I'm afraid to answer, as this may violate the terms of non-disclosure!

[Tursi]

Isn't that revealed by the "Subscriber" tag under your profile pic?

No.  Something like $35 per year.

It's $30 per year or $50 for two years.  This nets you a longer post edit window, more space for your private messages, the "Subscriber" badge, a 5% discount in the AtariAge Store, and other benefits.  I won't hide any important functionality behind subscriptions.  They do help cover the considerable expense in running AtariAge (about $500 a month), so they are greatly appreciated.  I haven't really pushed them very hard, but I should probably make them more visible and a bit easier to find.  I just don't want to bash people over the head with them.

I pay $50 every 2 years, which amounts to ~$2.08 per month. I used to pay $30 every other year, but this forum is so much a part of my life and everyday enjoyment that a regular subscription is a no-brainer.

That is the bill they send me each month I pay.

I did the 2 year thing also...

[+9640News]

I did as well the 2 year thing as I recall.  It is a small price to pay to keep in contact and continue to learn.

I am now (well, the 2 year option at least) .. I had no idea a subscriber option was available before today!

Only about $1 every fortnight!

Yeah, this is why I need to make some minimal effort to promote the subscriptions. 
 

Thank you for buying a subscription!

@arcadeshopper Maybe a mention in the subforum FAQ?

[digdugnate]

It's intermittent for me- I try to sub as I can, but a few months do pass here and there.

[+jmazzy]

I also pay $50 for 2 years.

[AtariNostalgia]

I also had no idea of this option. I'll get subscribed, it's worth contributing to this site.

[+jedimatt42]

I don't read email, I search it. So thankfully this thread helped me notice my subscription had lapsed.

[GDMike]

When I can start to pay for CL99, I'll get rt with the forum. I use both, oh. The drinks are free.

I only noticed it 2 years ago and if I remember correctly, it was the result of discussion about editing topics and/or messages that clued me in.

I sometimes subscribe for one or two years - but sometimes forget to renew. 

[+Gemintronic]

I think a random $5 charge would confuse me.  I already have to watch out for FreedomPop trying to charge me for their "Free" phone service which I stopped using years ago.

 

I've never been disappointed with the 2 year option.  Less to think about.

[+wongojack]

2 years at a time

[+mizapf]

Well, then...
