I see it as a way of giving people something back for donations. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 14/07/2010 10:09:08 PM
So what if it's stuff other forums do for free. This isn't one of those forums, it's its own thing. And every forum does things differently.

There are some new things that didn't exist on the old place, and I think it's worthwhile.

If you don't want to give money to support the site, then you still get a fully functional, properly usable site that allows you to have discussions/lurk/make posts/whatever as you've been doing since it opened.

If you want to support the site then there's a little inducement for doing so.

While hosting can be had that cheap, I certainly wouldn't want to use it. Nebhead - 13/07/2010 12:04:55 AM 1816 Views
You want to charge people for functionality every other forum on the web gives them for free? Werthead - 14/07/2010 08:47:32 PM 1862 Views
It is exactly the same stuff Mike asked money for Camilla - 14/07/2010 09:00:55 PM 1488 Views

He does have a point when it comes to hyperlinks. lord-of-shadow - 15/07/2010 06:52:41 PM 1480 Views
There are other reasons why I don't want links in posts Nebhead - 15/07/2010 08:18:53 PM 1530 Views
Why is that? lord-of-shadow - 15/07/2010 09:14:52 PM 1699 Views

I have to agree with you here Ryan - 16/07/2010 06:55:43 AM 1501 Views
Advertising makes a site look like shit. Ghavrel - 16/07/2010 08:28:00 AM 1375 Views
Only if you choose to let it. Werthead - 16/07/2010 12:17:47 PM 1713 Views
This is just the BBforum argument rehashed. Ghavrel - 16/07/2010 06:07:20 PM 1680 Views
But those are the very things being introduced by the premium accounts. Werthead - 17/07/2010 12:44:05 PM 1728 Views

What's the point if people can't see my obnoxious, animated avatar?! Ghavrel - 16/07/2010 06:10:03 PM 1475 Views
Good lord Ghavrel, you're just posting straw men. Don't put words in people's mouths. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 16/07/2010 07:08:20 PM 812 Views
No, I'm mocking your arguments because they are dumb. Difference! :p *NM* Ghavrel - 17/07/2010 02:21:43 AM 807 Views
That at least is not a problem, as the premium accounts are introducing them to the site. Werthead - 17/07/2010 12:46:33 PM 1706 Views
They aren't displayed, so I don't mind. But what is "far worse" than other SFF forums? *NM* Ghavrel - 17/07/2010 10:08:47 PM 807 Views
