Feature Requests : Lifetime membership after ten years service

[djross]

A website such as Criticker derives a fair portion of its value (in all senses of the word) from the contributions and participation of its members. Such contributions are of course not limited to ranking movies but include writing reviews, creating collections, maintaining collections, participating in forum discussion, pointing out bugs, suggesting improvements, encouraging others to join, and so on. Criticker seems to work very well in this regard, largely because of the open and friendly atmosphere fostered by the website creators, and I think one more measure that would encourage long-term participation would be some kind of incentive to stay active. There are any number of ways this could be done, but my suggestion would be that after ten years of participation in the website, a user becomes a lifetime member, with free access to the otherwise 'pay only' features. Ten years is a long time (still four years away for me), and I feel this kind of reward would not be unreasonably large given the benefit to Criticker of having users willing to stick around that long. Just a thought.

I would suggest give ShogunRa pay only features for free for every month he manages to pick a fight with a few random members and there you go! Active forum!

Lifetime membership is nice and all but I wouldn't think that people would force themselves to stick around for something like that. If they dont enjoy it here anymore, they would go anyway, pay only features wouldnt keep them here.

If they enjoy being in here, they will figure out a way to entertain themselves even if they dont have access to pay only features. They may discuss weight/height or ass/breast ratios or smth when they are out of ideas.

But you may be right too.. I am just gabbling.. Bored at work.

This would be great, if nothing else because in 4 years I might finally be able to access the pay only features again.

I know this isn't the right topic, but any update on the "include some other payment options than PayPal" suggestion I made a while back..?
