I’d encourage everyone to sign up. The enhanced 3D user experience is worth the money alone.

Thats before I’ve even mentioned the welcome pack with signed BHA memorabilia and “license to carry bottle tops into the ground” card.

Or Bozza’s weekly surgery where we can book a one on one appointment with Bozza or one of the mods to go through any issues, lobby for bans and generally be heard in a safe space.

Looking forward to the group trip to Rome, fellow lickers. Hadn’t even occurred to me to get a luxury yacht over, so that’s a real boon.

Do it.
Remember you need to specify your preferred choice of vintage champagne before 5pm tomorrow.

I'd kinda forgotten about it as no-one has mentioned it for a while.

What would you want?
'NSC Supporter', i.e. does what it says on the tin. Or nothing - although I understand that you do want to promote the scheme so that more of us can enjoy the incredible benefits.

I see we're now 'Patreons' rather than 'Lickers'. Do prefer it tbh, although what is a 'Patreon'? I googled it and it's some monetised platform

Yeah, Patreon is a platform where, typically, people support creators with regular payments.

It's not really different to what we are doing here, but Xenforo has it all built-in to move users to different groups etc, which means I don't have to monitor it and make manual changes.

I took the suggestion from @Chicken Run above, but people should be called Patrons, really, not Patreons. I'll change it now!

A bounce for this, for a couple of reasons...

Firstly - a massive thanks to all those who have directly supported NSC over the last year. It's a massive help in funding the site. In the last year, we had to move to a more expensive hosting package because of the massiveness of over 20 years worth of stuff. On the plus side, the new package is higher-powered so site performance also improved a little bit.

Additionally, the funding meant I was able to continue to pay for a website security service that monitors NSC 24/7, flags any security issues and escalates them to a team to provide mitigation actions.

Secondly - it's approaching a year since people first started supporting NSC directly. A handful of people made an annual payment, and these are set to renew - Paypal will automatically take the money again. I just wanted to flag this in case any annual payers want to cancel - you'll need to do this within your Paypal account.

I don't want anyone to face hardship because they forgot that the payment was going to be taken.

However, if your renewal goes before you are able to cancel, please get in touch. It goes without saying, of course, that I would refund anyone who asked for their money back - no questions asked.

Finally, I fully appreciate that most people can't or don't want to support NSC directly in this way. Life is expensive and there's a lot better things to spend money on than this ridiculous website. But if you do keep ads displaying on NSC, or remember to click to Amazon via NSC when you buy something then you're absolutely doing your bit to help keep the lights on - and I massively appreciate that too.

Not sure how to tell you this but the Amazon link seems to have disappeared! :D
