Front Porch : Benefits of Premium Membership

[Destee]

Peace and Blessings Family,

Thank You for becoming (or considering to become) a Premium Member! Thank You for helping keep our home alive!

Click Here to Become a Premium Member!

The entire Premium Membership effort was started because the community was dying, and i needed help to keep it alive. I'm just one Sister, and couldn't possibly do this all by myself. This is a true collective effort, in every sense of the term. Many have given over the years, in many ways. Everything counts. But if it were not for all those who helped financially, we would not be here today.

In the beginning, there weren't really any extra privileges (to speak of), to give those that financially helped to sustain us. But that didn't keep them from lending their financial support. Of course i was so moved and humbled in my Spirit by their great show of love!

Isn't that something, Sisters and Brothers helped when they didn't even get anything extra!

Now that we have a few extra features to give, i'm inclined to give everything to everyone, but i know in my heart, i owe those who help sustain us. I must take full advantage of this opportunity, to give you all ... the Premium Members ... some extra ... for all the extra you give, to keep this community alive for the majority of us! It has been my heart's desire to give you something extra, from the very beginning, and now that God has blessed the community to be able to do that ... i cannot forsake it.

So ... most all extra features are Premium Member Only!

This thread is to Thank You for your help, and make sure you know about all the features you now have access to.

While you are a Premium Member, please take full advantage of everything.

I've listed most of the additional benefits below, and will be updating as needed.

#1 Benefit - You help keep this community alive!

Additional Benefits of Premium Membership:


2. Blogs

3. Albums ... there's no limit to the number of albums you can make.

4. Visitor Messaging ... leave visitor messages on any profile you'd like. You can even leave messages for Regular Members. They will be able to read it, but won't be able to respond in the same place ... so you could use it to just say hi to them, welcome, or something like that. You can even leave links (promote your site) in the Visitor Messaging area.

5. Avatars ... add your own personal avatar to your profile if you'd like.

6. Edit Profiles ... you should be able to edit your profile in full.

7. Site Promotion ... Signatures ... you can leave a link to your site, in every post.

8. Search ... only Premium Members can use our search feature.

9. Private Messages ... only Premium Members can send / receive private messages.

10. Who's Online ... only Premium Members can view this page.

11. Private Premium Member Forums ... only Premium Members have access to this area.

12. Member to Member Private Chat ... only Premium Members have access to this feature.

13. Add Your Site to the Destee Network ... no reciprocal link needed.


The following are not Premium Member Only Features, but i wanted to be sure you are aware of them. First, we have the most loving, encouraging, positive, uplifting, and peaceful online community for Black People in the world! This is the greatest of our features, not easily duplicated, and everyone gets to enjoy it! We also have online classes, which are available to all Members, most every day. These are held in our own voice video chat room, which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, where all Members are welcome to participate. In addition to classes, we listen to music, tell jokes, share wisdom and knowledge. It's beautiful. I'm looking forward to having you with us. You are also welcome to host your own class!

Please browse all threads, join us in chat, and get more acquainted with all that we offer.

You can click here to verify the length of your subscription, and when it will expire.

Thanks again for your confidence and support in this community, our home. We will not survive if the Family doesn't help. Without your help, we risk the chance of becoming one of the many, Black Web Sites That Have Died. So please know, i am very honored that you'd be moved in your Spirit to go above and beyond, financially helping to keep us alive. Thank you so very much.

If you have any questions, please post them in the Help Center, or create a thread on the forum.

A Special Thanks To All Who Have Helped.

Peace and Blessings Family!!

First ... let me thank you all for being willing to help keep our home alive!

We've been able to stay alive, and add a new feature or two, for those of you willing to help!

Thank You Thank You Thank You !!!!

We now have another new feature for Premium Members Only !!!

Member to Member Private Chat !!!

This new feature is much like yahoo's messenger, except it is for us only, Members at destee!

Just add people to your Friends List, and if they are a Premium Member, the two of you can network, talk, chat, right here on destee! You do have to be logged into the community, for this to work.

Okay ... i've tried to make a tutorial to get us started, but if you have questions, just let me know. It's all new to me too, so as usual, we're learning together! So if you figure out some new stuff, let us all know!

Brief Tutorial

The image above shows where you will find this new feature. It's at the bottom of your browser window, right above the task bar. You can click on any of the images, and play around with them.

The image above shows a REAL conversation between Sister Purple and i !!! Just so you can see how it's suppose to look on your end! It also shows that you can have multiple sessions going, talking to more than one Member in separate windows, at the same time!

The image above displays the Member Options. Click on the button to the far right, and you'll see this screen.

That's basically it, as far as the tutorial goes.

Again ... you must be logged in to use this, and only Premium Members and Management have access to it.

If you have any questions, let us know!

Much Love and Peace.
