Upgrade Your BP.net Experience!!!

Also, are the subscriptions one time or annual?

Also curious about this.

Annual

[JLC]

Yes, subscriptions are annual. The renewal is not automatic...so if you subscribe and then in the future move on to something else and forget about BP.net....you won't find yourself hit with a mysterious Paypal charge you weren't expecting.

It's about time!!!

Congratulations and thanks to the entire Bp.Net staff for all of the hard work that I'm sure it took to put these new features into place and to test them in order to make the "bullet proof" for the membership.

I've watched this site grow so much over the past 4 years and I'm super excited about this next big step for the best reptile community on the net. These new membership options will not only put some really great features and benefits into the hands of the Bp.Net diehards but will also allow the site to reach for even greater heights in both features, scalability, and performance.

I'm darn proud to be a member and thank the entire Bp.Net crew (both members and staff) for making this place one of the best sites I've ever had the pleasure of participating in!

I never change my avatar, so it's really no big deal to me. But why aren't regular users allowed to change their avatar? Just wondering, if you only have 1 avatar at a time anyway.. I guess trying to save some server space?

I'm not complaining, again, because I don't ever change mine, just wondering what the thought process for this part is.

I'd like to donate $10 and be a copper supporter.

You can change your avatar as a regular user, but you'll have to choose from a list of avatars that we have loaded here. Once you reach BP.net Veteran status, you can change it to a more personalized one.

Everyone currently will be grandfathered in and can keep their current avatar, which is why we're giving a grace period to change it now if you wish.

Yeah, I know, I was just wondering if it's just meant to keep down server space and bandwidth.

No, it's meant to be part of the incentives to contribute to the community, either by steady participation and/or financially. Also...we have a lot more trouble with new members uploading inappropriate avatars and it'll cut down on some staff load if folks get a chance to get to know the site better before they start uploading pics that show up all over the place.

New supporter signatures were just added to our already existing list of BP.net signatures

This is great Judy, I've always wanted a way to be able to give back to the community. This is a good way to do it.
