Expiring sweepstakes

[indian06]

I tried to use the expiring sweepstakes link this morning and my access was denied. It said that I needed to be a plus member. Is this a new change? Thanks.

Yep-check this thread from announcements:

Why not upgrade to SA Plus-only 30 bucks a year! A great deal

Hi indian06

Yes, Ken posted to the Announcements forum {1st place I check when there is a site change} and he explained why this was necessary:

Expiring and Expired Sweepstakes Sections are now only available to Plus members.

This change was 100% necessary to keep the sweepstakes on SA Free. We've rolled out new features and options for free since 1997 and this is no longer feasible
especially in this economy. It takes many people and costly technologies to keep the site running an updated. All the sweepstakes are still accessible on the other sections of the site.
The expiring sweepstakes section is being reserved for the Plus members who are directly supporting the site. Sorry for the inconvenience but we have to ensure the site will
be around for everyone in the future.
