When it was announced they were going to offer permanent accounts again, I was considering it until I read this...

It's almost here—the Permanent Account sale! For a limited time only, you can purchase a Permanent Account for only $175.

Okay, seriously? Last time it was offered it was something like $99, a year later it's this much more? *sigh* Before it was the same price as 5 years of paid account, now it's nearly 9? Wow. Even with it offering a few more amenities, that's still *really* expensive.

Anyone thinking of getting one or already have one and are very happy with it?

It was $150 last time and the time before that.

EDIT And it appears that the extra $25.00 will go to charity

$150? Really? How'd I get $120 then... $150 doesn't sound right. Wasn't it the equivalent of 5 years paid time? Which would be $99 USD? [Looking down I see you said you bought it last time - I'll take your word for it then].

The extra $25 will go to charity? Hmm... that sounds kinda fishy. It's like going 'hmm... buy a permanent account and we'll make you hand an extra $25 to charity.' I mean, I'd prefer it to go to charity and all, but it adds up to an awful lot when I convert it.

I assure you I paid $150 threeish years ago and my friends who bought one last time paid $150. Really, honestly. It was $150. I can probably dig out the post or email (I'm anal like that). *Grins*

But I do now recall that for the first 24 hours (I think) a part of the $150 went to charity. So maybe that is what you're thinking of.

I don't know why they've gone with the charity thing, it kind of made sense last time when they were doing it out of the $150, but . . .
