Just curious ...
Doesn't say anything about private forums. Then again that rule may be private as well.
not sure, im more interested in how many it would take to get the Woodcrest statusZwhaler said:
I might contribute soon, after i hit my 500 post milestone. Is it $25 US, or just $25 from wherever? $US25 is ~$33 here in Aussieland
Yeah it's around $33 here, if I recall correctly. Actually I think I pain $34 but the exchange rate's gone up since.Scarlet Fever said:
Steve Jobs posts in the demi forum and lets us know when things are coming out, usually 8 years in advance.

Suppose one wanted to pay the $25 to support MR but also likes the ads and wants to keep them...how would that work?

Give the $25 to me and I'll give it to MR. The fact that I get an extra year's subscription is neither here nor there.
I know that it's possible to get the demi features turned off while leaving the subscription active, but I don't know how much effort it takes for the admins to do that (and actually, not knowing how much hassle it is to maintain that kind of half-status is why I didn't renew).elfin buddy said:Suppose one wanted to pay the $25 to support MR but also likes the ads and wants to keep them...how would that work?

The ad free front page is a separate URL so if you want them just go to the normal front page, or you could just log out.

Aha, I see
And what about the ads at the top and bottom of the forums? I don't suppose it's a separate URL for them as well, is it? It's generally the topic-targeted ads surrounding threads that get my attention.elfin buddy said:
