Support Apolyton

[Rasbelin]

Yes, that was the point with my scenario too. ACS would remain free, while some additional features like no advertising would be available for subscription members. Donators could get a small badge. And subcribed members the usual subscription stuff. These additional things could include ACS webmail e-mail with addresses @apolyton.com, so that they can't be mixed with official addresses and it's easier to do technically. That would of course be done with HiveMail. Of course I do have some other ideas too, but those are ones I have developed for my own use.

Spikey,

happy now when I'm not "so grouchy"?

I'm sure you are capable of a contribution, but your 'style' is counterproductive. No one is ever going to pay attention to someone who bashes 'Poly and whinges.

If you want people to discuss any ideas try presenting them clearly and non-grouchily, like the last post.

I just pre-ordered Championship Manager 03/04 following the Poly Amazon UK link

Stop whinging. It has already been said several times that any subscription model considered will not be compulsory, and the main services will remain free to all.

Is off-topic a main service? That's the most important part of the site.

IIRC it was said that no access to forums would be blocked at all.

[Rasbelin]

Indeed. And no contents related to Civ (news sections, downloads, The Column, ACSR, etc) would be off limits. So it's all about extra stuff and reduced or non existant ads.

indeed

we're just going to charge 1 drachma per post(actually, that's very low. better to do it 1 $CA cent or 1 € cent)

[MarkG]

or 1 banana per post

[DrSpike]

Well I'd better get a few more in now before you start charging for them.

To support Poly, I just ordered my Christmas presents from Amazon.co.uk using the referal code of ACS. Merry Christmas to Markos and Dan! Abit early, indeed, but that will be my little present for you. Should be a few £ to your pocket for my order.
