@Depict that would be preferred. I'll be reporting off topic replies from here on out.

I have seen that @philly has not stuck to the rules and requirements he originally laid out. I agree with you 100%.

Yes actually I have the only users that I have not are ones that have won highly exclusive contests. Also Power+ is solely at my discretion, there is no requirments read the thread... http://www.forumkorner.com/thread-176108.html

Do you have anything to say in regard to the OP?

My apologies to @envy @gunnar I had gotten prerequisites confused with requirements. Sorry about that.

Not really besides the fact that I have two new features that I have been working on that will be released rather soon. Also there really has not been many new Power+ members for an example there has been only a couple this week, that is nothing when we are getting around 50 members per day... Your active member count is off as well but just so you know.. I really don't understand why everyone is negative all the time regarding FK stats, members, and me.

Makes me want to do massive clean spree of members, or maybe change the name to negativekorner. You talk about not having many buyers so you want to charge more to your active buyers but you don't think that if you were just a little more positive more people would sign up, which means more buyers.

My number was an estimate of the active members with the Power+ upgrade.
A couple per week is still quite a steady rise in numbers. If I refer back to when I first joined, only about 15 active users had Power+ and it was very strict - only a couple per month received it.
That aside, I'm excited to see what's in wake for Power+.

Well you also need to keep in mind how much more it cost now to run the site than before and also how many active members that continue to support the site over how many new members come and try to support the site. With that being said it should be obvious why I am more lenient on Power+ now compared to then. When I started Power+ FK's monthly bills were 1/3 what they are now and there was more profits coming in then. Now there is more going into the site and less profit coming in. Realistically the profits have never really dropped what so ever and gradually go up however as I said the monthly costs are just going up, just as fast. It is not free to keep the site up 24/7. If you haven't noticed the site has not really been down or even been laggy for that matter besides when I re-implemented advertisements temporarily last week.

Now that is a mentality nobody should have, anyone is allowed to disagree with anything. This is a community not a prison.

You completely misinterpreted this statement.

Would implementing a new upgrade group be possible? It would decrease the fuss.

I would say Investors is the new upgrade group. However, it doesn't have requirements. So perhaps another new group? May be to many though.

DepicT · Apr 17, 2015

Or.... Adding requirements for Investors?

Imo, if Investors had set requirements, it would be the top tier upgrade group.

If he does that then you're outie.

Also we have too many damn groups @magic, don't think we need anymore.

Hurt · Apr 17, 2015

Power+ does seem to be a very common thing to see around here, and I wish it was a more exclusive upgrade seeing as it is the top tier of upgrades.
I see it about as often as its predecessor, Power. Nothing we can really do about that though as it is all up to Philly in the end.
On the other hand, those new things you suggested are very cool.

Astro said:
Reduced character limit

More signature freedom (we are only limited to two images at present)

Discounts on auctions and transfer fees

Award sorting

I think it would be cool to see those implemented, but I do agree with you that it is more likely for things of that nature to be implemented into Supporter or Investors.

I also like @"Envy"s idea of another upgrade, one above Power+.
It would be really neat to see a more exclusive, harder to obtain upgrade that is only for the top tier of ForumKorner members.

Not sure if upgrades count as groups, but there's quite a lot of them now to. I would like to see a group with Power+ sort of requirements but you have absolutely no-chance of joining if you don't hit the requirements.

I mean if that's what it comes to being decided, I'm sure Philly would work something out. I might even be "grandfathered" in.

So basically. This thread is just people who are mad because they wasted money on Internet pixels. In case anyone wants the shorthand version.

Thanks, I got lazy in the 2nd page. Thanks for the summary.

I definitely agree with the reduced character limit proposal. That would have no malignant implications and would be an added convenience for the Power+ community.
I don't really mind the signature freedom proposal. I wouldn't use it, but I'm sure others would. Power+ members are typically experienced forum members and understand common curtesy when it comes to excessive signatures, so I don't think this would be much of an issue.
Philly wouldn't allow discounts, but I'd absolutely love to have one. Even if it's as little as 5%-10% off. The problem is that Power+ members are the big spenders, aka the funders of the site.
Award sorting would be bad ass.

Great suggestions, Astro.

There isn't a need for a new upgrade group.
Would be nice to see new features as @Astro outlined though.

I am sure @Philly is working on it and all and everyone will be much happy in the near future.

I won't be doing a new upgrade group, I am content with what we currently have, if anything perhaps renaming the upgrade groups. New features are on the way, that will be nice!

I agree. Honestly I don't think I deserved power+, it should be something to work towards and then purchase, not just purchase.
