Premium Memberships 2014.... Sale!!

[brewmaster15]

Hi all,
Just catching up on things here and I want to make sure everyone is aware of one of the programs we have in place here to raise funds. We offer Premium membership that come with Perks above the normal free memberships here. Ryan has outlined it all here...

http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...um-Memberships

He explains what the program offers you. You basically get expanded forum services and special discounts and giveaways by sponsors. Its different with each sponsor, and you need to ask them what they currently do for the program. I asked the sponsors to do this to help out, and many have agreed, but their participation and what they will do is always subject to change. The Forum Perks we offer however will stay the same unless then software manufacturer makes changes that make it necessary for us to modify what we can give you.

If you become a premium member it is your responsibility to contact the sponsors and check what they offer before you order. They have no way to know if you are a premium member until you tell them your user name and which membership you have.....and will not offer discounts after the sale.


So basically what you get is everything you currently get as a member, plus perks and the knowledge that you are helping support the forum that you come to and enjoy daily.

I want to thank those of you that signed up last year for these memberships... having spoken with some of you I know that you have gotten great value out of the system and I appreciate the contributions you have made to forum.


If you regularly visit the forum and get value out of it, It would be great to have you as a premium member here.. Please consider making that comitment in 2014. I know the economy is not great out there, and that times are hard all over, but I do hope you will consider showing your support of what the forum does for you thru the purchase of a membership.

Again...the details are here. ..http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...um-Memberships
and if you have any questions you may pm any moderator on staff here, or me personally.

Thank you,

What has it saved you in headaches and lost fish, whats its brought in terms of sponsors , places to sell your hobby raised stock, advice you have been given.

I am planning on renewing in April . I love my homesteader.

Case example of why you should consider a Premium Membership here...

Lets say you buy a membership as a Homesteader or Gold.. for $50.00 and the sponsors are giving 10% discounts to these groups as many do...

If you buy $500 in fish from them you will have paid the Membership cost right there...anything more you buy is just money in your pocket. Spend $1000 in a year on Discus with our various sponsors and you can save $50 above the cost of the Premium Memberships! Discus are not inexpensive fish , and this can really save you.


Do the math... Its a great way to help the Forum and help yourselves to save some serious jingle on your Discus Keeping !!!
Its really a no-brainer if you plan on making any discus purchases in this upcoming Year.

best always,
Al

HI all,
My thanks go out to all of you that took advantage of the sale and showed your forum support here. The sale is now over, but you can still become a premium member at any time.The details are here....

http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?104050

You can also contribute anytime to the forum using this link.....
http://forum.simplydiscus.com/misc.php?do=donate


Why do this? Because...You get something of value here everyday, that although its not as tangible as a fish that you may buy, or a tank..or a Big Mac, it is just as valuable. You get support for your problems, you get comradery, you get a place to shop for your purchases of Discus and supplies,you get a place to share your photos, ask your questions, and get answers. You even get a place to sell your fish as a hobbyist. It is all given freely here to members. I know you can't "see" it , and it does not physically swim in the tank, but in the long run, supporting this forum is probably the wisest discus related investment you'll make in the hobby.


Give it some thought.

Thank you again to all those that do contribute here, you know who you are, and I do as well. You have my gratitude.

best always,
al
