I would like to announce a new opportunity for students of
Objectivism to interact with like-minded individuals and support
Objectivist intellectuals. A new Premium Forums section has been
created on this forum for individuals who become new Patron Members.
The goal of this section is to encourage high-quality discussions,
attract Objectivist intellectuals, expose students to Objectivist
ideas, and generate revenue for the website.
A Patron membership provides benefits to the subscribing member, Objectivist intellectuals, and the rest of this forum community.
Benefits to you:
-Participation
in the Premium Forums, which is limited to individuals who demonstrate
that they are serious about Objectivism. (Read-only access is open to
everyone.)
-Greatly increased storage and posting limits on the forum.
-Prominent display of your username in recognition of your contribution.
-Perks such as free @rationalmind.net email accounts and other benefits to be announced later.
Benefits to Objectivist intellectuals:
Financial awards for participation on the forum!
-Free participation in the Premium forums
-An audience eager for your ideas.
Benefits to members at large:
-Read-only access to a high-quality discussion forum
Financial rewards to the top posters!
Payment Distribution:
The
distribution of payments to the members will be calculated according to
a vote of the "top ten favorite posters" by each patron, calculated
monthly, up to 75% of the total dues, with a minimum of 5 votes per
member.
Pricing:
An introductory rate of just $5 per
month, payable bimonthly or yearly. Yearly subscribers can save $10
with a single payment of $50.
Note: Active moderators and
Objectivist intellectuals will have free access to the Premium Forums.
By “Objectivist intellectual” I mean someone who has published papers
or books on Objectivism or Ayn Rand, as well as similar criteria to be
determined by me. If you believe that you qualify for free access,
please contact me.
You can also sign up from your forum profile for instant activation.
