Message: <blockquote data-quote="Morrus" data-source="post: 172727" data-attributes="member: 1">This is just a fact-finding mission right now.As you know, we need a server upgrade.  As you also know, these boards can do a number of things which, without a server upgrade, can't be switched on (we're talking things like search, "who's online?", private messaging, avatars etc.)So, here's the proposal which could kill two birds with one stone.  Pepole can have those features, but only if they are willing to cover the cost of them.  In essence, what I'm suggesting is a small voluntary (I'll say that again - voluntary) donation which earns you, for one year, the following features:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A custom title</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Search</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Private Messaging</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Who's Online?</li> </ul>Those are the things that can be activated on a per-person basis.  Things like avatars etc. have to be activated board-wide or not at all.There's a catch, though.  There always is.The features can't be offered without a server upgrade.  The server upgrade can't be done without the donations.  So we have something of a "chicken/egg" situation.  What I propose is that, upon donating, you immediately get a custom title of your choice.  I'll keep a public record of how many people have donated and how many we need in order to get the upgrade.  As soon as the required amount is reached, I get the upgrade and give everyone who donated access to the above features.I'm just looking for a general yes or no right now.  Throwing it in and seeing if it'll float, so to speak.  I will make a promise - you will NEVER be required to pay a single penny to use these boards.</blockquote>
