TiBB VIP
 
should the forum introduce a VIP feature?
let's say say a months subscription for £2, which would allow you to
-have a coloured username
-have a gif avatar
-have 'VIP' above your usertitle
-gain access to a private unmoderated subforum
-delete your own threads
-change your username (only once though.. if you want to change it back/change it again you'll have to wait until your next subscription)
-increase PM box capacity permanently by 20 messages
-look at who's appearing invisible
-hide post count and join date
-have access to a VIP theme
-not have to wait 30 secs between searches. idk if that can be done though
-have a 'VIP' award after 20 subscriptions
-change poll options
-have access to more fonts/colours/other formatting options
etc.

it's a feature used on a lot of forums

James was thinking about introducing a subscription service with coloured names and some other extra features a little while back..

There wouldn't be an un-moderated forum though :laugh:

But yeah some good ideas there Salman.

It would help out a lot with hosting and server fee's etc for the forum but I suppose there is a possibility that some people would maybe feel left out?

I still think it's a great idea though.

We can have gif avatars already. I had one a while back.

Not over 115kb

Some of the ideas sound alright, Wouldn't like it though if it included a private unmoderated subforum and being able to view people appearing invisible

If everyone used a gif avatar and sig the forum would lag a lot, that's why theres limits on the sizes, if you were a paying member those limits wouldn't apply to you.

Vanessa 03-05-2014 06:48 PM

yeah, i agree. i prefer pictures as my avvi anyway. :hugesmile:

Me. I Am Salman 03-05-2014 06:48 PM

^ yeah and the money generated could help pay for faster servers

reece(: 03-05-2014 06:48 PM

What's the purpose of appearing invisible anyway :s

Jordan. 03-05-2014 06:49 PM

Yeah, idg why anyone would vote no tbh.

Headie 03-05-2014 06:50 PM

If they got their own sub-forum for VIP only and they used that all the time, I think if some of your friends on here did VIP and you didn't, it would kinda single you out a bit and would either pressure you into buying it without wanting it or you'd just leave the forum.

But some of the ideas sound quite good, except I wouldn't mind us being given those for free ;) :laugh:

Locke. 03-05-2014 06:50 PM

Would be surprised if anyone actually paid.

Can remember that text feature thing a few years ago, think it got used about 5 times :joker:

Me. I Am Salman 03-05-2014 06:55 PM

more ideas:
-hide post count and join date
-have access to a VIP theme
-not have to wait 30 secs between searches. idk if that can be done though

Samm 03-05-2014 06:56 PM

urge no what's the point, I hate when sites have subscription services

reece(: 03-05-2014 06:56 PM

Can you extend the poll with would you buy VIP

AnnieK 03-05-2014 06:59 PM

Yeah I think it's a good idea in principal. If it's optional all good. Wouldn't like to have to pay a subscription to view the regular site. My partner is a member if a forum who asks all members for regular donations for the upkeep of the site and they don't get anything extra. It's not compulsory but loads of them donate.

Cant now but I guess anyone that chose yes would pay a subscription?

Well tbf Sam sites don't come free (not proper ones anyway) especially one as large as this and the forum owner pays it from his own pocket (there's been no advertising on the forum lately)

And a subscription option would help towards costs but it wouldn't ever be compulsory.

Jessica. 03-05-2014 07:10 PM

Yes, it's a great idea, I don't think I would pay for it myself because I don't really have much money for leisurely spending. I think it would benefit the forum a lot and I think if people are contributing money to the forum they would take it a bit more seriously too. I don't think it would make anyone feel left out tbh, They will deserve the perks for donating and it wouldn't be a steep price, so I would say go for it. :D

Shaun 03-05-2014 07:14 PM

and people thought the post count was an issue for elitism :umm2:

I see no point in it, and I wouldn't invest in it, so I voted no.

T* 03-05-2014 07:15 PM

Not you taking inspiration from my thread

thesheriff443 03-05-2014 07:17 PM

I don't think you can have a say on what's rude or not, I've lost count at how many times you've insulted me because i'm young.

clearly you are too young to know saying that members are voting no because they are broke is rude.

It's not an issue for elitism though as it would be available for anyone....its up to you to take it up or not. :shrug:

T* 03-05-2014 07:27 PM

This would be amazing! We could use the donate by PayPal service.

It would give you special features whilst helping the forum, I think that's kinda great and sweet at the same time :love:

I don't need to be noticed. I'm not an attention sponge.

Loukas 03-05-2014 07:29 PM

Saph 03-05-2014 07:30 PM
