Patron perks, redux

@Panther Yes, there’s usually breaking changes in major releases. There is definitely another one in NodeBB 3.x so let’s now raise it until we upgrade again. I’ll do it before the end of the week.

The main problem is that TripleA is not interesting in upgrading their own forums for PBF. Despite the fact that that is a security problem.

The “trophy” plugin is installed but now I need to update the forum Theme to show them. Always something.

Unfortunately the avatar idea is trickier than it seems so:

Bronze: badge
Silver: no ads, badge
Gold: discount, no ads, badge

I think that this idea is the best of what I’ve heard so far. I think that maybe perhaps the higher tiers might need to come at a higher price if costs have increased. Right now we have:

Bronze - $10
Silver - $25
Gold - $50

I like Bronze at $10 - I contributed a little bit, here’s proof. But maybe we might think about Silver at $30 and Gold at $60. Higher tiers - get more after giving more. I know I don’t speak for everyone, but I’d chip in $60 for gold. And yes, it put my money where my mouth is, when I do send my PayPal for my gold, I’ll send $60 this year.

Also, why not a Platinum tier. Do it for, say, $100. I don’t know if I’d plop down for that, but I guess it depends on what you or someone else can think up for possible Platinum tier benefits besides a badge that might get confused for Silver…

Another idea - sign up for Patreon.com. Perhaps some people who can’t do $50 in one shot can do $5 every month - which would be $60 for you, minus whatever Patreon charges.

As promised, I dropped $60 for Gold. Now to see how long it takes el Jefe to get caught up to his backlog…

Everyone,

I’m more than happy to do my small part to help out this great forum,…A&A.Org.

I’ve gotton much more Fun, Knowledge, Opinions(good & bad), and Fellowship here than I’d ever hoped for.
