Just saw the V.I.P. preview :D
What do you guys think about the whole idea of paying for more hacks or sources?
Please discuss :D
Also I'm not sure about the method of payment I understand the money will help pay for the site but the way the memberships is set up seems a little strange......
Re: Just saw the V.I.P. preview :D
Well we're not going to say "PAY FOR H4X!"
We have it set up so if you donate you will be rewarded with VIP status. Donations are always welcome. :)
Re: Just saw the V.I.P. preview :D
Correct but the Length of time you have V.I.P. membership for seems to be a little vague.
Re: Just saw the V.I.P. preview :D
At least 1 year. So basically you're donating for a guaranteed 1 year VIP status.
Re: Just saw the V.I.P. preview :D
plus it's not like they're saying "PAY FOR H4X" they're more saying "pay at least $15 and we'll give you more h4x, kthxbi" :P
Re: Just saw the V.I.P. preview :D
Yes but it sounds a little dodgy to me.... The whole there are ways to keep permanent V.I.P. status....
Re: Just saw the V.I.P. preview :D
The whole thing is to be user friendly without getting all legal. You donate some money, we give you VIP. That's it. No signing up for anything or any legal contracts. You give money, we give VIP. Simple enough.

Well said

Re: Just saw the V.I.P. preview :D
Except that by not having any contracts we won't get reimbursed if the site is forced too shut down.
Re: Just saw the V.I.P. preview :D
Annnnd why the hell would it be forced to shut down? As long as you don't break any federal rules, or terms off service (which we aren't) we are fine.

Re: Just saw the V.I.P. preview :D
An example that isn't valid...
Re: Just saw the V.I.P. preview :D
Ok for example Virus is no longer interested in hosting the site or paying for the domain.
Re: Just saw the V.I.P. preview :D
It is pre-paid for the next year or 2 (I believe just 1), and we have offers for free hosting from friends of the site. We're not going down anytime soon, dear.

If you donate the bare minimum ($15), you are guaranteed VIP status for at least 1 year (so long as you follow the rules). We don't want to take VIP away from good members, so if you contribute and follow all the rules you're likely to have VIP for life!
1. Contribute what?
2. Do you think you will ever promote a member to V.I.P. without a donation. (I'm not asking I'm just interested about the criteria)

Contribute to the site. Releases? Tutorials? Anything we find useful. We already have promoted a few users to VIP without receiving a donation. Don't expect it for you, though. It was only because of what they've done for the site.

just like you weren't asking about how to become staff for yourself :roll:
Re: Just saw the V.I.P. preview :D
You fail to comprehend that I have no problem with the answer being no for things like that and very rarely ask questions like "Can I please be a mod" I just try to be active, friendly and follow the rules.

Don't start a fight you two. <_<
