Exclusive Membership Plus other Changes

[Bob]

Introducing DNForum’s Membership – Exclusive.

Nine new forums will be available to Exclusive Members and until September 30, 2003 on a trial basis to current Platinum Members. This trial period will give you sufficient time to evaluate the Exclusive section to determine if this new level is right for you. The forums include:

Domain brokerage
Professional Domain Appraisals
Daily Drop Lists
DNForum Will Buy For $$$ if Caught in Drop
I will Pay ? for this domain
Drops Caught by DNForum
Find Products that can be drop shipped
Commercial Customer Service
Exclusive Club

Please see the main DNForum.com page for descriptions of these new categories.
Gold and Platinum will have access read / reply privileges to “I will Pay ? For This Domain”. If you can get a domain for less than the buyer is willing to pay, you get to keep the difference.

Pricing:
New Exclusive Memberships will be priced at $399.95 per year.


Upgrading:
If you decide to upgrade your membership to exclusive, you will receive FULL CREDIT for your initial membership fee, in addition to a special “Upgrade promotion”. During the trial period (which ends on September 30, 2003), Gold Members may upgrade to an Exclusive Membership for $349, and Platinum Members may upgrade for $299.99. After the trial period has expired, upgrades will be $385 for Gold Members and $349 for Platinum Members.

All members will be able to use DNF$ to upgrade their membership. The more active you are, the more DNF$ you earn, and the quicker you can upgrade your membership with DNF$.

New Lifetime Memberships Available
All Membership Levels now carry a “Lifetime” membership option. Instead of paying your membership fee each year, you may now pay one fee to become a lifetime member with no additional annual fees. This fee is equivalent to three annual fee payments ($14.95 for Silver Members, $44.95 for Gold Members, $149.95 for Platinum Members, and $1199.95 for Exclusive Members). As part of the trial period promotion, we will offer lifetime Platinum memberships for $129 until September 30, 2003.


DNF Dollars:
We will be altering the amount of DNF earned per post. New values are as follows:

Bronze: Not permitted to post
Silver: 1 DNF$ per post
Gold: 2 DNF$ per post
Platinum: 3 DNF$ per post
Exclusive: 4 DNF$ per post

We have a wide variety of services available for you to use your DNF $. Please visit the rewards store for the list of options.

We will be renaming the silver section to “Bronze”. The benefits will remain the same. However, Silver Memberships will now be $5. This $5 ensures that people are legitimate (i.e. they MUST provide accurate contact information) and will provide some validation process to their identity.

The permissions for each level can be seen at: http://dnforum.com/chart.htm

Also please see the new signup rates here: http://www.dnforum.com/signup_new.htm . You may click on “membership upgrade” button to see the upgrade rates.

OTHER NEAT THINGS

DNForum.com will also have weekly contests and an NFL pool with prizes of DNF$. Details will be posted in the contest section, and will be open to all Membership Levels.
