We actually succesfully launched a two tier system this weekend, and our users are signing up faster than we expected. We save all the vb pretty bonus features for paying members and make basic just posting and reading.

hey, i went to your big soccer forums and i am wondering how you are working your two tier membership? what are you offering the different members? how much are you charging? has anyone complained?

also, i love the way you have a side bar with your chat, store, etc. can you share your template that you used for that? i would like to add a side bar to my forums as well.

great job

huss,

Did you hire a programmer to make the little system? How did you get ahold of something like that?

There's a code that 2checkout gives out for basic membership stuff, plus that code isn't something hard. All you need to do is have two usegroups and based on results of transactiosn move the users around them. Nothing hard.

I'll probably going to be having a donation membership option to get free stuff, don't know if it will be monthly or just a one time small donation. I am going to use the template modification where for ads for non contributing members. Sounds easy to integrate and I'll be giving away more things.

Are there any of these in developement?

Will there be one out? etc....

If nothing if moving....I'd love to pay a VERY skilled programmer/developer to bring it all to life.

Thanks!

Yeh, nothing hard for a php programmer... :ermm:

I am sure it isnt hard since you have to get the correct transfer protocalls so that you can submit those nice little credit card transactions... but since gaypal usual wont let you do that unless you pay them like 8000 a month... :p

Well if any skilled programmers want a job doing it, contact me asap!

It pays too
