I happily pay my $3 a month. I come here mostly to game. Based on the number of users active in the different forums at any given time it seems most people here don't run or play games. At least the number of folks on the 'playing the game' is very low relative to the discussion threads. For example there are 50 people viewing 'playing the game right now' and more than 300 in the general discussion. Nearly a hundred are discussing 4e as I post this. I'd pay a little more for features that significantly enhance the gaming experience. Especially a quick user friendly way to post combat maps and a reliable, track-able dice roller. A nice tool for keeping up with mini-stat blocks that had conditions might be useful too. Unfortunately, these things would only be useful if everyone had access. Perhaps a DM's subscription that allowed one to invite players to use those features for his or her games? Maybe these things are too complicated to implement, but they would certainly garner my $$. My busy schedule fits play by post well, but some might pay for enhanced features for chat type games. I use my signature to keep a link to a post with all my games in it. I would hate to lose that. Maybe you could charge extra for sigs with images and such that eat up bandwidth? I might pay more for a tool that allows me better access to character sheets. Instead of having them scattered across rogue's galley threads, being able to link to all one's characters and the characters in games I run in a simple way would be nice. The other thing I'd spring for is reliability. Maybe paragon tier subscribers could still get access even when the site was down for everyone else? Obviously this would require some sort of back up server. Users have been very generous in the past when the site has needed an influx of cash due to hardware and bandwidth issues. Maybe you could have a special patron account where the extra couple of bucks would be set aside only for hardware, software and tech support? They should get some spiffy recognition for their generosity. Anyway, the ads don't much bother me. I have fast access and a nice big monitor, so I don't turn off the ads and I even click some of them. It would be nice to tone down the cleavage laden ads that draw derisive remarks from my wife. Keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing what you come up with.</blockquote>
