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!

ok so to be clear we are not talking direct DB access for querying purposes like was mentioned at some point in the past few weeks/months? Just to be clear, because I would have been interested in that to draw some trends on SN data :)
I am guessing then that will be implemented in the form of "restricted" features accessible through the site itself.

Right, website features. I think what was previously discussed was hosting your own db on our servers as part of a subscription but that's not in planning at the moment that I know of. We can't exactly go giving out database access to our production db with a list of every user's email address in it; that's just not going to happen unless we all wake up evil one morning.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

Well.. then let's hope you guys don't run out of coffee.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
