Permanent accounts on sale! And looking for beta RP communities
Inksome is having a Permanent Account Sale!
Permanent accounts are a great way to get more for your money. Not only do you get all the features of a paid account in perpetuity, you also get
50 additional userpics, for a total of 300
250 additional maximum friends, for a total of 1500, and
1 free rename.
Note that the additional userpics and max. friends will always be in effect, so if paid accounts get a 50 userpic increase to 300, perm accounts will get increased to 350.
A permanent account costs $150. This is a limited time sale! This sale expires at midnight CST on Friday, 12 September 2008. That means at 12:01 on Saturday the 13th, it's too late.
We're also looking for a roleplaying community or two to be our guinea pig (except that we do not actually advocate testing on animals). Recently, [info]staff_jamie brainstormed some ideas for special roleplaying set-ups on Inksome. While we don't have it all ready to go, we would like to have a "live" group to work with. So, we can offer the following asap but not necessarily right away (hence the guinea pig-ness):
* A reserved block of usernames with the comm's abbreviation. Every username created with that group's XXX will be a character in your game.
* 50 invites to use for character players or additional comms
* A paid IS community (which means the ability to customize it to your heart's content)
* 500 MB of webspace on IS's server to create a "Story So Far," the list of available characters, and all the OOC stuff in a way that avoids some of the inconveniences of such info being buried in a community journal.
Other things we want to get working:
* Improved comment thread expansion, maybe customizable
* The ability to display the most recent comments or the most recently updated thread in a post.
* Simplified and clarified timestamping.
* The ability to upload more than one icon at a time.
* Icon preview in the comment form.
The above aren't necessarily role-player specific features but they seem to be popular with the people who assisted in brainstorming.
So, if a role-playing community would like to take the plunge and be our guinea pigs, we're offering a one-time permanent role-playing community account sale for up to THREE communities for $100 (only twice what one year would cost once this feature is fully available).
If you would like to do this, please contact ![[info]](http://www.inksome.com/img/userinfo.gif)
staff_jamie, who will help get all the social stuff organized for Kit.
Finally, we know some people are nervous about giving money to us because we're not stable like LJ. In an attempt to set your mind at ease, here's some stuff that's going on:
* Inksome recently registered as an LLC in Missouri. We even get junk mail!
* Kit has been busy putting account type on userinfo and is closer than ever to getting the process of converting accounts automatic.
* Jamie and Kit talk about Inksome at home daily. Jamie gets some impossible idea and Kit ruminates on feasibility.
* The Inksome staff in general are hard-working folk who have made our site look different from just any LJ clone. They are working to get styles un-b0rked. And they've been hard at work assembling a FAQ for our site.
In short, we are dedicated to keeping Inksome working.
Thank you for your support.
