New subscription service will be launced on May 4th

Admin · Posted: 04-27-2009, 09:46 AM

Over the past few days, I'm sure many of you have noticed some changes with your account permissions. We are in the process of changing around a few things on the website so please be patient. We will be creating a few different usergroups, hopefully it will all be squared away by the end of the week. For now, if you feel that you should be in a certain usergroup (if you have over 150 posts and you aren't in the Basic +), please contact one of the administrators and have them change you to the correct usergroup.

All of these changes haven't quite taken effect at this point but they will be throughout the week.

**The Elite Membership will cost $5.00 per month, $13 if paid three months in advance, or $50 if paid for a year in advance.**

For anyone who donates at least $5 to Stuck Mic between now and May 4th and for all that have already donated, will be entitled to a lifetime Elite membership and unrestricted access to all the features on SM. You will never have to pay another membership fee as long as you are a member of the website. We are doing this so our current members have a chance to be grandfathered into this new system as some of you have been on here for quite some time and already used to the many features that we will be restricting.

Even if you don't subscribe as an elite member you have access to more free info here than any other atc website.

I'm sure there is more we offer free than you can find anywhere else too.

It is completely up to you if you would like to contribute or not. We are just offering al of our current loyal users to become lifetime members for basically nothing.
