  • AC Subscription System now Active

    As we announced a few weeks ago, as the AC has continued to grow - and so have our hosting needs. The cost of our hosting and software has increased exponentially within the last year and vendor fees no longer sustain us.




    MEMBERSHIP LEVELS:
    Beginning Saturday March 1, we will offer users the ability to subscribe as Charter Members. This is a 2 year subscription service which will grant you increased access and perks for helping to support the AC. This program is only $20, of which $5 will go to supporting Civil War Preservation. We will also offer a one year program for $10 which will provide all the same perks and services, less the preservation donation.

    Those who choose not to subscribe immediately will have 30 days before your membership level is affected. Under the new program, non-subscribers will still have posting access to most folders and read-only access in a few folders. This level will also be free of some of the perks we'll be offering to subscribing users.

    The idea is to offer a valued added service to subscribers, providing an incentive to subscribe, without stripping the cupboard bare for those who can't or won't subscribe. For a reminder of what the various subscription programs offer, please refer to THIS LINK, where this was spelled out in some detail. As the software changes, we expect to add more services to subscribing members.




    SUBSCRIBING:
    To subscribe, you'll need to direct your browsers to your User Control Panel and select the option near the bottom for "Paid Subscriptions". Alternately you can follow THIS LINK and it should take you directly there.

    This option is for those with a PayPal account of credit card. For those wishing to subscribe by check or money order, please mail your payments to:
    Justin Runyon
    2930 S First St
    Terre Haute, IN 47802
    Please put "AC Subscription" in the memo line.

    Thank you all for your willingness to support what we do here. We promise to be good stewards of the resources you provide.

    Paul,
    What about those folks who were overly eager and sent in the $20.00 via Paypal when the call was announced. Will we need to send in another $20.00 via the link provided, or will our accounts be adjusted? I know I am not the only one who donated early according to the other thread, so just wondering.

    Thanks,

      Yeah there were a number of those - while we appreciated the donation, this is why I wanted folks to wait. :)

      Send me an email or a PM with the time/date/amount of your donation and I'll make an adjustment.

        Re: AC Subscription System now Active

        I made my payment via paypal and the link on your first post, when I returned to the site, it is denying me access to the home page, vendors, blogs, and articles. I am getting the screen for no permisson to acces these pages I did not know if there was another issue today on the site, or if I did soemthing incorrectly with paying for the subscription. Can you advise?

        Best Regards.

          Thad -
          Thanks for that feedback. I made some adjustments - see if you have full access again.

          These access masks sometimes require a little bit of tweaking.

                        Payment made today.
                        Thanks to Paul, Justin, Eric and others. I enjoy getting my daily AC fix. If you cannot find an answer to any question pertaining to the War then it cannot be found.

                        I like that Charter Member below my name, makes me look important.
