Ad-free paid memberships 

Post#1 » by Sofia » Fri Aug 30, 2024 11:19 am

Understand ads are needed to cover the costs for the site, but at a reasonable price I would happily pay for an ad-free membership.

I don’t care if it has special privileges or access to a “paid lounge” like other forums have.

I just want to browse without ads, without killing your revenue.

I like the idea, but I wonder how complicated it would be to support two site versions, not even talking about the cost to develop it - I doubt 1K posters with $40 a year will cover even half the cost of developing and maintaining it - though, again, I like your idea I def would pay a reasonable amount of money.

Came here to ask about this/say this. The latest pop-ups are ridiculous, when I click on the X, it actually sometimes tries to take me to another site, this is unacceptable, quite frankly. It's cheap porn site conduct, come on guys. I would also pay for an ad-free website, since I spend a good amount of time here anyway. Not 10 bucks monthly, but 4-5? Sure thing. Make it happen please.

I'm on board if this ever happens too.. I wonder what price point would make it viable? But I'd almost certainly give it a try

Maybe custom color names (non-mod ones of course) or other minor incentives too :dontknow:
