Blaine Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Ever think about having ad removal as a subscriber package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted October 12, 2007 Author Administrators Share Posted October 12, 2007 Yes, but it's not easy to implement and would people be prepared to pay more than Enhanced service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accesser Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Yes, but it's not easy to implement and would people be prepared to pay more than Enhanced service?

Lt-DavidW Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Yes, but it's not easy to implement and would people be prepared to pay more than Enhanced service? Probably not, the adverts are unobtrusive to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nashy Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Perhaps Neowin management need to work out a cost structure of the extras and stuff they were looking at when shift first went live, and get an indication of how much people would pay. Or was that already done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berserk87 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 ^ Welcome aboard friend. the two features i think ill taking advantage of the most are the 1mb upload limit now, so i can post more pics without posting 1 pic over and over, and i dont have to compress the images. and the other one is the shorter flood control, i always accidentally hit active posts...right before i want to search something or check threads i posted in, then i have to wait a while to do it...

MasterC Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I'd miss my gold stars if I became a subscriber :shiftyninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead.cell Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Yes, but it's not easy to implement and would people be prepared to pay more than Enhanced service? Possibly. To be honest though, ads don't bother me. It's just the ads in text that bother me. Can't sweep the mouse around without having windows block the news I'm reading. :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
