Become An Active Member, to support MacMusic Options

[Francois Déchery]

On December 5th, we informed you that MacMusic would be closing in the near future. This brought on an important mobilization and every solution was analyzed in order to consider the survival of your site.

We presently know that neither advertising - at least for now - nor a request for 'charitable' donations would ensure the continuity of the site. Its future rests upon users motivation: for this reason, a fee will now be a charged for prolonged access to MacMusic.

In order to do so, a method similar to shareware will be put into place very shortly which is a first for an Internet site. The procedure is simple enough: access to MacMusic contents will always be available to all but surfing will progressively and more intensively be reduced for non 'Active Members'. New visitors will have the chance to get to know the site well enough to decide if they want to join our community. The authorized number of pages will of course be globally accounted for before the slowing down no matter how many times someone has visited the site. Once you become an 'Active Member', you can resume normal surfing and even choose not to show avertising banners.

The annual price is based on that of monthly magazines although our information is offered on a daily basis and that the proposed services have nothing in common with those of the written press... The level of interactivity between readers is also not quite the same ;-)
Unlimited access to MacMusic has therefore been established at $60 a year for 'Active Members' (individuals) and at $100 for 'Active Corporate' (businesses).

Another feature enables you to access the status progressively if you can't do otherwise. In that case, you only need to gain MacMusic points up and until the amount of the annual price is reached. You can obtain these points by either buying them by unit (1 point = 1 $), or by making a contribution (articles, news, translations, links...) for which the number of points will be shown online soon. You can also mix the two ways if you wish.

Finally, if you are an unwavering supporter of MacMusic and have the means, you can contribute even more by paying a larger amount than the established fee thus giving a more important support to your site. In that case, you can purchase points in advance that can be exchanged for new services soon to be announced. Let us keep in mind that this is the community spirit that has made MacMusic the first site on the planet dedicated to your world.


So, are you ready to save MacMusic from being unjustly terminated in the very near future?

Hey! Everybody here!

Don't tell us it's that clear that you have no questions?
Or that you don't care at all of the demise of MacMusic?

If there's no money, there will be no more MacMusic!
