Okay, I just broke down and joined. I've been here since September 2010. I thought it was about time, and my supportive husband agreed. If anything, paying the money will force me to take more photos, so that's win-win.
So...is it worth it? What's the best part of going Ace? Personally, I was sold when I saw the Picmonkey perk...
Oh thats pretty cool. I didn't even know that ace was something you pay for, I though you got it after completeing 365 photos... learn something new everyday I guess. lol.
@allegresse You should be able to see your stats right away...if you go to "You" and just hover, you can select your stats. Mine didn't take any time when to change when I aced up.
I like having the extra albums and the browsing option of Suggestions the best :)
I like having three albums, but I joined because I wanted to support the website. In the broad scheme of things, twenty dollars isn't much to pay for what I get out of this site.
@lisjam1@parisouailleurs Definitely. I told my husband that 365 has been a wonderful "photography teacher." I have never taken a photo class, but have learned almost everything I know from this site. LOVE IT! :)
Thanks for your kind words guys, it's not easy running a site like this single handedly, every membership genuinely helps keep the site running. I'm really pleased you like it and continue to share your photos with us :-)
Agree with @sugarmuser that supporting the site is the main reason. The option of 3 albums is a good one but I rarely use it; it's always there if you want to upload more than one photo, though. And the stats, Suggestions, and editing with PicMonkey are all useful.
I actually don't use any of the extra features I joined purely for support for the site. The cost is a drop in the ocean for all the money i waste on meaningless stuff...best 20 bucks I ever spent!!!
Thank you all for your informative replies! I agree 100% with supporting the site. In fact, when I "plead my case" to my husband this morning (lol, j/k), I told him that was the main reason I wanted to upgrade.
This site means more to me than any other website (and ESPECIALLY more than Facebook, which I have recently deactivated). I have learned and grown SO much from 365, I can't even put it into words. :)
