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

8/18/15 10:18am

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

8/24/15 10:22am

I would pay 50$/yr for those features.

byujacob

8/18/15 10:47pm

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

BYUforlife

8/19/15 12:20pm

Those might warrant $12.

southernfriedcougar

8/24/15 11:48pm

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

MMM

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.

Y2k

8/18/15 10:29am

$50/year for that? LOL

Bravescoug

8/18/15 10:31am

Brandon Ogletree thinks this is a great idea!

fredgarvin

8/18/15 10:44am

...And we see where that got him.

El Fuego

8/18/15 12:14pm

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

fiberpost

8/18/15 2:34pm

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

Jacare

8/20/15 3:57pm

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

Breaded Hamster

8/20/15 4:27pm

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

Bravescoug

8/22/15 7:36am

it's $30 per year

El Fuego

8/22/15 9:43pm

So if I want to continue to have rainbow, religion, marriage and political...

Revolution

8/18/15 10:32am

No. No need to subscribe.

rainorsnow

8/18/15 10:33am

At least from what I understand, you're grandfathered in.

rainorsnow

8/18/15 10:34am

RE: TNT would love to be a grandfather

SanDiegoCoug

8/18/15 10:51am

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

El Jefe

8/18/15 10:42am

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?

El Jefe

8/18/15 10:57am

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

rainorsnow

8/18/15 11:01am

I haven't dealt with that yet.

El Jefe

8/18/15 11:47am

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

8/21/15 12:58am

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

8/18/15 11:15am

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

Veracruz

8/18/15 9:30pm

Don't forget the costs

Reedme

8/18/15 9:52pm

There's something to this

BYUMizzou

Yep, kind of like a global FO

Acorn

8/18/15 1:14pm

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

Deleted

8/20/15 8:04am

Not enough people isn't Cougarboard's problem.

CougarMandias

8/18/15 1:15pm

I'll comment here as a non-donor

CasualFan

8/21/15 9:23am

Yes, you appear to understand it correctly.

El Jefe

8/21/15 9:44am

not for me. i could care less about the adds

ColonelMustard7

8/21/15 11:48pm

Guys, this is seed money that will pay off big in the end.

El Fuego

8/18/15 12:11pm

I asked about a Cougarboard app a long time ago and was mocked for it

dchandle15

8/18/15 12:55pm

But is there free 2-day shipping??

zonacougar

8/18/15 1:06pm

only for the Haribo Sugar Free Gummy Bears 5LB Bag

germm

8/19/15 11:28am

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

8/18/15 1:52pm

Throw in some on demand True Blue episodes

RunningQB

8/18/15 2:04pm

i'd be a buyer at an annual subscription price of $20 or so...

ds7

8/18/15 2:13pm

I want a lifetime option.

Ssebo

8/18/15 2:20pm

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

8/18/15 2:57pm

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

El Fuego

8/18/15 3:40pm

That could be fun!

El Jefe

8/18/15 3:55pm

How much would it be just for the three months?

Harrison0Yfan

8/18/15 4:19pm

It's $14.95 for 3 months

El Jefe

8/18/15 4:41pm

Oh perfect

Harrison0Yfan

8/18/15 4:48pm

How about $75 a year and you BM me who the real insiders are?

2FarGone

8/18/15 5:04pm

El Jefe

8/18/15 5:30pm

Can someone explain to me the purpose of "Friends Only"?

robin

8/18/15 6:53pm

FO is the only thing that makes CB awesome.

Bravescoug

8/18/15 6:55pm

care to elaborate?

robin

8/18/15 7:05pm

You get to post on the board and only your friends can see and respond.

brj8

8/18/15 7:13pm

Ok, you are my first friend.

robin

8/18/15 7:25pm

we should get a halo or wings or something that shows we are premium... another

If no resubscribe, would FOs be cut back to 80? Methodology for removal?

roseyscenario

PGVikingDad

8/19/15 12:12pm

LOL. You shouldn't feel bad about it.

El Jefe

8/19/15 1:05pm

I would pay $50 per year for the ability to eliminate the filthy filter.

RalphWiggam

8/19/15 12:18pm
