SG Platinum Membership - Feedback Wanted

[Joe Star]

Hmm i dont really mind the current ads & either way i don't have a credit card to pay..........i guess its not for me. Hehe wouldnt mind the over 18 babes forum though

 

[Thelonious]

I think $12 is a bit much for taking away ads which I don't really notice anyway , depends what the prizes are though. I don't think turning it into a porn site would be a good idea though , there are sites that do that for free .

i like the idea but $12 is a little heavy for a platinum membership

 

[rhizome17]

Well, I personally wouldn't pay, but thats just my opinion and up to others if they wish to. It is just that I am somewhat opposed to any sort of commercialisation, but then that is obviously tempered by the fact that in order for SG to survive the ad content is required - victims of circumstances all of us. I can also understand people on 56k might be interested, given the amount of time it takes for the pages to load these days.

So long as some of of status-tier thing doesn't emerge, thats fine.

I have enough trouble finding a use for all the current smilies anyway, let alone any more.

The ad-free boards would be nice, but some of the other suggestions wouldn't do it for me. I think the differnce between normal membership and platinum is not enough, or good enough to make people opt for Platinum Memberships.

I completely understand that you guys are trying to keep costs low but I doubt this will work. I think you're better off searching for a "major" sponsor...

I will say no for the moment but i would be willing to become a platinum membership when i grow up a bit more and won't need my parents to use credit cards and things. I think maybe the fee is a bit too much for ads but it's not that much i mean 12 dollars are like 9 euro which even i can give where my parents dun gimme money. If i was more alive i would do smth to pay but since i am not able (School) to be here too much it doesn't worth for me to pay now.

I think it is a good idea and i will surely support it in the future.

 

[Mutt]

my girlfriend will just love it when i tell her im paying for a forum on the net lol ;(

 

[IceBlu]

naw...

I see no ads anyway thanks to the Adblock extension of Mozilla.

I don't care about bigger Sigs.

newer Smilies don't interest me either...

Being entered into lucky draws and stuff... hmm...im not lucky enough to win those...

so yeah... naw.

yeah, was gonna mention that one too.

 

[b-ytter]

The ads dont bother me,but if it's a way to help finance this forums and get some candy on the way,i got 12USD to give u!

 

[argylemonster]

i like the idea, but $12 is just too steep for a couple of smileys and adless browsing. what about us underage forum-goers eh? i say we just make it a donation type of money-giving. if anyone gives over $5, let them get the better forum. but thats just my opinion.

 

[sportgaming]

i like the idea of the multiple level memberships

certain features would interest me, whereas others would not

what about putting an individual price on the different features, allowing members to fully customise their browsing

not sure how practical this is, but i know that I would be interested in removing ad etc, but not a lot of the other features

 

[Nielz]

No dont like it. I hate it when you have to pay . maybe because im dutch but

 

[Zlatan]

No don't do it. A forum should be free of any charche for everyone. It will make Soccergaming some sort of a company and make it less popular amongst the members.

 

[Hans]

No. The ads don`t bother me that much.

 

[Callan]

Personally I'd never be interested.

But that's just me. I wouldn't subscribe to anything. I can live without it. If I can live without it, I don't need it.

It will be good for the website but.

Same here, its a good site and everything, but im happy just being a normal member.

 

[jatin]

I dont have many posts her..but i m a regular visitor for over 3 years now....
And i think the donate using paypal is better than the Platinum members thingy...
JJ's not here..or he wud have laughed his a** off!!

Hello
I like the idea, fine with me but 12 a year is too much. You should put something thats optional. Put something like 2$ minimum and 12$ maximum. There are lots of members on this site and even if the price is lower, the money is still good.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Well, personally I dont get remoted bothered by the ads at all, I dont use smilies very often, I am cool with the sig sizes and I dont enter prize draws, so the only possible motive for me to do this would be as a donation. What I would want to know is, would SG be getting the same amount of money through showing me ads as it would if I donated the $12, it's not a lot of money but I would only give it if I knew it was going to help SG more than it would for me to just keep the ads.

Also, I have had very bad experiences with Paypal in the past and would be reluctant to use it unless I had too.
