It's just very odd that you would want a full member to suddenly be cut off in mid-view and have to clear their cookies to continue (you do understand that mod doesn't actually stop a determined person?). This makes some sense to treat lurkers this way, but not registered members.
Again, if this is supposed to be a way to raise money then you want subscriptions. Or maybe just notices.

Why?
I want it because I cant afford to upgrade my server and load is increasing. So, if I can limit the daily views on registered members, then those who want more views will have to purchase a subscription. In this way ---->> registered members will have limited access, so load will decrease AND subscriptions will increase which may help me to afford a upgradation.

Ohhhh! this doesnt came to my mind. Then, I think
Limit Attachment Downloads also a failure if a member can download attachment after clearing the cookies.
It would be great if there is way to limit thread views for free members.
May be something new with the help of
Limited Guest Viewing and
Limit Attachment Downloads could become as
Limited Thread Views - Motivate Free Members to Purchase Premium Subscription
I dont know what type of limitations are being used in
Limit Attachment Downloads, they can be adopted and cookies+IP restriction from
Limited Guest Viewing can be used. If IP restriction is used then that member cant do anything other than using a proxy and proxy access can be disabled on forum. There are mods available for this.
I think I will have to learn vb coding and try this myself. I dont know if its possible for me to create something like this. Are there any tutorials or helping material to learn vb coding in order to create a vb hack?
