the forums are now a more self sufficient application thus subscriptions are not required to keep the forums active any longer. We will be increasing the forum speed for everyone in the future (TBA), and also implementing a unified feature set for every forum user at that time. We will announce dates/timings once we get near the implementation date.
Existing subscribers will have access to the subscriber server for the duration of their subscription. Once the last subscription has ran out the server will be shut down.
Thank you for your understanding and contributions to what we think is an invaluable resource.
