A few words about the impending membership level change.

No worries here~ I have a web host already (I hate them, but hubby seems pretty well anamored!)

But you may not want to upgrade to all those nifty red coins as all the people already whining that they think your in it for the money (yeah~ I know~ you really needed the quarter an hour you'll be making right?!?) Anyway~ all those people will begin assuming that you scored $250 from us all.

Yeah, good point. And I didn't think of it that way.

And there is another wrinkle. What about those people who have PAID for the Endowment level membership? One has already. Will my upgrading all of the Contributors to that level look like a slap in the face to him?

Jeez, Louise! Nothing I ever do is simple with no complications involved.....

Rich,
No sweat - Do what you think is best for Fauna.
I have made it very clear in past posts that I feel strongly about this site and will do whatever I can to support it.

As far as the Endowment Membership is concerned, it was a no-brainer for me. The price of the Endowment Membership is essentially the price of hosting on many lesser servers. I have been hosted by FaunaNet for over a year and it's an excellent value. The features and benefits of FaunaNet are well worth the price of the membership.

Of course, if you feel the need to give something back, that 5th spot on the Fauna Good Guy Certification Forum would be very nice.

Just a thought - do whatever you feel is best and I will support it.

From what I have seen, Mike is the one who purchased the Endowment. I find him exceptionally mature and a team player, I do not think he had anything in mind but supporting Fauna when he took that step, and I feel he will see his purchase as part of the team effort for Fauna.

Holy CRAP is that gaudy. Makes my eyes hurt.

how about when your time is up you have the option (just like now) of picking one of the levels, if you can afford a higher level go for it if you cant stay with what you have if you cant affoid anything and have over 500 posts its kinda a freebie. it's a yearly subscription plan, right?

I have to agree with Joe, the new icons are a bit overpowering.
Personally, I think the color is fine, but the enlarged size is a bit much.
I think it would have a much classier look at about 1/2 the current size.

opinions?

Well heck, they look fine on my monitor! Of course it is a 21 inch screen at 1600x1200 pixels.....

I am on a 19 inch at 1024x768 and they are quite big.

And I believe it actually made me go blind
