In other words, will he still moderate his forum to make it the kind of place
he wants it to be? Probably, just like the moderators if most boards do.
If you're looking for a place to rant all you want, Reddit's not going anywhere.

NEW FEATURE: CougarBoard Premium removes ads, increases FO limit, and more!
CougarBoard
8/18/15 10:15am
Here's some features that, for me, could warrant $50/year:
snowbird

I like your ideas, btw. I appreciate the input.
El Jefe
8/18/15 4:08pm
I would encourage you to look at the last item on his list seriously. I love it
Cyclogist

I would pay 50$/yr for those features.

Oh yeah, I could definitely support that last New Rule!!!

Those might warrant $12.

Don't care about the ads. Only have a few FO. Been on for a few weeks. It sucks.

8/18/15 10:27am
It's not required to subscribe. You won't lose anything by not subscribing.

You should add a benefit for the faithful who sign up the first month.

$50/year for that? LOL
Bravescoug

Brandon Ogletree thinks this is a great idea!

It's not required. CB will continue as before if you don't subscribe.
El Jefe
8/18/15 10:45am
After I read the benefits I was going to sign up just to donate a little money

But a $60/yr XBOX Live subscription is no problem...

I'm pretty sure maybe 95% of folks in this thread can technically afford it.

No. No need to subscribe.

No, if you're already a donor, those benefits continue.

That's what Obama said...
AndyDwyer
8/18/15 11:06am
LOL, true. I'm not expecting a huge take-up, though.
El Jefe
8/18/15 11:45am
oh ok i was confused about your last statement about if we had just donated.
ColonelMustard7
8/21/15 11:47pm
Also, when is the roll out?
Revolution
8/18/15 10:33am
A lot of users can't afford that. It'll change the whole dynamic of the board.
Bravescoug
8/18/15 10:53am
How does it change the dynamic of the board?

Just curious . . . when one's subscription expires and they have 100 users on

I haven't dealt with that yet.

I don't think it changes anything, the biggest effect it will have is giving...
BengalCougar
8/18/15 10:57am
Sure it changes something. No new users can have "donor" status w/o
jdub
8/18/15 11:13am
Not really all they have to do is the 3 month subscription for 14.99
cougarfann888
8/18/15 11:16am
subscription implies a time limit to me, but perhaps Jefe views that differently
jdub
8/18/15 11:17am
He says of you subscribe for 3 months you get the current benefits
cougarfann888
8/18/15 11:22am
so, he really ISN'T doing away with the donor feature, he just renamed it, gave
jdub
8/18/15 11:26am
That's my understanding anyway
cougarfann888
8/18/15 11:30am
yep, rereading, that's what it says. I think you're right
jdub
8/18/15 11:31am
That's not my understanding. He is keeping donor status, and adding a layer on
garyfan
8/18/15 11:33am
That's pretty much correct.
El Jefe
8/18/15 11:50am
Architecture doesn't matter to end-users, right?
jdub
8/18/15 12:00pm
Agreed. I just didn't want to say it's the same, because it's a little different
El Jefe
8/18/15 12:04pm
It specifically lists the lifetime benefits separately.
El Jefe
8/18/15 11:48am
In essence, a $15 donation
zonacougar
8/18/15 1:09pm
Can we get something that shows we are a premium user, so everyone knows how
CougarTwins
8/18/15 10:54am
It should be a royal blue ribbon
coolcats
8/18/15 11:11am
You can have Vivint next to your name.
sah22

A mobile app only being available to premium would suck.
yfootball
8/18/15 11:12am
I don't want ads on the app, so this was kind of necessary.
El Jefe
8/18/15 11:51am
Could there be an option to pay for the app
Warner
8/18/15 12:28pm
this, I'd pay the 2.99 just for the app. Or give me free with ads.

Will mods get free premium status? Also, are you accepting mod applications?
benny1982

Yes, since they help me out, I gave them all subscription status.
El Jefe
8/18/15 11:51am
And there's the end of new members.
kccougar
8/18/15 11:20am
I think you're overreacting. $15 isn't that much more than the $10 "donation"
Revolution
8/18/15 11:36am
I agree. The bigger issue is increasing the FO limit. The more people who limit
garyfan
8/18/15 11:41am
I don't see too many people spending $50 a year for 20 more FOers
Mr Bassman
8/18/15 11:52am
You're probably right. I'm just trying to give them some extra benefits.
El Jefe
8/18/15 12:01pm
Lower it to $20 a year
Acorn
8/18/15 12:17pm
Unfortunately, the $50 price is about what it takes to remove the ads.
El Jefe
8/18/15 12:21pm
Make it ala carte:
Acorn
8/18/15 12:28pm
How would you know that if you don't know how many people will sign up for it?
Bravescoug
8/18/15 12:28pm
Getting some great feedback -- Two levels: $25 level and $50 level
Reedme
8/18/15 7:25pm
$50 per user per year

We kind of have that with the ignore filter.
El Jefe
8/18/15 1:50pm
"Kind of" is the key word because they can see your posts.
Acorn
8/18/15 4:02pm
I just meant the "global ignore" effect.
El Jefe
8/18/15 4:09pm
Ironic that many of the so called conservatives are the biggest proponents of it

At least the charade of a "donation" is finally over.
Kerbouchard
8/18/15 1:10pm
A feature to add to the app: GPS tracking of board members on live map...
zonacougar
8/18/15 1:14pm
Another feature idea for subscribers: the ability to post-n-host images right
zonacougar
8/18/15 1:16pm
El Jefe would probably have to increase his storage capacity for that
hessrp
8/18/15 1:19pm
This would be so helpful, but I understand the limitations.
cougfanblue
8/18/15 1:43pm
Especially for when I do a print screen of a photo from another website.
cougfanblue
8/18/15 1:43pm
That's not a bad idea.
El Jefe
8/18/15 1:51pm
I'd gladly pay the $ if it included that and an app
dmatt
8/18/15 2:17pm
Perhaps you could host it elsewhere, but it is facilitated through the board
zonacougar
8/18/15 4:25pm
And yet another feature idea: Grab all contacts from phone.
El Fuego
8/18/15 1:18pm
My idea was much better
Nikomedes

So for the freeloader that was just about to donate?
Anae4Anae
8/18/15 2:23pm
After 3 months, you'd still show up as a donor.
El Jefe
8/18/15 2:49pm
Then I don't get the angst. A premium option is a great idea. Make a Platinum
Anae4Anae
8/18/15 3:21pm
For the amount of time and entertainment people get here, $50 is not a lot
HendyCoug
8/18/15 2:34pm
You should have a free premium option to try it out.
Veracruz

If you add a platinum CB member option... will there be a luncheon?
El Fuego

It's $14.95 for 3 months
