Hypothetical Scenario: If Tip It got a membership program?


Viktorkrum77

Recommended Posts

So this is simply a hypothetical scenario, and by no means am I suggesting it be implemented.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, say Tip It (Forums) got a membership program for $6 per 2 months ($3 per month, $36 per year).

 

 

 

Along with the membership came privileges like:

 

 

 

-No short time posting limit for consecutive posts

 

 

 

-Larger avatar

 

 

 

-Larger sig and more lines

 

 

 

-Large location

 

 

 

-Access to 3 or 4 more forums

 

 

 

-Upgraded and more thorough profile

 

 

 

-Access to a private Tip It IRC chats (Runescape related, Clans, Market, etc)

 

 

 

-Newsletter on Tip It upgrades before the general public knows

 

 

 

-On site, special access areas (Runescape related)

 

 

 

-Etc

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, would you sign up or not?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW chose OT because I trust the opinion of the users here better than General, so the Runescape stuff is just second in this case.

-Access to a private Tip It IRC chat<--Funny You Should Mention That...

 

 

 

-Newsletter on upgrades before the general public knows

 

 

 

-On site, special access areas and easier guides.

 

 

 

-Etc

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, would you sign up or not?

Definately, and with real money (not the nonexistant stuff I use to pay for my buses)

I would just because I am a tool. Seriously though, if they made signature sizes larger, I would pay $5 a month to make everyone change them back. I hate seeing large sigs. It's really obnoxious on other forums that really don't have a limit, some people have like a 800x600 picture as the sig. I almost didn't add the second picture to my sig because I thought it made it too big, and I am still debating taking it out.

Well it wouldn't increase that much pixel wise (l,w), but it would change in the other way, the, 'your pixel is too high megabytes' or something, can't remember, haven't had the message in a while.

Even if I were a very active poster, I wouldn't. I'm fine with the OT and The Gallery. I don't need any extra forums. Larger sig and avatar sizes aren't something I care too much about either. There isn't really anything that would make me want to become a member. It might help if I played RuneScape but I find that game painfully boring now... Anyway, the membership plan might be beneficial to RuneScape but I don't see why someone would want to pay for both an RS membership and a Tip.It one.

I pay for forums :P . The Ctrl-Alt-Del premium has forums, and since I hardly get anything else out of it you could say I basically pay for the forums :D .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Haven't been there in a while, and I just decided to check it. Episode 12 came out today for all those CAD fans :P

I would not pay. Mainly because there would not be that many real benefits. I generally hate signatures and feel they are quite widely overused and abused. I find Avatars useful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also agree with indy500fan in paying $5 to force everyone to change them back to the old size. But I probably would just block them all.

I wouldn't pay for this forum, no! (..?) I am too tight with money to pay for something like this, I have to pay my gas bill which I haven't yet, it is ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã110. How can I have used that much gas? It's stupid. I have no friends on the internet and I like it that way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have no idea what that has to do with anything, or what the hell it was about. Apologies, and I don't usually type like this! Or talk about random crap!

-No short time posting limit for consecutive posts Don't need

 

 

 

-Larger avatar I'm fine without it

 

 

 

-Larger sig and more lines Don't need

 

 

 

-Large location Don't need

 

 

 

-Access to 3 or 4 more forums Don't care. This is enough

 

 

 

-Upgraded and more thorough profile Doesn't mean much to me

 

 

 

-Access to a private Tip It IRC chats (Runescape related, Clans, Market, etc) Don't use, wouldn't use

 

 

 

-Newsletter on Tip It upgrades before the general public knows Don't care

 

 

 

-On site, special access areas (Runescape related) Don't need/care

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's basically my answer. I just don't need any of this stuff. IMO, I'd rather donate 3 bucks a month to Tip'it than get these extras. Because it's not really anything important.

Yeah, now that I think about it I really don't need any of those except for the first one, no time limit between posts. Mainly because you can't report posts within two minutes of making your last post. I am not sure if there is a two minute interval after reporting something also, haven't had that happen yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would probably pay $5 a month for that.

No, just because I don't find it necessary to. I really don't want or need any of the options you mentioned :P

No. The only reason would be so that there would be a lot less annoying people on the members forums, but I still wouldn't pay for that.
