Reality Bites
Sadly the day has come when i am being forced into some changes to Aulro's subscription model or it's lack there of to be more precise.
With approx 18000 overall users and approx 6000 regular users, the system has grown to the point where things need to change a little to keep it viable
These modifications are the result of a number of recent events but primarily the fact that i nearly died a few months ago and hence came to the realization i need to do something for Aulro's sake sooner rather than later. Too many people have put too many hours into this place for it to just up and vanish with me...
In the hope this will future proof it.
It is my intention to make some subtle changes without trying to disturb the place too much.
From 1 January 2015
There will be a new subscription level that costs $11 per year or $1.50 per month
It will offer you continued full access to the system the same as non subscribers get now as registered users.
From 1 January 2015 new users will get 3 months free access to the system and then access will be reduced to many areas and features UNLESS they hold a current subscription.
If you have been here more than 3 months on that date your access will be reduced accordingly
NONE OF THIS WILL AFFECT CURRENT SUBSCRIBERS ON THE SYSTEM.
The current subscriber, silver, gold, and vendor level subscriptions will continue as they have in the past without change.
I am well aware this will have an impact and change the dynamic of the system but what needs to be done, needs to be done.
The extra income will ensure the system remains a viable entity.
So no matter when you signed up prior to the 1st October 2014, you now have until the 1st January 2015 to subscribe to Aulro.com or your access will be reduced.
