The red usergroup, as described above, is the "Subscribed" usergroup. They too have access. Since they have paid for a subscription, that shows that they will most likely not be interested in spamming any section of the site. If they do however decide to try and spam the site with links, essentially they would have paid for the ads up to the point where we block them and their links permanently from the site.

Just for the record, the elite status will automatically change when you hit "x" amount of posts.
Can you tell me what this 'x' amount is? Do replies to threads count towards this #? I am interested in using the chat...I didn't know I should've been unnecessarily posting/replying so that I could join the cool crowd! Gees! Also, I do not see info about subscribing. I am assuming this is the same as donating, but could you clear that up for me? Also, how much should one 'donate' to be 'subscribed'?

Re: Herp Center Chat Room

We keep the Elite promotion post count secret, which is why Devon thought it was 100 when in fact it isn't. We do this to disuade anyone from going through every post on the site and posting for the sake of posting to increase their post count.

Every thread and post you make on HC goes toward your post count. Welcoming new users, participating in active discussions, etc., it all counts!

The subscriptions that we offer are monthly. There are several different packages and they can be accessed here:

HC Subscriptions

These are the available subscriptions and how they operate:

Subscribed User - Monthly Recurring
User With Benefits - $5.00 Per Month (Recurring)
Recurring means it will AUTOMATICALLY send $5.00 per month until you disable it via paypal.

Subscribed User Monthly
User With Benefits - $5.00 Per Month (Non-Recurring)
You will need to send in $5.00 per month manually using the link found in your Member Control panel. (The link I posted above.)

User With Benefits - 3 Month Non-Recurring
User With Benefits - 3 Month Subscription (Discounted - Non-Recurring)
For $12.00 you will be subscribed for 3 months. This is also a manual payment every 3 months.

Subscribed User - 3 Months Recurring
User With Benefits - 3 Month Subscription (Discounted - Recurring)
Recurring means it will AUTOMATICALLY send $12.00 every 3 months until you disable it via paypal.

Subscribed - One Year
One Year Subscription Paid in Full. (Discounted - Recurring)
Recurring means it will AUTOMATICALLY send $40.00 every year until you disable it via paypal.

Subscribed - One Year (Non-Recurring)
One Year Subscription Paid in Full. (Discounted )
For $40.00 you will be subscribed for 1 full year. This is also a manual payment every year.

As you can see, the increment values get cheaper the longer you subscribe. The funds from subscriptions goes towards the "toys" that I have added to the site. A good example would be the chat. I paid $50.00 for that script and another $100.00 for a script I am currently working on.

Re: Herp Center Chat Room

hey Rich

Is there any way in the chat, when links are posted, to have them look different? Like bold, italic, or underlined or something? I have been putting *click here* when I post a link.

Re: Herp Center Chat Room

I will look into that as I myself do not like that it isn't displaying them in the manner in which we would "know" it was a link.
