Super Movie 51,628 Posted March 7, 2022 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. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cherry Blossom 21,475 Posted March 7, 2022 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 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cherry Blossom 21,475 Posted March 7, 2022 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 12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigspender 8,363 Posted March 7, 2022 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 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Umaniac 1,917 Posted March 7, 2022 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. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrashMagiq 58,443 Posted March 7, 2022 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 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
