OblongShrimp Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 If we can get some consensus on what you guys think will work we can do it sooner. I am just buried right now with everything so I don't have time to track down vendors for stickers or shirts or dealing with any of that sort of stuff. If someone wants to figure that out though I am totally on board. If we want a new title and color or things like that I can make those changes pretty quickly on my end.

DETAquarium Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 My vote is for 3-4 different tiers, which you would receive a different color name title, customization of your "Advanced Member" title, sticky or icon saying I support ShrimpSpot. As I have said before any tshirts, hats, mouse pads, etc would be just a bonus. countryboy12484 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I support the $10-30 range But I say it should wait until the membership #s get higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allicat Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I think it should be either your a subscriber/supporter or your not. Not multiple levels, that's too complicated for who gets what. I also think the shrimp spot gear should be for sale to all members regardless of being a paying supporter or not. Is there a poll function we could use to let members vote? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Desireenfh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a poll function we could use to let members vote? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have to agree, to hard to keep track of all that I think a flat yearly fee say 25$. This would include supporting member tag, some type of shrimp spot item and the good feeling know you support the shrimp spot. As we grow we can look into a tier type system it's to much to employ unless we had 200+ supporting members. I would be fine with a fee and a supporting member title just to make things easy for right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamashack Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Why not have a poll to see which of the current members would like to offer financial support and then you'd know the level of subs you're likely to get. Think about offering a tangible recognition "gift" only if the next level of user limit is covered. Personally I'd prefer to go with digital recognition unless someone wants the hassle of storing, organising and distributing said gifts. If you are desperate to sell things then I agree that any sales should be available to all thus avoiding the situation of splitting the membership into the haves and have-nots.

DETAquarium Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Please start a poll, distinguishing tier versus non-tier, digital items such as name enhancements, colors, support sticker versus physical inventory such as shirts, cups, hats, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETAquarium Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Will can you start a poll? Where are we at on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamashack Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Ok I voted for 2 tier membership - sponsors I have considered to be a tier in their own right and so I reckon you can have paying and non-paying members. I also voted for no physical goods as to my mind the whole idea is to raise money for internet usage etc. so it would dilute the income if the cost of goods had to be considered. By all means have physical goods if you want to generate further income, but let the members buy them if they really want them. You could always discount paying members as an incentive if you want to make some sort of distinction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 ah I guess I should have made the poll clearer, I meant do we have 1, 2, or 3 levels of paid membership not 1, 2, or 3 total (including nonpaid). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I have created the different groups now. Please let me know if you haven't issues upgrading since I am not sure how to test it aside from letting someone try and upgrade . If you are already a sponsor or mod I don't think it will move you to the new group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 For those that are wondering how to do this, there is a new tab at the top that says "more." Click on that to become a supporting member if desired. Here's what I see. I don't understand the URL or Image thang though, and it won't let me buy a membership without one. ???
