Supporting
Member Program
We would
like to thank all of the members of Corvetteforum who have helped us grow
to become a fun and informative Corvette community over the years.
We could never have imagined when we had our first few members sign up
to the first version of Corvetteforum on a small shared server that we
would end up with the enormous community that we have today. We serve
between 40 and 50 million page views per month. Well over 40,000 unique
visitors come to the site everyday. We now buy bandwidth by usage per
second instead of megabytes per month!
This level
of activity is a blast. Whether you need a tech question answered or need
to know WWOTD (What Would Off Topic Do) you are going to get an answer
very quickly. The downside is that we push the limits of available software.
A site with our traffic level starts to break software. It requires a
much more sophisticated backbone to stand up to the load. We have managed
to keep the site running (for the most part!) so far.
We have
ongoing plans to continue to improve the site functionality
and performance. We will be taking steps to improve response times and reliability as warranted.
We have
managed to keep the site free to the members since we started in in the late 90's. We
are still going to do so. The Supporting Member program is a completely
voluntary way to contribute to the site and get a few extra perks for
doing so. If money is tight or you would just rather not contribute financially
you are encouraged and more than welcome to continue as you do today.
:)
The perks
are outlined in the table below. The Lifetime Member and Lifetime Gold
plans are just that. As long as you and Corvetteforum are around you will
retain your status. It is a one time payment.
If you
choose to become a Supporting Member it is very easy to do so. You can
choose to pay with a credit card via Authorize.net or you can just send us a
check. To contribute via Authorize.net go into your User
CP from the top menu of the forums. Scroll down until you see Paid
Subscriptions in the left side menu. Choose the plan you would like
and follow the prompts.
To pay
by check please make it out to Corvetteforum. Be sure to put your username
on the check! Send it to:

Thanks

The legal stuff - While
we will do our best to continue to operate Corvetteforum.com there is no
guarantee of continued service. Supporting Members must follow all forum
rules just as non-supporting members. Supporting Member status does not
grant any special consideration when member banning is considered due to
breaking forum rules. Refunds will not be granted to Supporting Members
who are banned for breaking forum rules. |
