OverUnity.com Membership site ?

[hartiberlin]

Hi All,
I was asked to start this poll because some members said, they wanted to have the OverUnity.com forum
without ads, to get faster access to all the pages.

Well, there are a few options, how to do this.

1. I could introduce a membership fee for instance 3 US$ per month
and put the people who pay this membership fee into a new member-group,
who will not see any ads , so the forum will load much faster for them.
ALso they get the option to lock up their own threads and thus disable
other users to post offtopic annoying things to it.


2. The other members,who would not pay any membership fees would
still see OverUnity.com with ads and it will thus load slower for them
and they don´t have the options to lock/unlock their own threads.


Many thanks for loyal support.

Regards, Stefan.

P.S: There will be always free access to the main forum also in the
future, but only with ads.

@ Stefan:

Excellent!  I think you will learn a lot from this and whatever you decide, I am sure will make the site even better.  Thanks.

I would not hesitate at all to pay a most reasonable dollar a month!  Are you kidding?


If for no other reason (besides the fact that the cost is a no brainer) than to satisfy my curiosity.

I voted #3

Put up a donate button, so I can donate some money and get myself the Overunity forum ads free
or a subscription (monthly donation).. maybe different levels get you different perks. $1, $3, or $5... each level the better the experience.

But I do feel that ad based (free) should stay an option or we'll loose members.

I'm all for it, time for you to get paid Stefan.

One option I would love to see on a paid membership is the ability for an ignore list/button.  When a thread gets overrun with off topic debate it would be nice to filter out those who get overly argumentative.

Thnaks for everything here.
