As I’m sure many of you have noticed, we have put up a new subscription button on the website. This subscription area will be a pay area that will come with some perks you might have already enjoyed. Some of you might have not even known these perks were even available to you. The reason that we are going to offer this area and limit what you already had is simple. We our trying to make our site BIGGER, better and faster. By offering this as an exclusive area, it will help the website with optimized load times and restrict some of our members that abuse the current privileges. Some of you may see this as us trying to make money off of our members. That is not the case! Our community is funded completely by the Council and it is very expensive to maintain and continue to offer new things. Our community is by gamers for gamers. With that said the funds generated by our subscription area will go directly into paying for hosting, domains, basic up keep and enabeling us to continue to grow and offer new things for the members of our amazing community. Many sites for gamers don’t offer image hosting, the ability to post 3+ signatures, custom avatars etc, and we always have, only now it will be in one of our subscription areas. We all help the community in one way or another, now through the subscription program we can all be “contributing members”. As a contributing member I’m here to tell you it gets expensive to keep up with the demands that make our community so great and unique. We don’t want anyone to feel like they have to subscribe to this area. It is an area for our members who want to continue to see the website grow and give us the ability to continue to dominate the online clan community! By offering this subscription it will enable us to offer so many more things and upgrades.

Some of you might not be happy about this change and that is understandable, but before you get mad about it, I would like you to stop and think about the leaders of the community and how much money they have already put into our community to make it great. Realize that people just like you have funded it; average gamers who want make a community of like-minded gamers. We in NO WAY benefit financially from our community! We do realize that we need to continue to grow and accommodate the needs and requests of our gamers. By offering this area it will make it a lot easier to reach these goals.
