How can I become a Gentry?
For years, Community VIP, now called Gentry, was a private rank and could only be held by specific people. Now, Gentry is available to most community or project contributors. If you believe you are eligible, email us at support@c0m3un17y.net and we'll review your application.
Else you can join our Network Aid subscription plan on Discord for $9.99 a month and you'll be recognized as a Gentry during the length of your subscription.
