Take it to the next level. I too have a % of members who would for sure buy the app for two bucks. But as a forum owner I’m not going to pay for the service so no one on my sites most likely are going to buy the app nor am I going to market the app to my users.

The chances are pretty high that none of the other forums my members go to including myself are going to ever be on the list. Most forum members don’t randomly surf community sites. They are members of specific sites and only those sites. The chances of those sites being on the list are slim to none given the vast number of forums large and small that are out there. Thus the app is totally worthless.

If it’s free for the forum owners, you have many more that will jump on-board and in fact market it as a feature of the site. Again, if it’s free for the forum owner they will add it as a cool new feature and promote it to their members translating into not only more app sales but most assuredly a broader range of forums available.

I’m a regular member of probably twenty sites but I’d be willing to bet not one of them will pay for the service if I requested it. If it was free I’d be willing to bet most would gladly provide it for their members which again translates into more app sales.

There is no way this program will ever succeed unless it has wide spread application in the vb community and most forum owners simply won’t pay for it. Thus it renders the application almost useless unless the specific forums you visit are on the list which is unlikey.
