Soooo....

Am I member #1?

ETA: Where do we shut off advertising? Where's the chat? How do we get the new badge?

First 100 should get a special badge designating "OCFP First 100" or something!

Im willing to jump in next friday when I get paid but I am curious. Is this a one time charge or will this end up being an annual thing?

Just added mine, as well.

Sorry, chawks2 beat us both to it. Chat is in the Private Forum in the forum listing. I'm guessing the advertising switch is in the user control panel, but I don't see it listed. This may be an option that is automatically enabled, though. You set your badge in your group memberships. Since you have a custom title set, I think we need to do it. I'll verify with IMOG. EDIT: Found it.

Yearly.

Sorry, it's only a package thing... But its only $4/month, and it could even help lose weight! Skip one trip to the fast food joint each month, and you'll get in shape and have the perks. Plus you get a sweet shirt.

If you want more PMs, you could be my personal assistant and I'll forward all my PMs to you. I have a 4000 PM limit, and I delete all a couple times a year when it fills up.

Somebody else can have my shirt BTW...

No way I could squeeze into a 2X.

I'll be starting another thread to summarize the benefits and ensure premiums know how to get and use them. Just haven't gotten to it yet. For now...

Close on #1, but no cigar.

ADVERTISING:

To turn off advertising, go to UserCP>Edit Options. You can then select the "premium skin" which has no ads.

CHAT:

Chat is in the premium member forum. embedded at the top of every page within. It can be collapsed, as well as muted, if one would so prefer. It has a boing when people reply, which is kinda growing on me.

There is a technical glitch with chat currently - it works for everyone but mbentley and I. So if we aren't in there yet, that's why. In the future once I work that out, I'll be in there for sure.

BADGE:

Configured in UserCP>Group Memberships. This method only works for those with default user titles however. Those with team badges and such already, just need ask. Thideras already got you sorted it looks like.

FIRST 100:

I REALLY like that idea. Just need to figure out how to do it. Reminds me of Slashdot, where low UID's are kinda bragging rights.

TSHIRTS:

Going through Vistaprint on the shirts. They stop at 2X so we're limited by their offering... If that can't accommodate you, I'll try and figure something else out when I'm able. That's a big part of the membership, so when I get a chance, maybe I'll figure out a special order for those who need it.

Cool, ship it my way
Sadly I can't afford forum dollars, at least, not for now...

OK... Got all of that figured out but one...

Can't find the Premium forum...

Maybe I'm blind though.

 

[I.M.O.G.]

Below the distributed computing team forums, above the discussion forums... Give me 60 seconds then you'll see it. I forgot a permission setting.

Thanks for playing guinea pig!

No problem...

I'm on AIM if you need...

Should be all set now!

 

[Convicted1]

I would make the suggestion that $50 a year is probably a bit high while we're all talking...

I think you'd get ALOT more people interested at $25.

Also.. Need to setup a method to "gift" premium membership. Works really well on another forum I'm on.

ORRRRR... If iNet really wants to bust out the code...

Setup several levels of premium with different colored badges...

Offer a basic membership @ $25 with the stuff you're offering now... And then add a "Platinum" level @ $50 or something... Where you can get a custom user title... Stars... and / or ... Maybe even an overclockers.com E-mail address?

Just ideas...

ETA: $50 with the shirt isn't bad.... $50 after the first 100 get their shirt though I can see being a downer for most.

 

[ssjwizard]

I fully agree, $50 lifetime membership, or $20 yearly and I wouldn't even think twice about it. $50 a year is kind of a put off to me, and at that rate Im more likely to just let the ad's run.

alrighty il get er done but im gonna have to wait cuz im purchasing all my brass fittings this week, and gosh knows them aint cheap lol but once the rad test rig is up n operational that will be next on the list
hopefully it will be soon enough i get one of the first 100 shirts if not il have to buy one anyways ;p

 

[Bobnova]

It'd be nice if the "yearly" part were mentioned on the frontpage post and/or first post in this thread.

I was down to buy it when I thought it was a one-time thing (that's how it's presented).
At $50 a year, no thanks.

 

[hokiealumnus]

IMOG is handling all of this, but I'm pretty sure the $50 thing is mostly due to the shirt. It may be wise to consider a lesser, no-shirt option. And/or sell shirts separately too.
