That isn't Pay per Post is it? - I appreciate the fact your trying to facilitate the subscriptions method that is already in existence but it's not what most of us here are looking for.

We don't want the post to be available for a few minutes...what if they time out? - and People can post for a day - well that person could post a heck of alot of posts within a day... I have already been approached with these methods many times on the forum - which is why everyone here needs the ability to have a user "Pay per Thread" Plugin.

Also regarding this post from Hotboard

This link is so the owner of the board can pay users when they make a post - like an incentive program. Quite the opposite. I have posted messages on this forum to the author - and he says aslong as the request is high enough - he will hopefully build what we are looking for into the plugin! GREAT!

I would be very interested in this hack as well. It would be exceptionally handy at a forum I run.

Also, I am a moderator at SitePoint, and that is a custom hack that they use... I very much doubt they'd ever release it, too. So best bet is if someone here can make a clone. :)

That would work if you could limit the number of posts or threads that usergroup could start. Really that's all it would boil down to.

A paid subscription that allows a usergroup to post (where you specify) x amount of posts, x amount of threads, or for x amount of time.

*edit*
Found a hack that limits posts and threads :)
Combine that with usergroups, promotions, and paid subscriptions and yer done ;)

But unless you can remove them from the usergroup after they create the thread, doesn't that get messy if they want to buy another thread later?

Im looking for this hack too. Has anyone done anything like that?

im willing to add some money for somone to develop this modification.:)

I think if we've round up some donations we should be able to get this modification in a developing stage ;)

If you do that, people won't be able to buy 2 or more threads ;)

I'd be willing to pay a mod maker to make this if I get full rights over the code and i'll give everyone thats requested it so far in this thread a free copy. PM me a quote.

Just to note, you'd probably have to pay a HUGE amount to the coder for them to even consider giving you full rights to the code in order to sell it on to others.. ;)

who said anything about making this modification a paid option?

I'm aware of this. :P
