You didn't look very hard...

I believe an official announcement is coming soon regarding subscription services, which will announce the discontinuation of the service. Existing subscribers will still have access to the subscriber servers until their subscription is up.

I don't know any further details on that.

Cheers.

I did look hard. I just didn't look on the 2nd page. :eek: Thanks.

Wonder why they would discontinue it? I really like the speed.

I wonder if the forums is closing shop anytime soon. Doomsday is near. I would be willing to open another forum just for us LOL yeah right.

Hey, if it ever comes to that, I can help out, just send me an e-mail if we ever need to go that far, but I don't think they'll just let the forums die out...

Exactly. I love this speed I get now. I also enjoy the PM limit.

It's probably for the better, a lot of the subscriber features never came through.

I know, I've tried re subscribing several times for that exact same reason!

Every time I delete a message in my PM's I feel like I'm playing favorites and or screwing someone over.

I think I need therapy....

This pisses me off, when the official announcement is made I hope they list the reasons why they're doing away with this.

I would like to re-subscribe for a few more years if that's an option, why would they turn away free money?

The only way to satisfy us ex-subscribers would be to do away with the ads and increase our PM limit (even 500 is a huge improvement over 100).

Since I am here would people mind helping me test out RossMANtech.com, this is only a test. Please sign up for multiple web hosting accounts, do not send me any money. Please also register for the support system and submit multiple support tickets!

Thanks!

Damn you mother f%$#@ for bringing me out of my hermit stage!!!

Rossmantech.com was registered as a joke, a while ago a Hot Dealer remarked that I should register rossmantech.com so I did.

The real web hosting domain is HostForFree.net which will be FREE web hosting for Anandtechers with 50MB/500MB, cPanel control panel, Fantastico auto install scripts, FTP, email, webmail, MySQL, PHP, Perl, CGI, etc. I just have to decide between $20/mo and $50/mo.

I received a PM reply from Zuni, I guess the payment processor is no longer connected and it's now in Anand's hands. I told him that I would like to pay for 3 years of AT subscription for $90 if Anand gives the ok.
