Just an idea, 10k postsFollow

Since titles are no longer being issued, how about anyone that has hit 10k Dana gave up his duties be given 3 months of free premium?

Any poster here that is about to/already hit 10k most certainly isn't clicking on your ads. I admit (as do many in the OOT) to using adblock. It would be a nice gift to show appreciation for the devotion some of us have shown calling allakhazam our gaming home. You aren't losing money, and you may just convince some of the non-premium 10k to continue the service.

I'm pretty sure people spamming to 10k for 3 months premium wouldn't be an issue.

How about it?

I second the motion.


It's a good idea.

It happens way too often now for that to be feasible. And I bet spamming to 10k would be an issue.

Clearly, the answer it to make 100k the new 10k.

That is not and has never been the answer to anything. Didn't 2005's inflation teach you anything?

The correct answer is to instead give people, upon hitting 10k, an extended premium period for the same price - 4mo instead of 3, 9mo instead of 6, and 20mo instead of 12. Since the price itself isn't any lower, you don't encourage spamming for premium, but a reward is still given for hitting 10k.

A creative idea that I approve of.

We'd still be losing money, and there are several 10k's around who do not have premium. 8 months free premium? You have to be kidding! Our prices are so low and never been changed, that in itself should make you guys happy. With the economy the way it is, maybe we should raise prices? Smiley: sly

The numbers were given as an example. :-P

(Hell, even just 1/2/3 free months, for the first time getting premium post-10k, would work.)

This is untrue, btw. I have seen 10k titles issued well after Dana turned in his keys.

I'm just guessing that if the mod team, or somebody in it, knows/likes you well enough, you might get a title. Otherwise, they probably don't know that you exist and probably couldn't give two *****.

Then you just haven't kept up, no one has done any titles in the last several years except Dana (I lied, I think Nizdaar did one or two). He still had his keys until very recently... we just changed the locks and forgot to give him a new set. He stopped calling, we got butthurt, you know how it goes! /giggle

Damnit, knew I should play less and post more! I miss out on everything. Exo quits, Usagi takes over, Danalog quits, no chance of a cool title at 10k ; ;

Next Darq will reveal that she's a 48 year old overweight man!
