CougarBoard Sentient Forum

Simplified:

And moved to the subscriber model for all. If you aren't grandfathered in, sorry

I thoroughly enjoy my west side LES legacy seat! 🙂

Sounds like more than just a way to simplify the language, which is fine.

I really don't expect it to have a significant impact on revenue.

El Jefe

6/30/18 3:25pm

Just yanking your chain.

garyfan

6/30/18 3:28pm

Uh huh

RoyalPuma

He's mixing up "revenue" and "profit."

I can put up with almost any changes....as long as CB stays...not sure what I would do if we lost CB.

Not sure what I would do if we lost CB?

This. Fwd to 1:29.

Paco

So basic is $10 a year? What is premium?

coltonbyu

7/1/18 9:49am

You can enjoy 90% of CB for free.

cougfanblue

7/1/18 10:02am

Holy.... 50$ a year

coltonbyu

7/1/18 10:30am

I’m sure they’d appreciate that. We will see what we can do

7/1/18 10:38am

RE: Holy.... 50$ a year

El Careeb

For $50 a year will it automatically move the dollar sign to the front of an

supertux

7/2/18 5:58am

If I were a non-donor there’s probably no way I’d ever become one under this new

Odysseus

7/1/18 11:35am

I agree. $50 per yr seems high and why i dropped off. Interesting that OP

roseyscenario

7/1/18 11:52am

I didn't "disclose" it because it didn't change.

El Jefe

7/1/18 12:24pm

Wait, so if previously you hadn’t donated, then chose to join basic for $10/yr

TCuz

7/1/18 12:58pm

My understanding is you only keep access on a year by year basis

Odysseus

7/1/18 1:01pm

Huh. Good luck with that.

TCuz

7/1/18 1:05pm

I think it's a smart move to be honest. You are used to the old rules so I can

777

7/1/18 6:26pm

It’s odd to charge so much to the very people providing the content for the site

Icecat

7/2/18 11:46pm

That's a fair assessment, and definitely something I should consider.

El Jefe

7/3/18 8:15am

Reddit does have a subscriber option as well. And in terms of Facebook, it's free because they're selling your data

kirty

7/3/18 9:22am

subscriber option only removes ads as far as im aware.

coltonbyu

7/3/18 9:24am

Here you go

kirty

7/3/18 9:29am

"6. Create members-only subreddits" is the only one you cant do anyways

coltonbyu

7/3/18 9:35am

Reddit doesn't "allow" those; there's really not much they can do to stop them.

El Jefe

7/3/18 9:54am

reddit has a premium option, but only removes ads. They dont hold back features.

coltonbyu

7/3/18 9:24am

So glad I made that one time donation a few years back

paulb

7/1/18 2:00pm

Too bad about the change... probably will be less new donors now.

dchandle15

7/1/18 2:08pm

I think the names were broken. Super confusing.

TCuz

7/1/18 2:13pm

$$$$$$

coltonbyu

7/1/18 4:10pm

The only thing I wished basic donors could do would be to add photos directly

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

7/1/18 3:21pm

Problem with that, as I see it, is that uploaded pics directly to CB affects the bandwidth and cost directly.

Bert609

7/1/18 3:29pm

That and the lack of ads are the two most costly premium benefits.

El Jefe

7/1/18 3:43pm

Might you consider intermediate level for those who don't mind those 2 matters?

roseyscenario

7/1/18 5:43pm

The point is to provide additional benefits to premium subscribers beyond just no ads

El Jefe

7/1/18 5:47pm

If you can't allow uploads for people who pay $10 a month... Beyond greedy

coltonbyu

7/1/18 4:11pm

$10 a year.

JayOwen

7/1/18 4:31pm

Sorry. 10 a year. Still greedy. Compared to ad income from these users the costs

coltonbyu

7/1/18 6:27pm

Greedy? C'mon, man. This isn't just a hobby for jefe.

cougfanblue

7/1/18 7:39pm

And yet he still earns money off me. It's not charity

coltonbyu

7/1/18 7:57pm

"more ads per viewable page than the average"

El Jefe

7/1/18 8:02pm

You are right, though. I do still earn money from your use of the site, and I have no problem with you continuing that.

El Jefe

7/1/18 8:33pm

You're forgetting the potential costs of someone suing me because you upload an image you didn't have rights to.

El Jefe

7/1/18 8:01pm

As owner, Jefe has every right to charge what he wants, and you have every right

garyfan

7/1/18 8:40pm

Nobody pays $10/mo

El Jefe

7/1/18 4:37pm

We still get to shame the non-donors/subscribers right?

Superman21

7/1/18 5:32pm

Yeah, but now $50 premium users can shame those lame "basic" users

coltonbyu

7/1/18 6:27pm

No we can't. That greedy El Jefe makes it a point for mods to penalize posters...

cougfanblue

7/1/18 7:44pm

Lololol. Good laugh there. Never once seen one punished for mocking non-donors

coltonbyu

7/1/18 7:58pm

Of course you haven't. If they're punished for it, we deleted the post.

El Jefe

7/1/18 8:04pm

Well than an embarrassing amount slip through the cracks

coltonbyu

7/1/18 8:09pm

Probably. I don't think many people are inclined to report those.

El Jefe

7/1/18 8:30pm

Whining about $10 is just sad. I’m poor and even I feel bad for you

Epileptic Beagle

7/1/18 8:21pm

If you only pay $10, then you are just "basic"

coltonbyu

7/1/18 8:23pm

You gonna survive as a basic subscriber bro?

Epileptic Beagle

7/1/18 8:29pm

I still remember when it was $5 donation. Then they upped it to $10. Can’t

Dr MoBYU

7/1/18 8:23pm

Yahtzee!

cougfanblue

7/1/18 9:17pm

A perfect one, too!

It's usually lamb meat from a vertical rotisserie, served in pita, highly

7/2/18 1:43pm

If you're in Orem, Rimmel's has good quality doner

Rimmel's is my go-to place for food.
