Hello WJ,
Introduction: I have been thinking this for a while now and not really made any suggestions to WJ recently so here we go. First off if you don't agree with this suggestion then please reply with details why and give a short explanation, additionally if you agree then please back me up with further ideas in a response to this thread.
Proposal: Basically what I would like to see here on WJ is some kind of system for members to be able to purchase a premier/elite/VIP membership. Before I carry on, I am aware there is a respected members user group and also a few others, this is NOT to replace them groups, it would be an addition to the current user groups. The new user group would be a supergroup people can buy there way into a user group and gain additional site features, for example there could be a new forum setup for this specific user group to post in and release new projects in private as anything posted at the moment is a public release which is not always the best thing as I no sometimes I have liked to give away some of my web designs for people to learn from and possibly code for there own use but would only like to release to dedicated WJunction members and not publicly that anyone can access. I am sure there is other members also that have been in this situation.
Payments: With ther been a pre-installed feature to vBulletin of the 'Paid Subscriptions' then I feel that would be perfect to make great use of and is also easy to customise if needed. With regards to the subscription prices then I would leave that all down to the administrators as I am sure they could manage that no issue and would be able to alter the price of the subscription over time. Finally, i feel that any memberships sold would bring a lot more money towards WJunction that can be spent on promoting WJunction even more, server fee's or even to pay external developers to code new features for the site.
Feedback: If you agree with me then feel free to reply with any ideas that could improve my suggestion, look forward to see'ing what other WJunction members think about my idea.
Thanks,
MrOSX <3
