Any Improvements?

Make it how it is for Battrick, with just certain member's/premium/(whatever you want to call it features) and also add an age limit, say 16+

# Private Forum
# Increased signature limit
# More interest in bank
# More vCash on daily basis
# Special downloads for cricket games
# Elite graphics tutorials
# No time limit between searches/posts

I completely Agree with him

Those were some random thoughts/ideas that I wanted to share with Colin. Of course, we'll need to think about each one them before such a thing is implemented.

To add to that :
* Private Forum - Completely Agree.

* Increased signature limit - Disagree, would make the site look ugly with dis proportionate sigs, loads of people with one size and then some with the other just wouldn't look right

* More interest in bank - I don't see why people would need more interest as it is only vCash but if it floats some people's boat then I'm unsure

* More vCash on daily basis - See Above

* Special downloads for cricket games - Just makes it seem to force people to become members which isn't what admins want. And what sort of things would be premium downloads?

* Elite graphics tutorials - Disagree, not a graphics forum, although there is a graphics section it's not the primary use of the forum, if people want elite graphics tutorials they should go to a graphics forum

* No time limit between searches/posts - I do agree with this one though. Not that it ever seems to bother me.

Well that's my fully fledged thoughts then.

Well as I said before, those were just random thoughts.

PS : Regarding the 'increased signautre limit', what we could possibly do is to allow sigs upto 150kb as long as they are under 300x100 pixels.

Don't know where you're getting $60 per day ad revenue from. It's sadly absolutely nowhere near that.

So we have:
- coloured username
- user title
- more PMs
- private forum

Donaters get all of that apart from the private forum already.

Before we go any further Colin, could you just explain what current things donators get?

 

[Pranav]

We can possibly allow few more things as well :

• Power to open/close self created threads
• Power to open/close self created polls
• Power to see who repped them

Poor Tom.

I agree with Pranav's suggestions. The forum I used to be an admin of had similar packages for the users. It was quite a hit. 20$'s a month for exclusive content. If the content in the private forum is good, I don't see why someone won't pay.

Give a one-week or month sneak-peak/preview for people so as to let them know what they would avail in the Private forum. Get people hooked and they will pay

Yeah, we're aware of what it says we should be earning with our stats but trust me we're not
Donaters currently get the usertitle, extra PMs and coloured username. We don't have a secret forum because, as has been noted, people would want exclusive content and we're very keen that all patches that are made are available to everyone.

How about when a user is banned, one can check the specific / series of post(s) that got him banned?

I'm not sure whether it'd really improve the forum but just something I'm always curious about but never can seem to find out!

Pfft, what a farce.

I like the bat and ball thingy adjacent to the forums. Well done.
