Astraweb retention being increased to 270 days

The "Limited time" statement might even be a marketing ploy to get users to sign up immediately. They might not have any intention of ever upping the price.

I mean, look at infomercials - they say "Order now while supplies last!", or "this is a limited time offer!" and the same commercial runs for a year.

That could be true, and I think it is. But I have had a conversation with one of the admins awhile back about how it was limited. But that was like 7 months ago. So yea, I think it is just a marketing ploy too.

That's probably true. I like the commercials with the timer already counting down the best.

I wonder how well kleverig.nl has done with that link being spread around and everyone signing up for $11/mo...
