While there sadly the previously-annual Phoronix meet-up at Oktoberfest in Munich remains defunct, in honor of Oktoberfest 2024 kicking off this weekend in Munich, it's time for the annual [1]Phoronix Premium special. With the Oktoberfest sale you can go ad-free, multi-page articles on a single page, native dark mode support, and other benefits while supporting the site and enjoying a discounted rate.

In honor of Oktoberfest getting underway in Munich, I'm honoring what was the [2]Phoronix 20th birthday special back in June. The standard rate for Phoronix Premium is typically $45 USD per year or $250 for a lifetime subscription. For this 2024 Oktoberfest special, you can go premium at $30 USD per year or $150 for a lifetime subscription -- a savings of $15 annual or $100 off the lifetime rate. From now through the end of next week (29 September, end of day for any timezone... not particularly strict) is this premium special.

To take advantage of this deal, first ensure you need to be registered on the [3]Phoronix Forums as the forums are what handles the subscription/user management aspect. There isn't any integrated sales support in there so the normal prices of premium subscriptions are listed there still. To get the discounted deals of $30 for a year subscription or $150 for a lifetime subscription, PayPal the amount of money to [4][email protected] (or you can use [5]this PayPal link ). For those preferring not to use PayPal or just want to use a CC directly, [6]this Stripe link is accepted as well . Or if just wanting to provide a tip via those means, that's fine too and much appreciated. Sending any amount extra will be treated as a tip or can be renewed for multiple years if desired, thanks! Then as soon as possible I will have activated your forum account to premium status. If your payment email address is different from your forum's registered email address, please include your forum username when making the payment. Custom corporate/company-wide subscriptions and more can be made available by contacting me or for other options.

Thanks for your support during these turbulent times for web publishers and the sad state of the ad industry... And for those going to the Wiesn this year, prost!
