Announcing Updates to Websleuths Guardians!

[Fraize]

Today we're announcing an exciting update to our Websleuths Guardians membership program! Starting today, you can join our Websleuths Guardians programs with our new tiers: Websleuths Gold at $10 per month, and Websleuths Diamond at $25 per month.


We've also simplified our annual plan. Instead of $36 for 14 months like now, we're making our annual plan $30 for 12 months – which breaks down to about 7 cents cheaper, and in an easier-to-understand 1-year membership than a weird 14-month plan.

Our new Websleuths Gold members get everything our regular Guardians members get, but we've added a little extra flair for your user account in the form of a shiny gold ring. We're also donating half of your monthly membership fee, $5 per month, directly to DNASolves.com to help solve crimes. We'll start rolling out a dashboard soon so you can monitor your contributions towards the program.

Websleuths Gold - Ring Flair

Our Websleuths Diamond members get all that our Guardians get, plus $10 per month goes to DNASolves.com, a beautiful diamond ring around your avatar to show off your upgraded membership, AND you're given two free Websleuths Guardian upgrades you can grant to any non-Guardian on Websleuths. Spread the love!

Websleuths Diamond - Free Membership Gifts to hand out every month

What if you're already a Websleuths Guardians member? Existing members can upgrade any time they like. You'll be refunded a prorated amount from your existing membership before starting your new membership. But, if you like the program you're on now – you can stay on it as long as you like.

All the money we collect for Websleuths Guardians is used to pay for our costs. We don't make a single penny of profit from the operation of Websleuths. Any extra will go to DNASolves.com to fund DNA tests and forensic genealogy work for cold cases.

I invite you to check out our brand new Websleuths Guardians landing page to review the new tiers, new flair, and new benefits!

If you're an active member of Websleuths, just your being here posting and interacting with your fellow users is already hugely beneficial. The best thing anybody can do for us is to engage with each other on the site and spread the word to other communities. More attention on your casework solves crimes and brings comfort to victims and their families. Not everybody can afford to support Websleuths financially, but if you are, we'd be so grateful and honored for you to become a paid member.

I’m curious. If one is a guardian, but contributes separately to othram, would it be better to leave as is, or to change to the new guardian that’s combined?

Someone gifted my Guardian which i think expires in June.
When it expires I will go for the $100 one.

I'm happy to pay the extra to help Websleuths keep going.
There would be a big gap in my life if I didn't have Websleuths.

At a glance I misread what you get, I thought it said Gold profile badge and hair.

Instantly I thought oooh!, I hope I get one of those hair booster thingys that you clip in your hair.
I could have used it on hat hair days.

But we can all use some flair.

Up to you but you can also tell @Fraize what you are contributing already to DNASolves and he can upgrade you so you don't have to change anything.

What happens when you have gifted to several people and they decide to upgrade to the new deal? They retain the gift then sign up for the new deal when their gift expires?

So will Guardians automatically stay Guardians. That the only way things change is by upgrading to Gold or Diamond.

That's what my query is.

Great question @killarney rose
