Thread: POLL: Adding for-pay membership options

If SRP would need money to keep in existence as is, I would be more than happy to become a donating member, preferably without any extra titles or rights than the non-donating members. I understand this is not the issue right now.

As far as extra payable functionality to be add to the site, I'm not interested.

Best regards,
Bart.

Ditto for me.

Before i shoot my high horse.... one of the reasons you see people wanting to learn about straights is to save money... then they discover that they are going to spend $100+ getting only slightly more than the minimum (without all the "%AD"s) and then we tease them about super secret pay as you go content that they might think they need to have.

So to reiterate... take a collection sell a subscription whatever you need to do just do not make things exclusive....

now where do i send the deed to my farm?

I probably wouldn't be interested in paying for any exclusive features.. I really love how this forum is an open and generous place (not saying that would change at all), so I will continue to make the contributions I can. When I can, I will be putting razors in for the giveaways and helping people out with re-scales and brushes, and if things keep going well... some money will head to whoever it needs to go to. But honestly, I'd rather not have any "giving badges" and I really don't see myself blogging etc. But I do value what it takes to keep this place running, so I will do what I can regardless.

I vote yes!!
I do not support the idea of different badges or any public signs for different levels of contribution.
Not everybody has the same financial means. $5.00 may be a lot more than $100.00 to some people.
I believe people who truly want to contribute will send what they can.
Having different badges or acknowledgments may lead to a "who's better then who" situation. I don't think that we need that.

Just My .02¢

Another no voter here (boo!) but only because I'm not interested in the features. I do value the site though so would be happy to donate through some kind of donation button (I know the thread says the site is currently breaking even but just keep the donations for a rainy day or in case something needs upgrading... I insist! take it! ).
