Costs and conditions
You must be 18 years or older to use The Dig online community.
The Dig is currently funded (ie free to use) at least until the end of October 2024. Although we’re hoping to continue funding The Dig centrally beyond this date, we cannot yet confirm that, and beyond October 2024 users who wish to continue may need to pay an annual subscription.
This would allow forum to be fully or partially self-financed by the community. A full subscription is presently valued at NZ$150 per year.
Signing up does not commit you to continuing beyond the funded period. Users will be notified of subscription plans, terms and conditions, and the options available to them, ahead of any subscription introduction. As a user of The Dig online community you can step away at any time.
