Originally posted by RussJust my opinion Russ, but I think you should just apply the increase equally to everyone. Keep it simple.
[This increase will NOT affect current subscribers who used a credit card and have the recurring billing in place. It will continue to be the price at which you subscribed forever more. (I really shouldn’t make promises like that!) So, this change will only impact those who take up a new subscriptions from February onwards, or those who need to renew because they made a ‘single payment’ subscription (that is, they sent me a check/cheque).
$20. per year, starting in February. When the current subscription expires, the new rate will be in effect.
No hassles, no bookkeeping confusion, etc.

Marc
If anyone does want to go up to the new tariff (and I really want to stress - no one is under any obligation to do so) wait until 2checkout send you an email warning you that subs are due and then let me know. I will need to cancel the current order, so you can then place a new one. But please don't think that this is necessary.

I'm with Marc on this issue, one product, one price. Admin should be earning real money out of this website, not running a part charity. Sure me the customer might be a bit irritated that i gotta pay more but $20 over the period of a year is nothing when you think about it.
as 20 USD is not really much more for me (see also http://www.redhotpawn.com/board/showthread.php?id=3835) and as it is still cheap (but 20 EUR would be a little frontier for me), it's really okay, if you have to do that Russ (I just believe in you...).
@Russ: genius' questions are very good, perhaps you can bring some light into all that?
I also had a quick look in the helpsection to find more out about wings, subscription fees (is it cheaper in the 2nd year?) and other things... I couldn't find too much about that (just that the color changes with the number of moves).
perhaps you can - just to communicate things better - tell us how much faster and better RHP will be with that new machine (some figures that people like me do understand)? so I will know WHY I pay more for resubscribing...
thanks,

does this mean that i can pay before feburuary (i.e. now) at the original price? and can i pay now for when my star runs out? (i dunno when it runs out 😕) also-i didn't pay for my star-some kindly, anonamous person did. shall i have to pay for it this year? ja?
All good questions. Russ is away for the day today, and I shall leave it to him to answer, as I am not 100% clear with the details that Russ has finalised.
Just wanted to let you know that he's not ignoring you!

The site is well worth the increase - ~20 bucks is still great value for what we get. so the increase has my full endorsement! 🙂 If my monetary situation (which does tend to fluctuate! 🙂 )allows at the time when renewing my subscription next fall, I'll gladly update it to the new amount, and recommend that other's who can afford it do the same.
