SUBSCRIPTION MYTHS ANSWERED

Headadmin

Ok, everybody there is alot of speculation and rumors flying around about the subscription area and the community as a whole. First off Xiled Gaming does not make any money it looses money every year, we have no sponsors, this community is paid for by the council alone and nobody else. Secondly the subscription area is totally VOLUNTARY, you dont have to subscribe. The money generated by this subscription area will go to pay for the web hosting, domain names, software and other costs associated with sustaining our community.
In the future we would like to continue to grow and add new features to the community, like better ladders and websites as well as giving perks back to our gamers and leaders. Also we would like to have prizes for tounaments (cash, games, microsoft points, t-shirts and gamer gear).

Registered Members (FREE): you will be able to have a avatar, a signature and 50 private messgaes
The reason for this is that all the images on our site are eating up all bandwidth and resources on the server, this costs us more money for hosting, if you would like to have extra pictures and perks, you can join one of the subscription areas (ONCE AGAIN COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY).

This is the pricing scale that we are thinking about.

Silver Members ($10.00 a year): you will get
custom avatar
profile pic
2 signatures
100 private messages
25 image hosting ability
access to the XG Lounge non-moderated Silver Members forum

Gold Members ($15.00 a year): you will get
custom avatar
profile pic
3 signatures
150 private messages
50 image hosting ability
access to the XG Lounge non-moderated Silver and Gold Members forums

Platinum Members ($40.00 per century): you will get
custom avatar
profile pic
4 signatures
200 private messages
100 image hosting ability
access to the XG Lounge non-moderated Silver, Gold and Platinum Members Forums
one of the Xiled Gaming t-shirts (any style kog, syn, xgc or family tree) with your gamertag or clan name on the back

Once again this is totally voluntary you do not have to subscribe to be on the forums and do all the usual things, only if you want added perks.

Yes, thank you to Jangles for clearing this all up with me. I spent a lot of time just looking for the news forum! I had to just check my old posts to click back into the area.... Anyways, yeah. Platinum sounds like it. And as I just IMed to Jangles - first person to make it to the next century and have to pay another $40 wins! Starting now! *Waits for you all to die so I win :)*

Recently, Generals had been given more space for PM's than they were previously aloted, due to the fact that they recieve more that your average XG gamer. (from 100 to 300)

The guys I've recruited into my clan are pretty active, not Super active, but there on my forums. But,they do send me alot of PM's. :D Which is great as they can talk/type more, and it shows me how involved they are and want to be.

Although I'm going to subscribe, I just figured I'd only need the silver as I only wanted the sig I made and avatar I'm currently using, and my boys ordered me a t-shirt already as a present. :)

My question is, are Generals still going to have this benifit, or do I need to come up with the 40?

(I'm sorry to have to ask as I know 40 doesn't seem like that much to some, but my wife has MS, money is tight, insurance company's are leeches, & I barely justify to myself paying for my XBL subscription & a game or 2 a year as it is)
Thanks

You missed XGG... No t-shirts for us??? :(

From the beginning of the uproar over the disappearing sigs, I have felt that whatever came out of it would be a reasonable offering, especially considering all of the work that you have already put toward the community for free. Thank you guys for proving me correct, once again.

I do agree with Sentinel, though, that 50 messages for a General is probably low, considering how many issues that we already have with the Super PMing of the Generals group.

And I hope that the unmoderated forums will allieviate a lot of the current drama regarding the moderation of the website.

Can't wait until Sunday's meetings to get more questions answered!

Dude, instead of just being a nagative pain in the butt, why not send me a message or another leader a message directly with your concerns?

Last I checked, we have an ASK THE LEADERS forum areas, PRIVATE MESSAGES, EMAIL and instant messenger which can be accessed right from our site. Couple that with our OPEN Door policy and not sure why anyone feels that have to constantly get on a PUBLIC forum and bash their leaders or express their opinions about stuff which they do not know all the facts about. People can surely disagree and have their own opinions. However, common sense and maturity has to prevail over what we have witnessed on our forums from our members in leadership positions.

This is not solely directed at you Marksmen, you just happen to have posted above something that spawned a reply. I hope others read this and follow it as well.

Blondii the only ppl affected by the PMs thing is registered users. we talked last night and for the leaders the PMs stay how they are because they know that we need them to continue to work successfully. CHEA!!!
