What |
ZSpace is a gathering place for our users and Sustainers and a component of Z Communications. Anyone can sign up to be a member and get a page for him or her self. Those who choose to donate on a regular basis, however, become Sustainers and get additional features. |
Members |
To be able to read Blog and Forum posts, comments throughout the site, reviews, ZSpace pages of writers and users, and ZSpace community preference tallies, users must sign up as members (or Sustainers). This is easy and requires only that you enter your name (or a user name you choose and remember), a password, and your email address. Becoming a Member costs no money. |
Members |
Basic Members receive not only the right to read all ZSpace content, as noted above, but also their own basic ZSpace page to which members can upload a personal picture and biographical information. Your page is accessible within the ZSpace Community. |
Members Receive Updates |
Basic Members receive not only the right to read all ZSpace content and your own basic ZSPace page, as noted above, but also receive free once-a-week Update Mailings from Z with information, articles, etc. |
Members |
Basic Members can also post their personal preferences regarding books, music, and films, to be compiled into the community wide database and also to display on your ZSpace page. |
Basic Sustainers Receive Nightly Commentaries and More... |
Beyond being a Basic Member, one can become a Z Sustainer by pledging a monthly or annually repeating donation to the operations. This conveys additional benefits to users, as well as financing Z's existance. Paid sustianer memberships begin at $1 a month. For donating $3 or more a month or $36 a year, Z Sustainers get all the above basic features and also receive a nightly commentary mailing, get access to Z Magazine Online from the moment it is posted, and get to join ZSpace groups who establish collective pages about their interests, etc., including having a group blog, and other features. |

Large donor Sustainers who contribute at least $5 or more a month, or $60 a year, get all the basic sustainer benefits listed above and also receive site wide commenting capacity - commenting on all artilces, blog posts, reviews, etc. Large donor Sustainers can also participate in the Sustainer forums, posting and commenting throughout, which includes participating in the mutual aid forums, for getting advice and receiving direct aid from other ZSpace members. Large Sustainers also get the option of receiving RSS feeds of Z Communications content, choosing to get everything or to get only elements of the total by topic, place, author, etc. |
Major Sustainers Can Blog, Get Discounts,

In time it will include, as well, fees for short books we will be producing. Major Sustainers can also upload as many graphics, articles, poems or other files as they wish, for display from their ZSpace page. |

Monster Sustainers Enjoy 100% Discounts |
For those who want to and are in position to help us at a still higher level, you can provide a recurring donation of $50 a month or $600 a year (or more) and not only get all the above, but you also receive one of any/every item in the store - free - (though you can have only one video a month and one course per each of four yealy sessions, and up to one book a month, free, when we do them). So you get a free print sub each year, twelve free videos, four free courses, free mugs, and twelve free books, when we do them. The total cost of what you get, bought in the store would be roughly $600 a year. |
