I'm not sure if everyone here follows Chris Pirillo, but if you do then chances are you have heard of the new "Gnomies" website. (www.gnomies.com). The new site is to provide a sort of "VIP" access to exclusive offers/content/giveaways for paying subscribers. Being a Chris Pirillo fan, I would sign up for the service. I like the features listed on the Gnomies website for the most part. The only thing I dislike about the service is the fact that you must pay for a full year subscription in advance. It is only $97 a year (less than $9/month), but I would like an opportunity to try out the service for a month and cancel if I don't like/use it. For this reason I think a monthly, or even 3-month membership plan, would be a better idea than only having the full year subscription. What are your thoughts? Do you like the plan setup? Do you think these services will be worth the money?

Gnomies had a monthly plan however, due to the fact that the passwords changed only when needed, people could take advantage of the system. Gnomies is great and I recommend it highly. The good thing is, if you signed up when they offered the monthly plan using the monthly plan, then you can still use it. I have an active monthly plan and have no intention of cancelling. As Chris has said multiple times, If you want a trial look at his past videos on You Tube. You can also see the chat in the back of the TLDR's. The discounts make the service pay for it self on there own as you get access to tons. If you like browse the site and you can see all/most of the posts but don't get the codes you need.

Granted the theme is but the content isn't. Don't forget there is also the rewards such as the Gnomies groups on Facebook, Empire avenue and Steam. There's the webinars. The IRC Chat Room. Minecraft Server. Team speak and game guilds. There is also all of the discount codes and coupons.

The Wordpress site is just the front of the service.

Well looking at the price change that Chris did personally I'm still going to stick around here on lockergnome.com and the forums personally. The VIP for 10K is way outa of what I would be looking for there. I've been a follower of Chris since the mid 90's. He does have some good thing and some things I will disagree with. But that is okay we are all allow to have our differences in things for tech.

About a month or two ago there was other payments plans for 1 month, 3 months and 2 months, but for some reason they were removed.

That's because people were gaming the system and taking unfair advantage of what we were offing.
