fixitrod Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Just wondering what the paid subscription is for under my controls. I haven't heard anything about this. Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 I saw that too. I figured it's just part of the system and doesn't apply to the HQ. Quote
00BANSHEE Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 There was some small talk awhile back about paying a small amount to subscribe to this site. May be just around the corner. Quote

Cotton eyed Joe Posted November 11, 2004 Report Posted November 11, 2004 I seriously doubt it would be to make the hq a pay site. Honestly that would be foolish and would more than likely kill the hq outright. If anything there could be a pay SECTION. The thing I've seen at a few sites around the net, was to pay a small fee, and there is a SECTION only accessed by paying members. The good thing is you wouldn't have any of the "hey guys trust me to sell this stuff to you cause i won't rip you off again because ive learned my lession if you don't believe me call my mom she'll tell you i eat all my broccolli and go to school every day even when i dont want to because i have spelling to do and math to learn and its fun but sometimes i miss the bus its so short its hard to see" shit that happens from time to time. The other advantage I've seen, is people that pay get more options like censoring, larger PM box ect, and the HQ for example (or any other site that does this) gets funding to help keep the doors open rather than relying soley on sponsorship and advertising, and random donations.

fixitrod Posted November 11, 2004 Author Report Posted November 11, 2004 That's what people buy the banners for If it became a pay site of any kind the amount of people would dramatically decrease. The amount of visual advertisement would go down and less businesses would be willing to pay for a banner. There is just to much free info on the net. Sure the old people of the hq understand what we have here, but we'll have nothing without new people. Quote

ledofthezep Posted November 11, 2004 Report Posted November 11, 2004 The HQ would end up like a porn pay site...definately good shit on there, but nothing that you couldn't search around & find for free. Quote

BenBB Posted November 12, 2004 Report Posted November 12, 2004 I wouldn't sweat the pay thing, if Lee chose to implement it I'm sure it would be something like NYUK mentioned or mebbe a nice gold star next to yer avatar... BTW I just noticed the "HQ Legend" under a few of our names, that's cool! And holy worn out keyboards Batman, 5k posts led?!??!! Quote
