Future rate increase.....
and no, it won't effect your current recurring subscription if you are already a member
I've been debating this for a few months now but because of increased cost from the network operating center where the server DF is maintained on plus the plan on moving to a bit of a more robust system it's no longer going to be the same $1/mo it has been for years. The change will more than likely take place this Sunday(so if you aren't a member yet and have been thinking about it now's the time) and it will $2 for 6 months and $20 for 12 months...having tiered pricing like that makes a bit more sense to me.
And again, if you are currently subscribed your current subscription rate won't change. If your current subscription expires which normally occurs due to the subscription itself being cancelled at some point and you need to resubscribe(there is normally a two week window between a subscription expiring and a user being completely removed)with the same username you will still be presented with the same $1/month option; if you are completely removed from from DF where your username no longer exists due to a subscription expiration and not renewing within that time frame then you would need to start over at the new price point. How subscriptions work can be found at the FAQ at http://www.doll-fan.com/kb/3/ for those who have not perused it yet.
Anyway, feel free to post your questions/concerns if you have any.
thanks,
Steve
btw, I'm probably going to be doing a fairly large board update here in a bit. If you see any funkiness it is more than likely due to that. I'll post when I'm done.

Re: Future rate increase.....
Gotcha! I would have noticed a board annoucement update though, if the title didn't say "future rate increase" I didnt read it because I would pay it no matter what..well as long as it was reasonable, but based on what the current charge is, I would guess it would be.. So, sorry I did not see the update to the board post..
PS> Great board and you do a great job running it! Thanks..

Re: Future rate increase.....
I renewed my subscription yesterday at the old prices but would not care if it was a bit more. Thank you for explaining it all Steve and this forum is much cheaper than a shrink! I must have a place to come and share my passion of dolls with all of my friends.
Hugs,
Diane

You have a current subscription to DF and did it via PayPal...you can see what you have paid via your member area at http://www.doll-fan.com/amember/member.php Your current subscription is $12/12 months and will continue at that. The FAQ for PayPal subscriptions is at http://www.doll-fan.com/faq/category/2/paypal.html
thanks,

Re: Future rate increase.....
I paid $12 then it said I canceled which I didn't it still took the $ but if I check, it gives me the option to subscribe to doll fan... do you know what's going on? I don't want to lose my user name if it's un subscribed me. I have been subscribed since 2002.

What you see is the ability to subscribe to a gallery..not the forums. The FAQs for PayPal and cancellations is at http://www.doll-fan.com/faq/category/2/paypal.htmlGina wrote:I paid $12 then it said I canceled which I didn't it still took the $ but if I check, it gives me the option to subscribe to doll fan... do you know what's going on?
