Subscriptions Live on SoylentNews; Please Support Us

from the help-us-become-financially-independent dept.

It's been a long, hard road to this point, but I'm pleased to announce that effective immediately, we are officially accepting subscriptions to SoylentNews. Subscription support is an important step in helping make SoylentNews successful as an independent entity that is fully funded by its users. In case you don't remember, here's the rundown of subscription features:

  • Subscriber badge (toggleable)
  • Early access to features
  • Exemption from ads if we ever run any
  • Full comment histories/access to database-intensive operations
  • No rate limiting or spam filtering

You can purchase a subscription on your user panel, or by clicking this link. Subscriptions are $20/year, and you can be reminded via email when that period is coming to an end via subscription settings. All payments are currently processed by PayPal, but we hope to add new merchant support in the future.

Here's hoping to seeing lots of stars in the near future!

    Maybe I've missed it, but I don't see any pricing information. I've clicked on the subscription link (http://soylentnews.org/subscribe.pl) and it doesn't tell me how much it costs or if it's a one time charge or recurring. After clicking on the Paypal link, I see that it wants to charge me $20, but again I don't know if that's for 1 month or 6 months or forever.

    I think the subscription page should include this information so that it's clear to the user.

    Price is an epic $20/year. We should probably clarify that in the article.

      And on the subscriptions TAB itself, since this article will scroll out of site soon.

      No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

      I just had this image in my head of Ethanol Fueled taking out a loan so he could keep posting on SN.
