Cool OSX Apps Transition To Paid Membership Site

Dear Cool OSX Apps Users,

NOTE: We placed a FEW posts on the front page, since we had so many emails asking what the site looked like, since all they could see was a 404 Page Error. Only Members are able to see anything past the front page, be eligible for sales at 40-70% OFF and be eligible for the FREE software giveaways we are doing.

Cool OSX Apps is currently faced with a serious financial burden! We pay for the site out of our own pockets, from the expensive hosting bill each month to maintaining the site and ensuring it runs at optimal speed, so you all as the users can have the most pleasant browsing experience when utilizing our site. However, the expenses are growing each month, proving to be detrimental in being able to keep the site open. We simply cannot continue as a free site!

Since we have asked for donations from you (and to those of you who have donated time and time again, we thank you very much for your continued support)! We did not receive a sufficient amount to maintain the site, so we were faced with two options:
(1) We shut the site down forever (which we do not want to do)!
(2) We transition to a paid membership site for a very nominal monthly fee.

Therefore, as we do not want to shut the site down forever, we are forced to transition to a paid membership site beginning today, Thursday, November 27, 2008. The cost of the membership to gain full access to Cool OSX Apps will be only $5 USD per month and will be on a monthly subscription basis. $5 is just $0.16 a day or 1 Starbucks drink a MONTH!

We are also offering a discounted 12 months for only $50 USD per year (that is discounted $10, which is the 12 months for the price of ONLY 10 months); in other words, you get Two Months FREE!

When you purchase a paid membership, you will be offered the following benefits:

  • Access to over 5,000 posts containing hand-picked free, quality applications for the Mac, and updated on a daily basis.
  • Exclusive access to a minimum of four paid Mac application giveaways per month.
  • Exclusive access to top-quality, paid Mac application sales with deep discounts from 40% to over 70% off the original price!

You can purchase your paid membership today. To purchase your paid membership, navigate to the Register link and create an account with us first. Then, when prompted, select from one of the radio button options (either $5 USD per month (Member) or $50 USD per year (Member) and complete the easy registration.

Click on the PayPal button and you will be redirected to PayPal, where you will be able to securely setup your subscription for your membership and complete the transaction. Anyone with a PayPal account may pay for the subscription, and it’s easy and free to create a PayPal account if you don’t already have one.

If you have already registered on our site in the past and have an account with us, then you do not need to re-register. Simply click on the Login link at the top of the site, and do the following:
1. Select the “Subscription Information” drop down tab.
2. Select the “Upgrade / Downgrade Your Account” link.
3. Select one of the radio button options (either $5 USD per month (Member) or $50 USD per year (Member) and complete the upgrade by following the on-screen instructions.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and realize this is very unfortunate news to some of you. However, we did not want to shut the site down for those users who wish to continue to download and enjoy high quality Mac applications, have a chance to receive FREE applications each month and to continue to receive high quality applications at DEEP discounts for a very low cost of ONLY $0.16 a day!

Thank you for your understanding and know that we will to continue to provide you all with the quality resources available on Cool OSX Apps, along with several new items.

Sincerely,
Cool OSX Apps Administration Team
