Interlopers Specials

[Shr3d]

I was wondering if people who donate to the site can 'buy' custom user titles, post counts (maybe), special names (eg bold, colored, italic etc) or something that's suggested. That way people will donate more Not really a way to sell out, just a way to help out Blink pay for the site while getting a little in return.

[Woe Kitten]

Sounds like a good idea to me

[Shr3d]

I'm planning to donate $10AUD to blink anyway when my account is activated but until then I just had this idea since other sites have done similar things.

[Ale]

Sound fair. Good idea

[Penney]

i'd donate if i got an article of cloathing in return but even that costs

[Shr3d]

If I might add, purchasing advertisements should also be an option. Eg advertise your mod instead for $20 a month instead of this google ad crap.

Any other suggestions?

[Jest@]

not so sure bout the names thing...within limits, yes, but i hate the idea of lopers looking like a pysechedelic Pollock painting, i like it nice n clean, with low-key, out-of-the-way poster-info/avatars/sigs. Mod ads isn't a bad idea, but i doubt many people would buy them.

[Shr3d]

Hmmm... How about... damn I'm thinking / typing at the same time...

Bleh...

How about we (we being Blink) offer a RAFFLE!!! $5US per ticket, prizes are awarded as such

20% to interlopers.net
40% to 1st drawn raffle ticket
25% to 2nd
15% to 3rd...?

I don't really think it's neccesary, I mean you should donate because you want the site to keep going and to show that you support the site not so you can have some kind of special privellege. Also I think this would lead to people being like, 'OMGZ LEWK AT MY NAME I WELL LAIK DONATED 1337 AMOUNTS N U DIDN@T N00B!?!'

I think it should be left as it is.

except thats not the case. people donate to keep the site running, THEN would like a bit of recognition seeing as so many people havn't.

besides which would you rather have ads, or interlopers without ads (but you know that some people donated to look good, even if it isnt obvious at all.)

because people who care about the site to donate will not run around rubbing it in peoples faces.

[Hyp-R]

maybe a new branch?
home, tutorials, downloads, articles, forums, contact
and a new one called Mods

where basically, if you pitch some cashola
there can be some little blurbs about your mod.

[Needles-Kane]

You could just add "Supporter" underneath their name/avatar. It wouldn't really be in your face, but it would be recognition at least.

If people are paying just for the name, let them, it's not like they'd last very long with the kind of attitude Gaffer was talking about.

I do quite like the idea of your mod being featured, but this could be something only offered with a minimum donation of $20 or something.

QFT thats a system ftw.

[YokaI]

Why would anyone want to buy a postcount? If you want, just take my account and i'll create a new one. lol. 20$? Or will you make it 10?

What needless said. Supporter wouldnt be shoving it in your face. It's not like anyone will be shoving it into peoples faces because honestly, whoever cares what others think 12000km across the globe, that person is an idiot and needs to gtfo and get a life.

And yeah Yokai I just suggested it, was out of Ideas

I merely wanna spice up my name, Veteran is kinda... untrue.

/100% agree with Fearians QFT
