Damn_Smooth Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 You should bump supporters up to unlimited likes to give the peasants an even bigger reason to bitch more incentive to donate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdHeartBreaker Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) It's by far the best new feature mygnr has tried. Limiting the amount seems a bit of a desperate attempt to get some more supporters. Why limit it? Honestly dude? Excuse my frustration, but it's 5 bucks a year. 5 bucks a year towards the $330 a month that Subs pays out of his pocket in hosting costs... calling it a desperate attempt is a bit fucking unfair when we hardly push donations at all here. I'd agree you don't push donations but it's obvious you're thinking of multiple schemes to get people to support. It's not the price I'm bothered about, it's the fact it's limited, it could be a great feature all on its own. but in it's current stage it's a half-baked idea, it's not complete..in my opinion of course.Is the monthly tracker still there? I'd say that's a good goal to remind people of.It's by far the best new feature mygnr has tried. Limiting the amount seems a bit of a desperate attempt to get some more supporters.

RussTCB Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Just so I have this clear:UK Subs loses around $300 per month to keep this site a float but some users are upset that their "likes" are limited? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dariablue Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Here's an idea: instead of spending all the money your mom gives you on pot and Burger King you could give $5 to mygnr. It is obviously a money issue with you since you feel the need to bitch and cry about the board needing funding and those in charge trying it keep it afloat. Clean the sand out of your vagina and stop your incessant whining. Perhaps try being a solution instead of the problem all the time. It's good for you to try new things.

ColdHeartBreaker Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'm all for healthy discussion encouraging new ideas to bring in some money, why can't I suggest there's a better or different solution as opposed to creating a great, fun new system and then limiting it? I'll bring it up again, why was the tracker hidden? (Or have i blocked it and can't remember ) Having a reminder in front of user's faces may be beneficial. Or did it not do so well after the initial take over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dariablue Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 You can and I'm sure they would be more than welcome. It's the unnecessary digs that aren't. IIRC, I think people were bitching about it. Could be wrong though. I think JB's idea is great and should at least be looked into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did it not do so well after the initial take over?I'm honestly not sure why the tracker was hidden, I'm sure HV and UK will post a reason when they see the question. I get people making suggestions on ways to improve the site and that's always welcome. However, complaining about limited "likes" when you could fix that for yourself with all of $5 seems ridiculous to me. I could seem there being some validity to it if Subs' were making money on the site at all, but as it's been pointed out he loses quite a bit of money every month.

Of course we're thinking of multiple "schemes" to get people to support... that's the point of a Supporter's benefit. We really have a limited number of incentives we can use to get people to donate, so we have to take advantage of as many of them as we can. We're not trying to hide from that.I'm happy to review the number of likes members and supporters can give out, but we're not going to remove the limitation for members entirely. We need more supporters (there are about 70 in total), just like we need to explore other options in terms of ad revenue (JB has given us some great suggestions) to get us out of the red. We managed to get dropped a tier in hosting costs down for one or two months when traffic dropped, but as soon as the leaks hit we got bumped back up to the higher tier again.This is just the reality of the situation we're in. The site isn't going anywhere (thanks to Subs) but we have a goal to get the site to a sustainable position to guarantee it's future. I don't think the feature is crippled by having it limited, and if someone is on here enough to hit the limit so regularly that it bothers them, there's an easy solution to get more.

As I've said, the greatest feature, I'd buy it.If the leaks caused a strain, I can only imagine what will happen if Axl decides to release music.

highvoltage Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'm perfectly happy to do that for Supporters, just not for members. The cap is there to give the imaginary internet points some kind of "value", that's all. I'd prefer to just raise it for Supporters, but if people really want to see the cap removed entirely, that's fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The limitation is great and works perfectly good in other forums, even bigger than MYGNR. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
