Well the time has come, I am running low on funds and every little bit helps me keep PSU alive. I an attempt to create more revenue I have created some subscriptions that allow you to buy new features on PSU for a period of 3 months.

Custom Title - $100.00
This subscription allows you to have a custom title for 3 months. The title is set in the user CP under "Profile"
Larger Signature - $75.00
This subscription allows you to buy some mercy from the almighty Sigbot. Your restrictions will become 500x250 @ 60k

View Post Counts - $150.00
This subscription allows you to view user's post counts.

Larger Avatar - $25.00
This subscription will allow you to have a larger avatar. 100x100 @ 50k

Package Deal - $325.00
You get a Custom Title, Larger Avatar, Larger Signature, and the ability to view post counts.
Yes I know that most of these are pretty expensive, but this feature has to make a difference in the PSU budget which is almost 700$/mo after discussion with the staff we have settled on these prices.

Please be aware that if you are one of the first to buy these features you will be a tester - as far as I know everything works AS planned, but if you run into any trouble please post here and we will address it ASAP.

Also note I have contributor tags back online, I will be going back in time to set old contributors with this tag, if you buy you will keep the tag.

To signup for a subscription go to the link below, be aware you MUST have paypal. No other payment options are accepted.

Not sure, like i said you are a test ;) Im going to give it a bit to see if its automatic and if not I will manually add. :)

Thanks for telling me how my forums work, my mistake. None of the features with vbulletin are documented yet, thus I have to figure things out on my own.

note this:

For those of you curious, it allows you to see everyones post count. Same thing the staff and admins have.

EarlyDawn

I'd be willing to donate $25-30 (Sorry, I can't do any higher) if you would give ALL the AGN staff their respective titles. "Reporter", "Photographer" and "Writer".

Hamma
2003-10-31, 08:50 PM
With the amount of reporters and writers we have that would be quite a bit to maintain.

2003-10-31, 09:25 PM
What about for those of us who don't want any of those goodies? Is there an option to not have any of those things added?

EarlyDawn
2003-10-31, 10:09 PM
I don't get it. How can it be any more complicated then copy and pasting the names of AGN staff to the respective columns?

I can't see it taking more then half an hour, max.

Happy lil Elf
2003-11-01, 02:17 AM
To explain: There's no way I could justify $100 for a custom title on a message board (the cheapest one I'd consider since sig size isn't an issue nor is avatar size). I've got quite a few actual bills. Word of advice, don't let you appendix get infalmed when you have no medical insurance...stupid appendix, hope you liked the incinerator you shitty excuse for a wannabe organ!!

......ahem sorry 'bout that.

Anyways as I was saying, most of what doesn't go towards them goes towards doing shit with girlfriend/funding for an upgrade on my computer. Ye ol' AMD 950 and GeForce 4 MX420 aren't really letting me play Planetside very well let alone any future games coming out :lol:

So you'll hopfully get a donation from me before too long, but going of the prices listed I'm positive I won't be getting any of the nifty features from it :p

It only shows your posts up to 500.

it would be better if those features were permanent, and dodn't last foronly three months

If they did that, then ppl wouldnt donate as much.

Hamma
2003-11-01, 02:43 PM

It would be nice if it was free to run a webstite, then I would not have to do this at all.

Sent, you can donate on the front page paypal link, and enter any amount. You just don't get any forum features from that.

Hamma
2003-11-01, 02:45 PM
150 Bucks to see how much u posted when u can PM yourself and see it for free ;-)
You cant see everyone's post count from that. PM's dont show posts anymore as they used to. Try it, wont work. And searching to see how many posts you have will only work up to a certain number like someone else said. You can sit back and try and find ways around our subscription, or you could donate so that the site remains. Its not free to run a website - especially a fansite. People have no idea.

Vernam
2003-11-01, 03:15 PM
I hear ya, its not free to run a website. :(
You can expect to see banner ads on PlanetSideImages (http://www.planetsideimages.com/) within the next couple months.

Lise
2003-11-01, 04:19 PM
Uh...

yeah.

Hamma, note how many posts people are making saying they can't afford this. The law of higher yields at lower prices is a very good thing. I'd love to support PSU in a heartbeat, but you're asking, for instance, for a year's subscription to Planetside for a custom title. That borders on the asinine. When you mentioned this on TS I was like "Oh, we get to send in $50 for custom sigs and whatnot. Wewt." This is insanity though. You really should consider lowering the cost.

Hamma
2003-11-01, 05:25 PM
I would if the cost of the site was lower.

I'm going to be putting google adwords on the site soon, since everyone thinks its too expensive. I should forward the bill to them everymonth.

Besides, how do you think people who already bought shit would feel if I lowered the costs? Not gonna happen.

Lise
2003-11-01, 06:11 PM
Give the people who have already paid extended time perhaps?

Squick
2003-11-01, 06:14 PM
Do you enjoy taking care of PSU Hamma? I despise taking care of my company's web site and Intranet. So I could not imagine having a fansite at all.

Have you ever considered shutting down PSU and opening something with less cost if you are mainly interested in keeping the community?

nobody here even plays PS anymore!!

We should jsut close down everything, and rename the forums "Hamma World" or sumthing. We can have a gaming section, with a PS sub-section, but thats about all. It'd be fun! and prolly cheaper.

Milo
2003-11-01, 06:31 PM
To the person running planetside images.

You should put the link to XMB back on your forums. They are a great group of people with a solid product. It's only fair :)

Ait'al
2003-11-01, 06:46 PM
Would haveing a your own server for PSU Make things cheaper on a monthly bases. If it does you could use funds to get one.( i have no idea what costs are for sites, or how they price different things.)

Happy lil Elf
2003-11-01, 07:17 PM
nobody here even plays PS anymore!! Stop simply trolling the BOHICA forums and it may not seem that way. Lots of people here still play PS, Eine, Hamma included.

Hamma
2003-11-01, 08:05 PM
I'm sure the vast majority still plays PS. As for liking to run this site, I love doing it otherwise I would have closed it long ago.

PSU does own our own server, in fact we own 3.

I also could have said nothing at all. but i did'nt
There was no reason to send it pm, its not a negative comment, its not a flame, its nothing but a comment. Besides PM'ing sux ;)
i apologize. Nothing was meant by it, When i checked your site I only looked for a footer because i wanted to id the forums. I thought they looked familiar.

Actually, If you think about it the gains are not really that meagre. PSU gets to stay open.

But Hamma, T-shirts would be nice ;)
