Hello Fuji Planet,

I would like to announce a rather large event that will change FP history. Faz informed me last night that he has left Fuji. I hope this announcement does not bother him, but I think it would be unfair to not let you all know of this development. As a result, Faz has given us the password to his account, and, as a result, access to everything that only the founder can access, such as credits. Hence, we are now "on our own" so to speak, as we (myself and Shush) have complete control over the forum.

I think it is very important that we remain calm during this period of transition. There won't be many dramatic changes that quickly, because, to be honest with you, there isn't much that a founder has access to that a regular admin does not.

The only thing I would like to change immediately is the ad situation. With that, I would like to inform you of our current credit situation. And don’t worry, I ain’t asking for no money. Anyway, here’s the rundown:

We currently have 5554 credits.

We have used half of our gallery space, which will all be valid through March 2011.
We have 170 MB total storage.

We can purchase storage space in these amounts: (These are valid for one month)

50 MB- 187 credits
100 MB- 373 credits
200 MB- 746 credits
300 MB- 1119 credits
500 MB- 1865 credits

We can purchase additional time in these amounts:

1 Month- 150 credits
2 Months- 300 credits
3 Months- 450 credits
6 Months- 900 credits
12 Months- 1800 credits

We can purchase ad removal for members in these time amounts:

1 Month- 125 credits
2 Months- 249 credits
3 Months- 373 credits
6 Months- 621 credits
12 Months- 1242 credits
We can purchase ad removal for members and guests in these time amounts:

1 Month- 249 credits
2 Months- 497 credits
3 Months- 746 credits
6 Months- 1242 credits
12 Months- 2484 credits

I want input as to what our plan for spending should be. We don’t want to spend everything right this instant, but creating a plan would help. Of course, any monetary donations would be appreciated, but as you can see, are not really warranted right now. Keep all your cash for buying Christmas gifts.

Basically, credits is the only thing we have to worry about right now. Other than that we should be set. I just wanted to inform you all of this change.

Of course, we always want everyone to have a good time at FP, and we hope that this continues through this change.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Ein and Shush

We have bought ad removal for members for 3 months, until March 2, 2011. Enjoy!

Well the ads aren't that bad at all so I don't think you should spend credits on that.

PEOPLE USE UP THAT GALLERY SPACE!

Well, Faz had to move on sometime.

Exactly. And we don't want to let the space go to waste.

I think that we should remove ads for members, but not for guests too.

How long then? I'm thinking 3 or 6 months.

3 for now, the situation may be changed by then

Alright. Since we both agree on that and it would be a service to the members, I'm going to do that right now.

Ok. Im going to look at some possibilities that we could do

Alright, and we can discusss everything here in the public eye, so to speak.

I don't think we should buy anything really, until we need actual forum space or time.

Gallery pics can always be deleted (most are crap anyway)

Are the ads gone Sher?

yep

I think we could have some kind of announcement or whatever for DG and Faz, lest we forget.

Why would we forget?

A shrine for the new users to look upon in a dazed wonder?

Just saying you guys aren't the "new founders". There will never be a new founder for Fuji.
DG, Faz lest we forget.

I basically agree with that. DG and Faz are always going to be the founders.

And basically I don't see a need to waste credits right now.

Yes, the two will always be the founders, and they and all of us should always know so

Anyway...Eddie, Justin...I know you'll do well. Although this isn't really much of a change. It's moreover a greater responsibility for you two. Do not fail

The future is now
Don't waste credits tho.

Were not planning on spending all of the credits now. Were trying to conserve them. ANd yeah, were not the new founders, but we have that access

Let's hope the new generation is just us good as the last generation.

nothing good lasts forever

We won't waste credits. Remember guys, I'm going into business school after high school, so I know how to manage money.

Hey Ein, you should really purchase your TLD from forumotion.

They're charging more money than you can use to renew a TLD from a normal registrar.

Forumotion : About $22-25 US ( 1600 credits )
NameCheap : $10 or less

So, you'll save more money and spend less, if you purchase your TLD from ForuMotion,

We can't purchase it right now though. Our current one expires in 250 days.
