ENOUGH

Neither WWMan or Boston are to reply to this thread unless its directly related to the topic at hand or to the suggestions about popular support of the boards.ie site.

In fact that goes for everyone.

Consider this a blanket warning.

i for one agree 100% to the donation/ gig idea.... as a long time reader/poster to boards (dont beleive my signing date) iwould definatly pay to keep it add free.

the only other board i have seen bigger than this is the ign (not the irish ign) boards and they are ad-ridden peices of brown excriment.

as to the mods board, its a great idea....

seriously you guys are taking too much out of it, i would have loved for a place where i could ask about the modding tools and rules without being laughed at for being a noob.

get a grip, get a life, get a.....minicall

I'm mildly amazed that there hasn't been one for some time, actually - I mean, the chaos that is the Admin board must make for some serious headaches for the senior admins.

The moderators are supposed to be trying to control the content being posted to each of the respective forums, and it's hard for them to get each other's advice, discuss policy, etc. in the Admin board without every one-post-wonder throwing his or her spake in and sometimes steering things completely off-topic. They have every right, as far as I'm concerned, to a bit of privacy when they do this. E-Mail/IMs/PMs are good, but it can be useful to throw a topic to the (mod) populace and see what everyone thinks...

It would certainly be better if the petty bickering amongst the mods were kept private. It certainly doesn't inspire confidence, and (to my mind at least) is sparking some concern.

Just my 2c...

There is a situation at the ARS forum,a highly technical Site of which I'm a long standing member, were you pay for a subscription and you get little perks.
It to is relatively add free. Their perks is access to a .pdf library on technical stuff. You will find information on almost anything computer related there,
They are written by members and administration. Of course boards.i.e. isn't nearly as technical minded enough for that, but maybe something like a package.

example:

Additional webspace (maybe 5mb-10mb)

Board.i.e. email address would go down great with members and there are one or two ways to do it without boards having to set up their own server.

Special titles like: Branded for life, or Member of the eleet(if it doesn't make people go insane.


I've seen this work elsewhere and its a real alternative to adds.

on the topic.....

mod board is good because i dont get spammed with rubbish in my email.

I like the mod board, but i have a few issues with it (ill post there about them:) )

Id be glad to pay 20 per year for 'stuff' (hmm, maybe i ownt be able to afford anything once i have to start paying for dsl:( ). Email and more space woould be cool and a custom title would be pretty cool. how about Flash Sigs?*

In short, i heartily endorse both these products/services


*before cloud has a heart attack at the thought, im only joking:)

DeV,
I like the idea about sponsorship of Boards.ie. I'd be up for it anyway. I just hope you don't give the sponsors special "Sponsor" tags or something. I wanna keep my "Sprite", I lubs it!:D

Mod board is a good thing imho. Can be used to train up a new mod, provide advice and keep mod flame wars off my screen . Just hope that muppets will know they have done wrong and get a chance to start behaving. If I was ever bothering someone I think I'd like them to just tell me, I probably didn't mean it and I'm an approachable guy.

i wouldn't mind paying for a few services, or only to support the site, would need a spinky credit card system though

hacktavist

I would definatly pay for things like e-mail, and more webspace mabey
But youd have to give more conrol over it like ftp access or whatever.
you should set up a pay-pal account im sure more than one person
would donate.

amp

As I have previously said I'd be more than happy to pay a subsciption/donation/bribe/whatever.

Xterminator

I understand the need behind the idea of a sponsor ...but

Id just like to mention that a two tier structure might be off putting to new members who will might feel a bit like 'an outsider' if you were to have boards they cant see/post to and a members section etc.

And i'm sure you still want to encourage the new members who are just passing through that there welcome.
