3reef Supporter Membership Is Now $24!

Matt Rogers · 12-17-2008, 02:16 PM

Hi folks,

I have been thinking this one over and have decided to lower the price of the 3reef Supporter membership to $24 a year.

-----

Show your support for 3reef by signing up for a yearly subscription (for only ~~$33~~ $24) and immediately enjoy these new features:

500 PM Capacity
Images in Signatures
Customize Your Blog
Customize Your User Title
Animated Profile Picture and Avatar
Larger Avatars
Can vote on polls without restriction
Double the amount of Album Photos (100)

~~Coming Soon:~~ Done!
A Member Only Board with sneak peaks at new 3reef features as well as exclusive discussions on the future of 3reef.

-----

Some of you expressed that $33 was more expensive than elsewhere. At the time, I rationalized that because elsewhere they get hundreds of dollars a month from advertisers and we don't.

However, in time I began to realize that it was my responsibility to market 3reef better and bring in new revenue streams with better features etc., and not place the financial burden on you. Now that the hardware is in place, this will be my mission in 2009.

So, for you early subscribers who showed your support to 3reef, I have just issued ALL of you the difference of $9 PLUS an additional $1 as gratitude for your support.

For the others of you, I hope this explanation and price reduction might make you consider becoming a 3reef Supporter.

This site has really grown into something and it is because of all of you. Thank you very much and Merry Christmas!

If you haven't re-imbursed mine (I don't see it yet), don't worry about it Matt...... Buy yourself a couple of cold ones.

And I will give out mega karma to the next "3" supporters. Post in this thread.

I don't want anything back, it was sent as support to keep 3reef up. Merry Christmas Matt!

Too late.

But you guys rock.
Paypal says 9 have gone through, the rest are initiated. Beers on me.

The skinny:
It's not really about these bells & whistles, it is about keeping 3reef going. This site has grown quite large in the last couple years and the time and money involved in software upkeep, hardware, licenses, etc.. has grown dramatically.

If you believe in this site and it has been a help to you, please consider becoming a 3reef Supporter today. And thank you in advance, your support is sincerely appreciated.

Sincerely,

matt

This supporter will use the additional funds in paypal to buy a new shirt when the new ones come out!

The store has scrolling pics of 3reefers in 3reef shirts! Awesome!
