DemonGoddess Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 Anyway, as I said a long time ago, when asked about it, it's pretty useless as it sits. NORMALLY when one enables that in a forum like this, it's for user levels. Of course, we don't do that here. A good example of that would be a forum where I go to download games for the arcade. With my paid membership of $3 a year, I can get a certain amount of games daily. In order to get unlimited downloads, I have to pay. Alot more. They do that through the "purchase paid subscriptions" in the user CP (My Controls). Was going through one of the forums I frequent for modifications and such, and came across something that would let me change that from a subscription panel to a donation panel. I think that could be convenient for those members who choose to do that. Which is why I looked some more at the modification. In essence, it would work just like the paypal button or the donate link in the archive. So what I'm asking all of you for is your opinions of a modification like this, and if I should even bother doing it. NO, this wouldn't make this a mandatory thing either, to make the modification so that it works for that. That's entirely up to the USER on what to do. Quote
DarkInuLord Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 Eh, sounds like a good idea. I'd donate and all, since I love this site, and it's the only place I go for my fanfiction, but I've been broke for months. ; - ; Quote
JayDee Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 It sounds like a good idea to me also, if it's just sitting there unused and could benefit the site. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Posted February 16, 2008 yep, it's currently a completely useless link. Does nothing but open up a subscription option with no selections. @DarkInuLord - yeah my bills tend to make me broke (at best) 99% of the time too. Sucks, don't it? Quote
DemonGoddess Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Posted February 16, 2008 If you all don't mind, I'd love to see pro and con answers to this. It'll help. Quote
DarkInuLord Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 Pro: More forum users possibly donating. Con: Some people thinking they HAVE to donate.... Pro: It'll take out that useless link? Con: I have no idea. Quote
shinigamiinochi Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 During National Novel Writing Month, donations were asked for, but it was not mandatory, yet a ton of people donated. So, I think it is a good idea, though I don't even have a bank account, let alone a paypal account, so I won't be able to. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Posted February 16, 2008 My thoughts in doing this modification are not to browbeat anyone into donating. Far from it. It's more a convenience thing. Meaning, I could easily set it up once the modification itself is done for one time type with different specified amounts, or a recurring thing, or whatever. Kinda depends on what the users would need it to do as far as how I'd go about setting that all up. I 'spose if I do this, I'll have to put somewhere that this IS optional, and certainly not a requirement. Quote
Guest Hanakovic Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 well, it does sound fair to me Quote
maidenhair Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 I think it sounds fair and is a good idea Quote
