August Changes

[SunshineGirl]

Just wanted to let my board friends (as opposed to "bored friends") know about a few SR changes for August 1 before everyone else finds out. Nothing big and most of it not related to the site itself:

1) Premium Arcade Game Membership. The Premium Arcade games will no longer be open to everyone but rather only those with Premium Members. Board moderators automatically get a membership. We will also be giving away memberships as prizes for different games. Memberships can be purchased for 19.99 through Paypal or you will be able to use your SR credits to get them for a discount. Memberships last 6 months.

2) The chat room will be restricted to those people with 75 posts or more. This is to ensure that we do not have spammers show up in the chat room. This has been a big problem in other forums. It is also for your protection. By the time someone hits 75 posts, they are enough a part of the community that we feel comfortable talking around them and know a little bit about them.

3) Super Members will be testing 2 fun new functions on the site. More info on that next week.

That's all that I can think of right now. Don't forget the Christmas in July is almost over! As well as this month's leaderboard, where you can ear 10% extra in credits for the month.

Thanks for the heads up. Can't wait to hear what the 2 new things we get to test are. :)

[kendra412]

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I should be posting more.

So, if we want to get a premium games membership(because I am totally addicted, thank you very much), how do we go about doing that???

On August 1, you will be able to go into your SR account and there will be a redemption option just like a gift card. Or if you wanted to do the paypal thing, you could go into "User CP" above and somewhere in there is "subscriptions." You click on that and it walks you through the paypal process.

Everything sounds great, Tricia! I've told you before, but it is worthy of saying again. You have done such a great job with this site and I have no doubt you will continue to grow! What goes around comes around! :sunshine:

Thanks for the "warning" - I had a great time chatting last night but am a few posts shy of 75! I've got a little work to do! :)

[pbhall13]

guess I need to start posting more................I have a week left.........I think I can make it........

as for the games.........darn I am sooooo addicted...........it calms me at the end of a long day..........I might have to cough up the money!

[Arky]

Thanks for the heads up! I think these decision are fair. I like how you are working to protect us and help us have fun at the same time!!

[chipndale]

I guess that I will have to start and post more too. I find that I read and follow certain threads and usually don't post too often. I will start and post more.

[Hedy]

So will the survey contest still be going on?

[llgray16]

Can't wait to see the new changes :)

[Dove]

Sounds good to me too ! Now I just have to work on my 75 post:rotfl:

[Dove]

That give's me a place to start !

[nurseminnie76]

Thanks for the heads up Tricia. I have really enjoyed the chat room so I better get my posts up. As a pp said -- I read all the threads daily - just don't respond that often. Better get busy.

[Tasha228]

Thanks for letting us know!

ETA: That brings me to 75 posts! ;) Now I might even have to check out chat sometime just because I made the post requirement!

[Kycha]

That give's me a place to start !

Here are a couple of games you can play that will help up your post count.

Looking forward to the new surprises! I'm hoping the Daily Survey contest will reappear in August :rotfl:

[disney_girl]

Thanks for the heads up- it all sounds reasonable! It's great that you are always looking for ways to improve the site and keep it fun!! Like some of the others... gotta work on my posts now!! Have a great day!

[mjjmbnmm]

need to start posting

[SunshineGirl]

Yes. The survey increased credit and bonuses will continue next month. :)

[jnorth1007]

Yay!!! We love that!

[icartjetta]

yeah, I'm up to 22 today, getting sooooo close.

[OregonGirlie]

I can't wait to find out what the SM's get to test. :) I feel like I'm in the cool group being a SM...

I just wish I had more time to be active on here lately, I think I've made like $9 this month, as opposed to well over a hundred other months. I need to dedicate some time to this soon. :)

[lorisnuts]

thats great news about the surveys. :cooldance: thanks so much!!!

[Lisaj68]

That is really good news because for some reason, nothing has credited for me except surveys and paid clicks!

Must be this new birthday present....the laptop! (yes, I still suck at games!! haha!!)

I have gone in and "accepted all cookies" but that hasn't helped????

Anything else I can do?

[minigirl]

I'm at 22, too (or should I say "as well?). I haven't been able to qualify for one the past couple of days though. I hope I make it. I'm at about 40% of my target for Super Member status with 2 more months to go. :cooldance:

I just need $30 to reach SM for the next quarter. :cooldance: Can't wait. I have done 17 surveys, this month, even though I set my goal for 10. Now, I am afraid I am going to drive myself crazy trying to get those last 3 surveys in the last 3 days of the month.

My goal was 10 too and I have 17 credited and did one yesterday and today so I should be up to 19!! :sunshine2: I'm so excited!! I would love to set my goal at 25 next month but with my brother's boot camp graduation in Oklahoma and my daughter's birthday trip to Houston, we'll probably be gone too much!

[mum4jenn]

I probably won't make it to 75 posts!!! I am not big on chat rooms anyway...I type too slow:rotfl:

[bluefuzzy]

Me too Mum4Jenn but at the same time it would be nice for the times I'm up late at night here.

You're doing great. I also have a little over 16 credits pending, so once those clear I will be more than half way.

We're going on a small trip this next month, so I know I won't make 25 surveys. I should definitely make the 10 though, and I'm still hopeful I'll get 25 this month. It's getting down to the wire though.
