Please don't. All it does is encourage spam.

Sounds good.

Its not really fair for people to pay for a section that do not even own a credit card.

Just operate a private part of the forum that is off site from the main one and if you do not like dont click on the contents.

I think Harry, what you need to remember is that Mark wouldn't just do the premium bit to keep members happy.. I don't expect the server costs are that cheap. I think it's a great idea! I'd be extremely happy to pay a pound a month. I'd happily pay 5 pound a month in fact.

I'd rather just do something like a 'premium' area, where for a really small amount (like £1 a month or something), those members can get a 'no rules' private forum, animated avatars, chat room, no ads and lots of other things that would be exclusive. This won't happen for certain, it's just an idea at the moment. If I did add it, it would be to help pay the server bill which is going to hit me in a few months (it's a lot.) Also, it wouldn't punish people who don't want to/can't afford to pay, nothing would be removed for regular members.



This sounds good.
I mean No Rules?

I would love it tbh.

OMG It would be amazing.
I have a vision of it being like Gold for some reason? :joker:

I would be willing to Pay, only if its not through Credit Card I mean it isnt fair on the people who would pay but dont have Credit Cards, I hate on websites when your willing to buy somthing and they ask for a Credit Card, I mean not everyone has them.


Sounds like a good idea though :)

Jayson 30-04-2010 06:21 PM

I'm guessing you'd pay by post if you didn't have a credit card

You could have a donation thing like wikipedia does and if you donate money it goes directly to Mark to help the forum. I really dont like the idea of the pay for premium option, It would be very DS like.

You can use debit cards as-well on pay-pal. And if you didn't have one it only takes 10 minutes to set up a bank account.

Jack_ 30-04-2010 06:23 PM

Yeah, I don't mind paying so long as I don't have to pay via credit/debit card.

I don't particularly want to have to talk to my parents about this forum :joker:

If Liverpool beat Chelsea this weekend I'll add one :joker:

Musicbox doesn't do any harm to the forum. It's not server intensive and doesn't affect forum performance.
What's vbookie?
Not sure there's enough demand for a computer games section right now :)



Yeah, I'll talk to James on Monday about what we're going to do with trolls/trouble makers, and the moderator situation for BB11.

Thanks mark :)

If you aren't gonna give back C&G post count can we have stars under our names at least? Please

Um, Why? :conf: :joker:

Stacey. 30-04-2010 06:26 PM

what do stars mean?

King Gizzard 30-04-2010 06:29 PM

I think we should go back to the post count thing there was when I first signed up

It was like 5000+ 10000+ 15000+ instead of the exact number wasnt it?

Jayson 30-04-2010 06:32 PM

We used to have stars under our names... I don't see the point of them really :p

Tbh I like the old one better but yes I would rather have Nathan's idea than No bloody post count at all.

The Premium thing is even worse than Karma. Jesus...

Patrick 30-04-2010 06:38 PM

OMG.

Yes!

BRING BACK KARMA!

King Gizzard 30-04-2010 06:39 PM

No. never bring karma back. ever..

Enid 30-04-2010 06:42 PM

Premium idea is good. The benefits shouldn't be too great obviously, that would be unfair on the other forum members, but I would pay for no censorship and larger avatars.

Smithy 30-04-2010 06:45 PM

Does that mean we need new mods for BB11?
