TOL Membership Options Explained

[Knight]

From this point further all TOL subscriptions will be automated using our new system.
http://www.theologyonline.com/forums/payments.php

The prices have changed and so have many of the options. One of the main differences is now a base or bronze level subscriber will belong to his own user group with certain permissions and or abilities (much like the old subscriber usergroup). Yet now the silver level and gold level subscribers will belong to their own respective usergroups and have enhanced capabilities... each higher user group gaining more and more abilities (listed below).

Also... the prices per silver and gold subscription option have been lowered but you can no longer apply your silver or gold subscription option to more than one username therefore the pricing is in all actuality much the same as before.

If you own a silver or gold subscription already you keep your current arrangement OR you may cancel your PayPal recurring subscription and star a new one, the choice is yours!

Keep in mind I have only BEGUN to add features for subscribers so if you think the following list is good you will really love all the new features as I add them throughout the next few months.

TOL simply could not exist as the coolest site on the internet without the support of our TOL subscribers! Thank you... all of you!

Many have asked if we would add TOL subscriptions that would automatically renew at the end of the subscription term and we have now added that feature.

Now there are now TWO OPTIONS when buying any TOL membership:

1. Normal (bronze, silver or gold). This subscription will not automatically renew. When it's over... it's over!
2. Reoccurring (bronze, silver or gold). This subscription will automatically renew at the end of it's term. (when buying your subscription select the options with the "*" - see attached screen shot)

BUY YOUR MEMBERSHIP TODAY!!!

Bump for the newbies.

We have disabled Private messaging for regular users due to spammers abusing the private messaging system.

You now must be a minimum of registered plus to use the private messaging system.

Please inform new users of this fact should they ask.

Thanks!
