I think it is fine not to change this at all.
We all know that it is so expensive to be a VIP here but that would be that member's decision and not ours.
If they can afford it, then they are a VIP. I think the VIP members are also thinking that 10 BTC in the past is just expensive as it is now. Spending 10 BTC for the said advantages or privileges is for them to decide.
Theymos has said he won't lower the price of those ranks and I think they should left be as they are, however, I've long been a proponent of adding more titles such as Silver and Gold Memberships that come with the benefits of higher ranks like Full and Hero Member etc. There are multiple benefits to having them in my opinion such as curbing account farming and lessening the market for accounts as people would just buy the title rather than risk buying a dodgy account on the black market. Most people probably struggle to get a high amount of merit these days and the number of people signing up to the forum that will achieve a high rank will probably be very low and will usually only happen to exceptional users so I think paying to skip the queue would be useful in these situations. The higher tier one could maybe allow you to charge your name once as I know that's often something people want. There's plenty of other benefits that could be included as well.
I'll agree with the new titles though, but I think I will stay with not changing the price.
I am saying this considering the value of 10 Bitcoins which will be weighed against the privileges here in the forum.
I am not rich but for sure I will go with keeping that 10 Bitcoins. I should not say that 10 Bitcoins should weigh heavier than the privileges here in the forum since I am not that active here but considering the value those multimillionaires could only afford, well I think they are the only ones that could have that titles.
If we will be talking about privileges, why not just have a thread for those people that should have those privileges like the Reputation or the Meta section. If they can't afford it, maybe the members here could talk about it and have those privileges that could help the forum. Obviously, it will not be the same as the privileges of having a Donator Status, just that kind of status that would help the forum. AFAIK, this had been talked about in the Meta section.
no. i remember almost donating back in the day (~2012) and fiat wise it was WAY less costly. several thousand dollars USD vs what like 500 grand now
Wow! I think that is just amazing seeing the price that we have right now and thinking to yourself that this is what you've been waiting for a long time.
I would just like to say, Congratulations!
, he is a living legend but also an engima so I say never say never.
