Supporting a Nation badges.

Supporting a Nation III requires 24 months of paid membership. Can a member just pay for 2 years up front and get the badge? I'll donate another year today to get that badge today.

My problem with the badge is it has to be consecutive months. Meaning because I don't let GTN auto renew, I didn't get the badge. I've been a premium member for all but 3 days of the 2.5 years and I don't get credit for it because I let it lapse for hours. That's bull.

so you dont get the badge until you have been premium for 2 years? if you buy it up front doesnt that guarantee it?

Correct, you will get the badge immediately upon renewal since Premium subscriptions are prepaid. If you're in your first year and renew for a second year then you will get the two year badge upon renewal. You don't have to wait in that case.

For the record, back to topic of the poll, tons of the badges are 'bought'. All the arcade ones, play x number of games, play all the summer of 20## games, etc. People who actually support the site should get rewarded with a badge.

I just added donation funds to the site for another year, although I don't expire until May. Does that count? lol

Question is I know I have a year paid and may even have two years maybe, but if I don't since there was/is a break in my premium status will that still be cumulative or will I have to start all over?

Status changed from 'Started' to 'Completed' - I have awarded badges to those matching the latest criteria.

Sweet. What a great way for me to cross the 300 mark with a donation related badge. I love it here.

Interesting to come back to. Now, should I become a premium member or not become a premium member that is the question? hmmmmm, decisions, decisions.

Just an idea, but can you add an option to so people can pay for 2 years in a row?

I think you should have a bronze/silver/gold package. Each one costs more. Maybe you get a bronze, silver, gold badge but make them stackable so if you buy gold you'd unlock the previous tiers too.

eg.
Nrmal - Data pulled automatically every 12 hours / 0 manual data pull per 24 hours
Bronze - Data pulled automatically every 6 hours / 0 manual data pull per 24 hours
Silver - Data pulled automatically every 5 hours / 1 manual data pull per 24 hours
Gold - Data pulled every 3 hours or unlimited manually data pull

And maybe a few others...

But what I mean is the majority of the experience here is mature. Other forums are so busy with immature games and drama, they're no longer fun to peruse.
