I honestly hadn't paid much attention to the 500 character limit in sigs...I'm more concerned with how tall they are and how flashy they can get. I'll look into upping the character limit for everyone.

I am sorry I meant Sigs not avatars.

The pluses to sites like this go well beyond just getting advice on how to keep a snake.

I am surprised you were able to keep it free for so long, and the key point is, as you noted, no one is being denied access to the site.

I belong to many sites where there are no avs, no profiles, no sigs, etc. So all the perks are just that.. fun, flashy little things. But fun flashy little things that eat up bandwidth and take time to implement.

Sorry I couldn`t give more but I was 2.0$ short in my paypal... and I needed a reserve so that if Stacey couldn`t pay hers I was gonna take one for the team so that we did not have to stare at her happy drunken av for 365 more days!!! :rofl:

We would have lots of snakes. A friend of mine was telling me last night about some ones "lazy BP" I realized all the horendus things that were going on! It was not because the person did not care it is because the person did not know. It was in a 150G tank!!!!! No heating!!! Nothing!!!!

If it were not for this site I know there would be alot of people with "lazy" BP's

Thanks BP net admin and mods for such a cool site!

...customizing your profile can get a bit addicting...kind of feel I am doing more harm than good to my profile. :P

[/QUOTE]Snail mail payments will have to clear first and then I'll make the change as soon as that happens. And I'm sure we can set it up to accept payments of multiple years...but keep in mind it's non-refundable. ;)[/QUOTE]
cool thanks

I missed this thread yesterday. Now onward to Paypal.

I am new to the site and BP community, but what I have learned here already could not be quantified! Thank you all for all that you do! I hope that I can be a more beneficial member in the future!

I've got the two year thing in the bag.... now I need to start saying stuff. :rolleye2:

I guess i can always switch to no avatar if i get tired of this one before 2015, which is when I should reach 200 posts at my current rate! :rofl:

:twocents: I think i'll start saving change until i get enough to buy a membership!

Question is it possible to be a Silver>Platinum member without having the icon for it?

SO what's the deal with hosting our own forum? I have an idea of what I want to do already! :P Do we get to create our own little subforum and run it? And how soon will this all happen...or am I missing something? :)

Any Platinum Member that wishes to have their forum set up should shoot me a PM and we'll talk about getting that set up for you!
