Hey MarkG. I got an email from members@apolyton.net and when I replied it bounced back. I just got other email from the same email address which I have just replied to. Just letting you know.

Thanks to Joncha for assisting me in paying for my membership, fast and efficient too!!

Also a note to Mark/Dan:
The email I received confirming my membership reads: "As part of our system tests, you're a lucky reciever of a 1-month subscription to our new service, giving your ad-free use of our site and more benefits that will soon be announced. Stay tuned and enjoy!"
Yet my profile correctly indicates that I paid for a year subscription, not sure why the email indicates differently, but it caused me a fair bit of confusion at first.

[MarkG]

hmmm will look into it

needless to say, you shouldnt get this message

[DrSpike]

I was confused by that also, when I joined months ago.

ApolytonPLUS News

Safety from e-mail checks

The last couple of weeks, we have a new system in place which gets bounced back messages, retrieves the responsible email address and moved the associated username to a "bad mail" users group.

PLUS users are exempted from this procedure (if there is an error with their email nothing happens to their account)

I hate this Apolyton Plus.
Because up till its infameous appearance, You were trying to improve this site so that it'd be better. Of course the more users, the better for You.
Now any improvements that will appear will be for Plussies probably.
You won't improve standart Apolyton account, because You won't have interest in it.



And btw, what's the possible size of avatar for no-plussy?

[Adagio]

Standard avatar size is 80x80

And what's the problem with Plus? It's not like it makes it worse for you to surf this site... it only makes it better for those with plus to surf this site....

Yes, of course. But while the PLUS' possibilities may expand, I doubt normal browsing's will.
If Apolyton will have additional features, it will have them for PLUS only probably.
Normal Apolytoners will become obsolete...
And someday, The Great Player will guide us to the nearest city and disband, as an obsolete phalanx in a howitzer world


And thank You for the avatar info.

No I think Markos has our best interests at heart.

What I do think he is trying to do is help operate by deferring the costs of running this site which I count as a Value Added Experience

I dont think Markos is actually Oliver Stone and I dont think any "conspiracy theories" against NON-Plus Members is in the wroks

Relax

Have a V-8

sorry, a double post
I've asked Ming to delete it already

[Heresson]

Markos G is EVIL

It's no conspiracy theory. It's just probability.
For Markos and the rest of the crew, Plussies are simple more valuable than the rest of Apolytoners.
And they have the best interest in convincing more and more Apolytoners to join Plus. And when and if the normal users will become less numerable, or when Apolyton will be low on cash,
they'll say "You have 2 months to decide whether You want to sign up for Plus or to leave Apolyton forever".
Such thing's happened to my mailbox.

[DrSpike]

Yeah my heart bleeds for you, with this site being provided to you for free through the hard work of others. Must be tough for you.

PLUS users get small benefits, and few members pay for them because they are worth the fee - I know I cough up in order to support the site I enjoy posting at, not for the benefits. It is through the actions of those that feel the same way as me that you get a site that functions well, so please, pretty please, shut the hell up.
