nbblood 0 #26 September 28, 2004 QuoteOk then, how about just signing up anyway because you've gotten a lot out of the site and you want it to still be here in the years to come? QuoteThe way I see it is even if you don't see much value in the new features most of you have seen quite a bit of value in the existing features. That said this is a good way to "give back" and support what so many of us have enjoyed free for many years. That said I really don't see that paying a few bucks a month is going to hurt any of us. Yeah, what they said. That's why I did it mainly. The new features are all well and good, but for me it was just about supporting the cause.

Muenkel 0 #27 September 28, 2004 I personally like the feature of sorting my pm's. I've made donations fairly regularly, so now I see this as supporting the site and getting some cool new features in return. And I'm sure HH will work at adding even more features as time goes on. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenister 0 #33 September 28, 2004 ok.. here is a big one, for me at least... (other than the donation thing, which i figure i'm getting off cheap on, with the membership prices. 95$ for a year?) you know all the silly 2 line "heya how bright is your day?" PM's you get from time to time? you know like the 30 or so from Holly I deleted doing some pointless 'house cleaning" a few weeks before we lost her if I'd had the folder feature then, I'd still have them all.... i keep lots of silly emails that have made me smile, but i generally keep them pretty well organized in folders so my main inbox is fairly empty....one day all the clutter of PMs annoyed me enough i cleaned out a whole lot of them....I havent done that since... with the folder system i can keep any and everything i wish to and still appease the organizational monkey.... that is worth the price alone for me, and its cheaper than a date with a pixie whatsa matter JT? its only green pieces of paper, less than that since you have to use a credit card think of the beer and slugs we would have never enjoyed without this site... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

dixieskydiver 0 #35 September 28, 2004 QuoteWell, most of the Premiere add-ons aren't things that I use anyway. I know there are additional PM options, but I don't get PM's.For me, it was just a way fro me to schedule donations-I've been way too slack about sending His Forkedness money. I like this explanation. This is pretty much why I joined up too. I whore too much on here not to give the big guy some money.

tweak 0 #37 September 28, 2004 I don't think I'll use any of the new features, not right now anyway. I think the site is an awesome resource for skydivers and a cool place to hang out while surfing. I just consider it a donation to help support the site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyhi 24 #38 September 28, 2004 QuoteHope we add something in the future that you like. PS - what would you like to see added? How about getting someone to marry an ex? I'd kick in for the lifetime membership for that. Until then, I will have to wait till the start of my new fiscal year as this line item was not funded in FY04's budget.Shit happens.

dixieskydiver 0 #41 September 29, 2004 Quote PS - what would you like to see added? Well you already sold me but one thing I could think of is a way to organize threads that either I started or contributed. I don't know the easiest way or even if it would work, but you could use the search code and make a page where it run a search on my name and then organizes them by date posted. Maybe have it as an option that you can have it in a box on top of the regular forum posts and you can toggle it on or off. Sometimes my threads get buried or I forget that I was talking in one and it gets buried before I remember. Just an idea.

A re-occurring donation that I don't have to think about PLUS all these cool features that are just going on the shelf at this point.
