> I'll make it short and sweet.
>
> It's finally ready! The new subscription members site is online.
>
> I've been working hard to get "The Motor Oil Site" online for the past
couple of months now. I expected to have it online 2-3 weeks ago, but
technical issues and delays with my host prevented that from happening.
>
> At any rate, it's online and ready for action now.
>
> There are four "membership" levels to the site.
>
> 1) The first is a "Guest" membership, which really isn't a member at all.
Guests can "lurk" through a few of the forums, but don't have capability to
post, reply, private message, etc. The number of forums they have access to
is limited.
>
> 2) The second level of membership is a "Registered Member". This costs
nothing. All you need to do is submit the online registration form through
the forum. You're automatically set up with an account and can log in and
post to the "Community Discussion Area".
>
> You have pretty much free reign in this forum area. In addition, there
are other areas that you will have limited access to.
>
> Lastly, you will have access to the FREE Monthly Newsletter with
informative articles regarding automotive motor oil and filtration
> each month.
>
> 3) The third level of membership is an "M.O.B. Member". These are people
who have purchased any version of "The Motor Oil Bible" (ebook, CD, bound
edition or bound with CD). Basically, these folks will have access to
everything that a free "Registered Member" will have access to, but they
will also have access to ANNUAL motor oil technical specification updates.
>
> The first of these annual updates is already available on the site and
available for viewing/downloading. This is a HUGE revamp of the last update
of the technical specs found in The Motor Oil Bible. More brands, more
viscosities, tons of updates. Completed early May, 2003.
>
> If you are one of my Motor Oil Bible customers, you will need to register
for a "Registered Member" account first. Then, simply reply to this email
with your account username and the email address you used when you purchased
your Motor Oil Bible.
>
> I will then manually upgrade your account to a "M.O.B.Member" account so
that you can access the annual technical spec updates.
>
> Sorry this can't be automated, but I just haven't been able to figure a
way to do it.
>
> 4) The fourth membership type is, of course, the paid "Subscription
Member". This member type has FULL access to ALL forum areas. That
includes the "Community Discussion Area", a monthly "UPGRADE Newsletter"
with more content than the free newsletter and no ads.
>
> In addition, as a paid member, you will have access to MONTHLY technical
specification updates, resource links, exclusive member discounts on many
useful lubricants, filters, oil change products and other automotive items,
and member downloads.
>
> You will also have access to automotive product reviews. Each month I'll
be reviewing at least one new automotive product that members should find of
use. However, this first month, I'll actually be reviewing about 10
different oil change accessory items.
>
> Finally, any paid subscription member can submit a priority support
request to receive a detailed answer to any automotive lubrication and/or
filtration question within 24 hours or less. If it takes me longer to get
back with you, you'll get a month subscription to the site for free.
>
>
> The price of the paid subscription is based entirely on the responses
received from the survey I sent out a few months ago. Thanks to all who
participated. I think you'll find the monthly subscription fee is VERY
reasonable and is an absolute steal if you go for the annual membership
option, which gets you full site access and a few special extras at a 50%
discount.
>
> But, just in case you still find the subscription fee to be a bit steep,
I've got one more bonus up my sleeve. How about an extra 10% off any annual
subscription purchased before June 1, 2003. Just use Coupon code "A13D3"
(without the quotes) when you purchase an upgrade subscription.
