It's an integratable mail program like hotmail. However in my findings is causes some headaches so I decided not to offer it.

Hmm I love physics forums but 125 dollars is a lot of money you might be able to get a lot more money from it if you lowered prices for say students or something. Student=poor but I could manage like 10 dollars for 6 years lol.

It's $25 for a year. Not $125

is it possible to get premium membership without paying? i don't feel like giving $25 for an avatar...

You are not paying for the avatar, you are supporting the site by contributing. Contributing members are appreciated by giving them perks that regular members don't have.

You are not required to contribute. As you are a member on this site for a longer time, you might feel that it is something worth contributing to.

oh well, I'll be purchasing my premium membership when paypal finishes the transaction with my account. should be on the 1st.

Some promotions might be delayed because of paying with an echeck which takes a few days to clear. If that is the case contact me and I'll promote you manually.
 
  • #67
Maybe I should have asked before I contributed, but what is this money used for? Domain, Hosting...?
