When you become a Soapbox Aristocrat, you move on up in our world here, and become one of the upper crust! On this page here, we'll tell you just what you get when you elect to join us at the top.

 • No Ads! - Yeah, you read it right. NO ADS. ANYWHERE. Ads are normally a necessary evil on web sites, but as much as everyone loves something for free, SOMEONE has to pay for the servers. If you join the aristocrasy, you'll never see even one.

 • Power and Influence - As an aristocrat, all of your actions carry more weight. When you cheer or boo a post OR a shoutback, it carries twice the impact as any other soapbox citizen. ALSO, your posts will receive more views, as they'll stay on top of newer ones longer.

 • Prestige - Much like the country club badges awarded to the elite, you too will get a token to show everyone your position -- All of your posts and shoutbacks will be preceded with a gold megaphone. Of course you can elect to not show off this, and remain incognito, if you wish.

This is just a few of the benefits you'll get as a Soapbox Aristocrat, as we're always working to add more to the Soapbox Nation experience. In reality, it's best for both you and us! You get a much faster website, less cluttered with ads, we get to pay our server and bandwidth bills!

To sign up as an aristocrat, pick one of the options below. It costs you less than a cup of coffee at most places, and offers a pile of benefits as you can see, with more to come in the future. Also, if you have any suggestions, we'd be more than interested in hearing from you.
