Premium memberships?

If it's under $5-10 bucks, I'll probably take the dive (per year). This is my most visited site on the web.
If it's over that, I'll pass, because it is IB.

I would imagine the premium memberships will not be offered until a full set of features are finalized. No one is forcing you to spend the money should you choose not to.

How about this. Have a $25 yearly membership fee. But have a discount code only Premium Members can use on particular DVD retail sites. Include Amazon if possible. Have something in the username info area that simply says something like:
DVD Polizei
Premium DVD Talk Member
DVD Talk Hero
Maybe add a little icon if necessary.

There is only one feature that would entice me to spend money on a premium membership, but since he has already been suspended indefinitely, I guess that is now a mute point!

I don't care where the money is going but this is my most visited site so if the features are good and the price is right I'll jump in.
As Benedict said all the current features on DVDtalk won't change, there will just be added features for premium members. I hope that stays true.

However, I think it is fitting to say that the feeling amongst the moderation crew, supported by IB, is that the rules will be applied to premium members in the same way that they are applied currently i.e. in signing up for a premium membership there will be some form of acceptance that one doesn't then automatically become "flame-proof".
(Please don't ask for further clarification, though, because I simply do not have it).

I know many of our members would be okay with an extra 10 cents a month if it meant that some of our poorer members were able to enjoy the same features free of charge. Please consider this. I would also propose pricing based on affirmative action for a better balance of race within the community.

Seems kinda silly to have put information out about this premium membership thing before being ready to officially roll it out. I think secretly IB/the mods love to see a thread like this start up and all the witty banter that follows.

I refer to it as "The silver go@t$e". Anyone should be proud to have one after their forum name.
*edit: I can't believe that word is forum censored. I thought we were adults here.
