It is active now :) It's an immediate change.

If anyone should have any sort of problem with their subscription, please do not hesitate to contact an Administrator and we will sort out the problem ;)

Congratulations and thanks to the entire Bp.Net staff for all of the hard work that I'm sure it took to put these new features into place and to test them in order to make the "bullet proof" for the membership.

I've watched this site grow so much over the past 4 years and I'm super excited about this next big step for the best reptile community on the net. These new membership options will not only put some really great features and benefits into the hands of the Bp.Net diehards but will also allow the site to reach for even greater heights in both features, scalability, and performance.

I'm darn proud to be a member and thank the entire Bp.Net crew (both members and staff) for making this place one of the best sites I've ever had the pleasure of participating in!

The positioning of the icon is limited by how the software works. Not that some genius couldn't figure out how to do some custom coding to rearrange things, but right now all our resident geniuses are super-busy! :P

I would like to see some what of an expanded avatar. I do not think we should have huge avatars as that would take away from the site. I like the no more then 10 lines size, the only complaint I have is the 500 character rule. Could we maybe change this? I understand and respect your decision either way.

I shudder to think where Stan and I would have been left just with the advice given to me by the reptile store that sold him to me.

We did allow for larger avatars with the subscriptions. Not giant...but bigger than the current standard. ;)

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.

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. ;)

Considering what we save in vet bills from proper husbandry, preventative measures, and what not... it is a small price to pay. Not to mention the finder fees for when we connect with another person that has a great snake to sell, or wants to purchase from us.

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:

:b0x0rz:

Also... I did not want to be stuck with Spaghetti Cat as my av for another full year!!!
