there are many easy ways to earn an extra $5 a month, that are worth doing to support the best forums OL...

no that is not bidness, that's ballin' bidnesses work for the Shroomery, which is a member supported organization. neither the sponsors nor the Shmoo would exist, if it were not for the Money and Wyrd of it's groovy members. i guess we just see this place differently, have it your Way and change it to Shroomery.COM.

I would support it, but I'm a pennieless college student, You would take away my avater, my sig, my ability to search, and my ability to rate people becuase I cannot afford to pay the shroomery. As much as I would like to support the shroomery, I cannot, I don't have the means. I don't see why you need to punish active members who simply cannot afford to send money to the shroomery.

It's not a punishment to those who can't or won't pay, it's a reward for those who do.

I think the way people are talking, you wouldn't loose anything you already have. Instead, if you paid, you would get more things that don't currently exist... an email account, a larger upload limit, a nifty "I support the shroomery" icon by your name, etc...

NO, NO, and NO! I don't know how this idea got started, but read the thread again. The Administration is not going to take away anything -- we are simply considering offer some additional features to paying members. Everyone will still have an avatar, a sig, a search page, and all the features they currently enjoy. <-- Official Bemused Admin Face

Take stuff away from those who either can't read or jump to conclusions.

I assume it would be used for something interesting.

I would assume it would be used to pay for bandwidth, to pay back debt for old servers, to pay for faster new servers, to pay for more disk space to hold more images from looser upload restrictions, etc.

No, you see I'm really the hidden controller of this site. All the mods and admins are secretly my puppets. As such all the money goes to me.
Of course now that I've revealed my terrible secret... I have to kill you all!

I like it, but I think it might be a good idea to give ssl encryption to every member. Not sure if it would be too much of a strain on they system, but I know of a couple of boards that do this.

This is such an awesome plan. I intend to be a lifetime member for sure! How about the ability to upload other formats like video, I suppose software upload could be sketchy because of viruses? I dont know. Not sure if its a rumor that Ralph is being investigated, but If they are going after vendors... the community is here to help. Just my contribution. Long live The Shroomery.
