Important: Please Read! Changes Are Coming!

[Vyvyan Basterd]

I'd rather pay for an upcoming feature that won't be available for a while than pay to keep something I already have.

I am fine with charging more, but I hope there is a lot more than just "signatures" and "rep power" for an extra $36 a year.

We're completely open to suggestions. We do want to make sure that subscriptions remain good value, and if you guys let us know what you want we can always consider its viability.

You're gonna drop by every month and give me $3? Sounds fairly impractical!

No, but I can drop by once and give you enough to pay for a few years...

$3 is what, about UK2.00 these days?

The reasoning behind that is resources. If everyone has access to search, the server explodes and nobody gets anything. Search, simply put, costs us large amounts of money.

It's one of those things I've always planned on changing in the long-term. But we're not in a position to right now. It's a goal, though.

That's actually really great to know. Thanks.

I agree.

Personally, it would be cool to make the subscription perks packages ala cart style (which might be harder to implement). That way you get to choose what perks you get when you subscribe at the $3 rate and then get everything with the higher tiered accounts.

Likewise, I would imagine a 5-year subscription ($360 money order) would be as good as monthly, but what do I know? I am sure that Morrus has reasons for the model he is choosing.

Are you running a game?

That would be idea, I agree. It's far beyond my ability to do at present, though. It's absolutely something I can see a couple of years down the line.

First, glad to see that things are working.

Second, $6 per month crosses that $50 per year threshold and says "expensive" (even if it really isn't). You'll have to offer some good stuff. And be careful about taking away from $3 subscribers...this is potentially dangerous (even if it shouldn't be or changes are seemingly small).

I look forward to learning more.

I have a 4 word Sig. I'm not playing $3 a month to keep it

I do fear the future announcements of the board becoming members only...
