so it's worked out @xxMATTGxx; @Jin;

stop pissing off your users and putting off newcomers
start selling vip at 1.5/2x the price of donation
keep donation at its current price
start giving vip+ out as a competition prize etc
profit

From what I can gather no.



Only if it was possible to bring back the main feature.

The main feature of VIP+ was so that they could switch colours regardless and do it themselves. Anything else was pretty much the same as normal VIP.

I'm sure there was other features, what made it possible in the past, if it comes to it leave it as a manual thing and they have to post in a thread to allow them to do it?

VIP
VIP+

Why can't VIP(+) be given as competition prize?

[Lee]

VIP+ can't be done. Well, the main feature anyway.

If it was done on vbulletin 3 in like 2006 why cant you do it now... And better...

1. It's out of my hands. Tom can back me up on that as we have both expressed our concerns on the matter.

2. Sure but the redirection would still be in place.

vip+ was 2008 but yeah.

Because it was vBulletin 3. Not all the plugins were moved over to 4. Like I said, if anyone can find me a way - We'll do it.

@xxMATTGxx; isn't it just a public (joinable) usergroup? there'd have to be a usergroup for every colour which they'd need to be a part of, then they can change which shows as primary in UCP. not sure how it would work with subscriptions and expiry dates though

Anyone is then able to join that group. Unless it was done by requests and manually done which some what defeats the purpose as you can technically do that already with current VIP if you have multiple subscriptions.

why, do you not see the fact you're going to drop activity and lose newcomers based on this?

Simple:

Donator:
- Stay same as it currently is
VIP:
- current benefits
- ability to disable adverts
- for sale at a price of 1.5x/2x donator price
VIP+:
- current VIP benefits
- ability to disable adverts
- ability to post in a VIP+ thread requesting a colour change
- larger display picture, avatar and larger inbox space
- a @habboxforum.com email account
- for sale at 2x the vip price (if required), given to competition winners

This.

I believe they did it in some other way (or so Matt said )
