Member++ Subscriptions
Support the community and get more out of Pabook.net with a Member++ subscription!
What You Get
Member++ subscribers receive the following benefits:
- Your own username@pabook.net email address with 6GB of storage (powered by Google Mail)
- 10x greater storage for personal messages than Member+ (2000 messages)
- Less time delay between searches than Member+ (10 seconds)
- Access to the exclusive Member++ forum
- No Google ad in the forum header
- The ability to display your Pabook.net Blog on your own website (see example)
- The admiration of Pab and your forum peers for supporting the community
At just USD $20 for a whole year (~$1.67/month), a Member++ subscription is so cheap that your wallet shouldn't even notice it. Actually, seeing as payment is made online, your wallet need never find out - bonus points!
Payment Methods
PayPal is our payment processor so if you already have a PayPal account you are good to go. If not don't fret, as all you need to start one is one of the accepted major credit/debit cards or a bank account. And if you really don't want a PayPal account at all, you can still subscribe (see "Manual Subscription" below). Payments are made in U.S. Dollars but you can also use Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, or Yen and PayPal will handle the exchange at current rates. Payments are made to an account under the name of "Gekko Internet".
Automatic Subscription
The preferred method of subscribing is to use the subscription system that is built into the community software. To do so you need to have a PayPal account or have one set up during the payment process. The benefit of going through the system is that you will be automatically upgraded to Member++ as soon as your payment is processed. In addition, future payments will recur automatically and you can choose to pay every 3 or 6 months instead of the usual 12.

Manual Subscription
If you don't have or don't want a PayPal account, you can still subscribe with a major credit/debit card or bank account by making a one-off payment. The downsides of this method over the automated system described above is that an admin will have to manually upgrade your account and payment won't be automatically recurring.

Making A Donation
Don't want the badge of pride and funky extra features that are Member++? Still want to support the site? Consider a donation instead!
What You Get
Warm fuzzy feeling. No, not the "darn, I've wet the bed" kind, the "I'm helping support this website" kind.
What It Costs
That's up to you! You can donate any amount you like, from USD $1 upwards. Bear in the mind though that $1 might not be such a great idea, as $0.33 of it will be taken away by PayPal fees. That said, all donations are gratefully accepted, no matter the amount.
