Hrm. Apparently, PayPal does not allow this transaction to go through based on my balance, but requires a credit card.....?

Just guaging the opinion on the exclusive content.
In the last month, 12 PDFs have appeared in the community supporter subscription section. Do people feel they're getting good value?
Yes. The Critter Cache is way cool, the adventures are worth it alone, even more so because they cover two editions, the quick kill book is awesome, the EN World magazine is nice as well as a glimpse at ENWorld history (I never new about it before and would love to see newer issues), and some of the newer stuff I haven't even had a chance to look at.
Has anyone had any experience with other payment facilitators, such as NOCHEX, WorldPay, Authroize.net, 2Checkout, Moneybookers or CCBill?
I use Authorize.net at work. It's OK. Their credit card portion is solid, but the echeck part has some annoyances (it functions, but if a check bounces you have to hunt to figure it out, unless you change some email settings).

Absolutely - fantastic value. It would guess that it makes subscription compelling even to non-supporters of the site (if you know what I mean - those people who would not otherwise have subscribed).
I haven't downloaded WoTBS yet, but some of the other freebies were cool.
Are Community Subscribers therefore subscribing to support the community, or only to gain access to the additional content? I suspect as usual, a mix.
Does it matter?

Strangely I think I'd be okay with having a PC die by a bear exploding out of his head. --Awayfarer, after having his PC put a furry ball from a Bag of Tricks into his mouth.
Yes and no. Utimately the money is garnered to support the site. Where it may matter is that if supporters are signing on just for the additional materials, that puts the site on a continual track of supplying new materials to community supporters. There is nothing wrong with that I'm just musing on the consequences of the different approaches.

That's the plan! I have craploads of stuff to give subscribers. Plus I'm working on deals with some publishers and manufacturers for even more cool stuff!

Limited edition EN World dice set raffle, anyone?
That is a long and hard road. I laud your efforts and wish you all the best.
Well, we've had 20 people cancel their subscriptions, so it's not all gravy. But we'll see what happens!
Set up a way to pay w/o credit card, and I'm all yours, baby!

Also you may find more supporters come in in the second month as many people re-adjust their finances on a monthly basis.
I think that is quite unlikely - I struggle to believe there are people whose finances are so tight that they need a months notice to find $3 to support a website.
If $3 is that hard to find then I don't see supporting ENWorld as being a priority for people.
