what about people that use ad blockers though

they should make an account and post

 

Omg @Elle make one of those annoying things that pops up saying “It looks like you’re using an adblocker! We use ads to support the site!”

Personally, I'm fine with adding new customization features for the VIP thing. That's something that doesn't seem like a big deal and I feel like wouldn't be too exclusionary or restrictive. I'm just really against making threads at any capacity something for paying members only. 

[Cherry Blossom 21,553]

i really don’t like the idea of a paywall. takes away the community aspect lanaboards has and what makes the site approachable. i think @BlueINK’s idea is great

[Cherry Blossom 21,553]

okay here’s a more in depth take because i was eating like 5 mins ago. 

 

im against tiers and reputation points hiding certain threads - i believe this was a feature on ladygaganow and it made the site so hard to become active on because people were reluctant to like posts of newcomers and also i wanted to share fan art but couldn’t for ages because i didn’t have enough rep points for that section. it’s just annoying and makes a forum hard to be active on and enjoy

 

paying for anything except an ad free experience is a no no for me. i mean, i wouldn’t mind being able to upload your own smileys/have access to exclusive themes as a cute bonus to an ad-free subscription, but having to pay for a vip experience to unlock threads will just kill the site. 

 

more obscure threads, such as general conversation threads could be unlocked by being active on the site, but that’s only if they really have to be. i still don’t think it’s a great idea. however if it’s introduced, don’t make the Mental Health threads only accessible via a certain method etc 

 

again, reputation points could unlock cool features to entice people into being active (such as themes, customisation features on the profile i.e. profile picture shape) but none of these features should detract from the site and should only be unnecessary but fun benefits as a reward for being active

this

[bigspender 8,368]

so here’s what i’m thinking:

 

it would be cool that if you paid, you got an ad free experience, change the website to exclusive themes, upload your own smileys. 

 

BUT you can also get access to these if based on your reputation points. maybe like,

 

1000 tier - upload smileys

2000 tier- first tier + access to exclusive website themes

3000 tier- second tier + ad free

makes me wonder what kind of exclusive bonuses i'd get

i’d do the tiers by 2K or 3K’s but i otherwise agree

[Umaniac 1,917]

Also a thing to keep in mind is that 1-5$ might seem like a small amount for people in the us or Europe but for lots of places in the world it’s A LOT.

this is definitely a pro towards @bigspender’s tiers idea

 

if you pay then you get everything but it also gives people who can’t / don’t want to pay the same opportunity

I agree wholeheartedly.

500,000+ and you get to hang out with lana but only for 5 mins

I really like this rep points perks concept but that might lead to people spamming to get their rep points up. Idk if mods still have access to the time users have spent online but perks based on your time spent online would be better tbh it would prevent spam to get your rep up and would lead to people visiting this site more which leads to higher adsense, kinda genius tbh

it really is! this is a great idea. 

[TrashMagiq 58,687]

and the people who don’t wanna do all that but still want the perks could donate & get them as well
