You didn't offend me. I just wanted to help send you on your way to find your joeblow forum. You claim to have came here to help people, and you don't think WF is unique, so why are you here? To help people, or to upsell them on something? By all means, stay and "help". But don't sit around and tell me that you know anything about this place when you haven't even been a member for an entire month. Ya dig?

Well, DNf has had this free/paid model and is one of the most successful forums out there. And the exclusive section is expensive as hell. But that also means that only the people who are actually serious / doing well get to play. I think that a paid forum is a good idea....

Though Jon, you might want to stick some freebie merchandise up every one's asses if they pay. :p
 
Yes Yes,

Freebies will ease up my decision a bit!

But, freebie or no freebie, paid or no-paid - Im hooked to this forum and will always be come what may!
 
daa... ok, once I earn those affiliate cash, I'll also join :)
even with so many info stuffs, still haven't quite learn how to make decent cash yet.
 
This will drive shit away from WF. I support the decision. Now how are we going to know which account to pay and when to pay coz its only a week away. :)

So what are you doing with your guides then? Letting them in for free or locking them out until they pay the fee's?
 
<---- been lurking for a couple months, seems to come down to some preeeeetty simple train of thoughts, and this is for all the super super n00bs here. If you're not making enough money to at least pay for these subscriptions, or don't think they're "worth" it, or havn't found anything valueable enough here to make that sort of income AT LEAST per month, then fack off.

I don't make jack from am yet, but I know good info when i see it.
 
Sounds good to me. I'm just a lurker here but I only come on for 1 reason and thats to figure out new ways to make money. The paid section sounds like a place where the focus will be more on sharing unique ideas (as opposed to lots of flaming/junk posts) so perhaps I'll be more inclined to participate.

(P.S. $10/month will be good!)
 
I think three tiers may be a bit over the top. I suggest you just keep a free forum for B.S. and normal stuff, and then charge $200.00/month (or more, even) for a "Premium" section.

Having such a high monthly fee would help separate those of us who are serious about sharing knowledge much more apt to do so. I could show people how to make tons of money using simple black hat techniques, but I would NEVER post them here (or even in a $25.00/month forum) because as soon as the sheeple try them, they'll die out.

I recommend a basic forum free, and a super expensive expensive forum for the rest of us.

I get your point but that sounds kinda steep man. Think about it, you're going to pay $200 just to share your ideas not knowing what anyone else will share. Not saying I wouldn't pay it but I would have to know there is some seriously good shit in there.

I haven't been a member for long but here's my opinion.

A few months back I joined another paid forum (won't mention which one). The quality of info was very good at first and as more members joined it seemed to die down. It doesn't matter if you make it $20 a month or $50 a month. Unless it is limited to a number of people I think you will find that the quality of information will go down over time as more people join.

Especially considering since the only thing keeping those who aren't serious out is the money. It still doesn't mean you're not going to have newbies going in there and just leeching the info for the monthly fee and making some feel uncomfortable sharing.

Are you not going to promote the paid section? Of course you are, which means over time you will get more and more members and less and less sharing...but that's just my opinion.
 
Mixed feelings.

I understand the intent and can't argue with the model you're suggesting. Afterall, it is your forum. Stanley mentioned $25 or $5... it doesn't matter. I think he makes a valid point in that charging ANY fee should keep away the pure garbage. Let's just hope you go with $5 instead of $25!

On the other hand, I think you could accomplish the same without a paid subscription model. Basically, you have to earn your stars and stripes. The "premium area" would start with whoever you deem "worthy" - mods, guides, whoever. Within the members area there could be a forum called "initiation" whereby:

Thread Title = Members Name
Poll = Accepted or Denied
Outcome = certain % wins acceptance with a minimum number of votes needed

Let the existing "premium members" decide who is worthy of the "inner circle". You'll basically need people to "vouch" for you... ie eliminating the bullshit. If a newb wants to "get in" then perhaps they can pay their way in but at the same time, what is to stop Google or Facebook or anyone from ante-ing up $200/year to get the lowdown on the showdown... the "dirt" so to speak?

There are positives/negatives no matter what you do so obviously you have to do what's in your best interest. I'm just offering a few ideas off the top of my head after reading your thread.

Goodluck with whatever you choose... I'm sure it will make WF an even better place either way.

Cheers.
