All the ideas are really great

LeeAnn's idea I think was key to this being successful. We would have to look at an entire years time rather then just try to get by month by month.
$70 x 12 = $840 for the year.

I think t-shirts and stickers are a great idea. Stickers are $6 or $7 a pair now why not make them $10? T-shirt price varies, but I'm assuming the designs you guys have are one color front and back so they should be about <$10 each per shirt for a minimum order. I do custom clothing orders often so usually am pretty up on the prices. If you guys need any help getting them done let me know I'd be happy to help.

Also membership fees would then ensure the sustainment of the community to a certain extent. And yes, to make 6ga different then the other accord forums we would have to make something special about "membership privileges" I think further then just allowing colored names or such. Access to certain thread folders filled with DIY's or Classifieds and especially the shoutbox! Things that eventually you'd think "It'd be worth the $20 membership fee."

Perhaps a week trial of the shoutbox or something... but I think a "trial tease" would only work with the shoutbox lest we leave ourself victim to lurkers signing up a dif account every week. UNLESS the server enables us to track the IP address and restrict multiple accounts on one IP... nonetheless thats down the road.

I'm willing to donate and pay membership fee as long as its not anything rediculous.

Lets do this!

membership would be good..but if you remove lots of perks we have now to just a full member i think the amount of members on the site would lower drastically..because many people on this site wouldn't want to pay for the amount of access they have already...but not paying would mean they couldn't do lots of the things they can now..

i would think member would only mean like their own forum section, shoutbox, higher pm storage, maybe have every paid member with a certain color name, and some other small things

$1.50 each for a minimum of 500.
sell them for 5 bucks each.

I would buy one, but I think 500 is too many. We need to find a place where we can buy like 150 or 200. I think that would be better a better quantity. If we ever need more, these companies save your designs so it would be nothing to order more if need be.

I agree... there is definitely no shortage of them around that can do smaller 150-250 orders online... (google ftw :rock:)

Here's my .02
Free Membership should have:
-limited pm storage ~50-100
-no photo hosting
-some other things I can't think of

paid membership
-larger pm storage
-photo hosting
-colored name
-custom title
-some other things I can't think of

stuff like avatars, I think everybody should have until the usage grows too big then start limiting avatar usage

post limits, could be done by changing the minimum post time from around 10 sec to like 20-30

shoutbox usage is something i think should be earned by not just donation but post count and/or donation

you know the AIM chatrooms aren't a bad option...its free...i usualy used the shoutbox in a separate window anyway...and im on AIM when i surf here also...

not saying i wouldn't pay to join this site...but if it's expensive i really might not...seems like 5-6 people really pushing cody to spend his own money with only promises to pitch in....but what happens 3-4 months down the road....or even years...there are tons of folks that come on here and are active...then just are gone...im just afraid it may be too much trouble to get the shoutbox back when what we have now is still great...and AIM is free and isn't any harder to use....
