max power Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Haha, ok. I'd like to make a suggestion to the owners of the site. Have some kind of premium membership where long time/generous users can donate through paypal at a very reasonable cost to help support the site. They would receive some benefit . . . not sure what though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 11:32 PM) I think Soxfan1 and Whitesoxfan101 should be forced to change their names because their too similar to mine and im the oldest and the coolest of the bunch No go.

NorthSideBaseball.com (Cubs site) has a "Premium Membership" service. It was a joke. I don't really think you're a Commie though if you are, that's cool too.

Oh, I wouldn't advocate anything like that. Just a donation option. It would still be free. I am a capitalist pig.

Chisoxfn Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 I've always said this place is fun for me so I never and will never charge any sort of membership fee (you can all hold me to that). I recover costs now through the couple advertisers that are up here and one day I hope to make some nice side money on the other sports sites that are up (however, never at the members expense). Now thats not to say if someone offered me a 100K advertisement deal that I wouldn't jump on it (wink wink to any big time backers out there, LOL). Glad everyone here likes this place as I know without it I personally would know a heck of a lot less about the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 so, besides the starting over, will everything else on the board be pretty much the same except faster and better? Any new features? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any new features? There will be new features...I just don't know what. We will also be unleashing a new front page (finally I swear on the Sox this will be a permanent feature for the site...but it won't be released for some time).

Maverick0984 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) Well, in short, no I wouldn't mind at all the like most of those who posted. However, I do myself have a decent amount of database experience and would be more than willing to help out (in between my actual job hours) if needed. Just let me know. edit: honestly, something like post count/username even though I know it's a huge database, is probably just stored in a single entry inside of a table and would be extremely simple to restore :-/ and could be easily applied for every refresh auto-magically w/o any user intervention. although, it can be a good method to sort of weed out those who never come anymore, deleting useless data.
