Will fuck off, again.
Cool since you guys are making drastic changes can you upgrade vbulletin?
There's soo many cool features on other forums that would be nice to have. Like when u put the cursor over a thread you can see the first sentence or live feed on threads. There's cool search options like when you make a new thread it will automatically show you ever thread started with the same topic so no reposts etc etc.
This version is fine in my opinion. That function beats up bandwidth pretty hardcore on a forum this big.Originally posted by banned3x

Cool idea.
Bandwidths cheap
Eh, I don't think this is a good idea. It will stop new trolls from joining, but it will stop potentially decent users too. Random new people have kept the forum interesting over the years.
That said, I don't have any other suggestions for dealing with the expendable account issue.
I can't imagine sponsors liking this idea too much, after all they pay money to get as much exposure as they can, cutting off new users is cutting off new customers for them. Sure from a user stand point it's good, but everything comes down to money.

I don't think Rage2 needs the money bud. I guess a newbie like you doesn't know that yet.Originally posted by cde1966

Plus none members will still be able to browse the forums they just can't contribute anymore.

I like this plan.
If the Rage and the moderators ever feel they aren't getting enough new users, they can have open registration weeks, just the Demonoid does.
I also vote that your user account gets deleted after a year of inactivity. There are people who joined, posted one thing, then never came back.

But then we can't artificially inflate the number of registered users.Originally posted by ExtraSlow

It would also mean all their posts would disappear, so we'd lose a -ton- of content from older users.
damn im at 90%

This is a wicked idea.
Some people are funny. They spend money they don't have, to buy things they don't need, to impress people they don't like.

He doesn't mean money for Rage, he means the money we'll potentially lose from lost customers.
Wasn't there a way of filtering out bots by making the registration process having one of those changing verification letter boxes?

All the vendors are still going to get exposure to people browsing the forums. They'll just have to contact you by phone or whatever as they won't be able to sign up.

Ya it's not really a problem, as long as the admin don't combine this invite only system along with the "log in to see pictures" junk that's on so many other forums!
I didn't mind the bots or idiots rejoining, keeps things entertaining, but whatever the beyond gods decide I will support
