Bonaire WebCams Site Membership
Bonaire
WebCams members get special benefits not available to people just
"dropping in" and taking a look at the WebCams. A wide
range of membership options is available, ranging from free to quite
expensive, with benefits in proportion to the cost and duration of
membership. Some of the great features available to members include
access to our extensive WebCam archives, the ability to download
images more easily, and the ability to send electronic post cards
with your favorite WebCam images! Scroll down for more details.
Why
Become a Bonaire WebCams Member?
We have introduced a membership model for the Bonaire WebCams
because it has and continues to cost us quite a bit of money to
run this site, and we'd like to be able to keep it going and keep
improving it so that our viewers (and especially our members)
can increase their enjoyment of the site. Once we cover our costs,
we will be investing funds our members contribute in the form
of their membership fees to expand our services, ranging from
additional software functions to the installation of new and exciting
cameras on Bonaire, and possibly on other Caribbean islands as
well. Every membership gets us closer to being able to achieve
that and share it with you.
To
put it in basic terms, the initial equipment outlay for the Bonaire
WebCams was approximately $20,000, and it presently costs about
$800/month to keep the service running, so if you are a Bonaire
WebCams fan, you can show your appreciation by becoming a Bonaire
WebCams Member. Register Now!
