Paid boards are still a little off.  We want to make sure that we can satisfy everyone before we start them.  They will be loaded with features.  I can assure you that we will have better paid boards than all the others.  

One reason being that we don't care much about bandwith, it is the space of your account.  Another being that you will have better support here than anywhere else (ask the free members already).  Third reason would be, because why wouldn't we make it better than everyone else?  We have no reason not to

I know you need some features and I will try to give you and idea of what we will have because it is not all solid yet.  There are still a lot of things to work out.

[Joshua]

This is an idea, granted not all plans will have the same.  The higher the plan, the better the features and this isn't exactly what we will have.  These may get changed at anytime so DON'T quote me on it.

Moods (as seen at the top of this page

This mod allows you to select your mood and it displays in all of your posts. It's always the current mood, not your mood of the time of the post. This mood is displayed in your profile and above "posts:" in the message index. Just a little fun feature  You can easily add more moods in the "Mod Settings" area, it'll be the second thing down, as well as edit the mood name, filename, and order

Better permissions for boards and users

With this feature you are able to configure different ways to access forums:
- password protected
- only members
- only selected users
and you can select if the forums are displayed in the boardindex or not.

Add more smilies

This gives you the option to add more smilies which shows up in the smilies bar

Show IP & username (debating this for free boards too)

you'll see the username AND the ip-adress instead of only the ip-adress when viewing the access log

Calendar

This might be on the higher higher boards.  Not even sure about this one yet.

Global Moderator Center

The admin can control what powers the global moderator has. All of the settings for what they can do is located in forum preferences and settings.  The description may be vague but there is way too much to comment upon.  THere are tons of options in this feature

attachments

When writing a post, you can attach an image or something to it.  This will be monitored closely and will most likely only be available for higher boards.

Mute Users

You go into a user's profile and mute them.  A muted users is like a read-only user.  They cannot do anything but read.

Who's Doing What

Show's what users are browsing what boards

Opt-in mailing list

You can mail your users.  The higher the board, teh more mailings per month you can have.  Users also have the option to 'opt-in/out'.  Which means that they can decide to receive the mailings or not (no, we will not allow you to disable that)

Collapsable Categories

The user has the option to close the category.  Then whenever they come back, it will stay closed.  They can still open it but it only shows the category bar instead of all the boards (makes it much easier to browse large boards)

Hide Post

creates 2 tags "[hide][/hide]".  When the person uses those, someone has to post to see what is inside.

Quick Register tag

adds a tag to your template, you put it where you want people to register.  It is quick and simple, you just put your email and username in and it sends you an email with your password.  Also, there is another option to put email/username/password in and it just sends you a welcome mail

Censor Modification

Instead of censoring all words no matter what, a user has the option to turn censoring on and off.

Background image in posts

allows you to make a post with a background image

Only Admins can register new members

Makes an option so only admins can register new members, or if the admin chooses the users may be sent to a que where they then wait for the admin's confirmation

Admins with invisible login

An admin chooses in their profile to login invisibly so no one can see them on the users online list and it doesn't show up anywhere else

User selectable template

we may or may not have this.. users have the option to select from a list of templates that the admins have provided

No smilies or BBC

Considering this for free boards too.  It allows the admin to select whether to allow BBC in signatures, posts, im's, etc.  Each with their own option

Totally disable Memberlist

The admin has the option to turn the memberlist on/off so no one can see it but the admin.

As I said before, this is not a solid base of the features but it gives you an idea as to how much will be in it.  We will take suggestiosn for more features in the feedback board.

Thank You

[Benn]

Is THAT all?!!  

[Joshua]

believe it or not, it is most likely NOT all of the features.

[Waldemar]

Benn, he never mentioned the member map, but that came between conversations with david, I think he talked too much

If you want the best board available, you have to pay for this boards...

Oh and don't worry, we are testers....eventually we are going to be able to test this pieces of art...

[CSL]

of course that ain't all, those are just the major ones. Now i wonder if i can add smilies yet.  

[Joshua]

nope, that is a paid feature

[CSL]

damn im not old enough for a credit card, as i just got my first job, guess im screwed.

[Joshua]

Your parents also checks and money orders will be accepted when we start paid hosting.

Right now, we only accept donations

[Spirit]

I think they will get the idea now,I got it down,thanks

[BigCCampbell]

where do we turn them on or how do we add them cause they look very cool.

i'm an admin from /~thesell/ and we're on the 'premier Flagship plan' so i'm hoping we can use them, especially 'whos doing what', 'attachments' and 'Add more smilie'.

Thanks in advance.
