we'll do it, but we'll name it "Apolyton Plus: Ego Pack"

we've fought DL's for a really long time now. we're not going to sell out now

Well, I hope everything works out for you Markos, with this new scheme.

Just let me know when you want the money, and how it would be best to send it off.

I spend enough time here, so it is only fair to compensate you folks for your hard work.

Is that even possible, having it count for some people but not for others?

Maybe if you we're to pay the subscription charge for two accounts, they'd let you do it

They could set up a different count perhaps.

If you pay for one account, you surely should be allowed a DL.

No, no, no. I don't see many ads right now, I can live with it. In fact the ads on Apolyton got so obnoxious that I had them disabled.

I can actually see one ad as I write this response: it flashes lairy colours while asking "Are you stupid?". It feels like this thread.

Markos and company can hack it.

What about selling OT post counts at $0.1 each? Pay $1000 to become an instant deity

Why? If you pay for one add free account, why should you be given two? DLs are forbidden for a reason (have a look at CG and you'll see - nothing against CG, just that's what happens when DLs are allowed).

Well its like tins of tuna. I have a free one, I like it, I buy more. Apolyton would profit, it would make more money were you allowed to buy more log-ins.

Just a suggestion, its a question of whether the consequences on the forum (which you say are bad and I have no reason to doubt that) outweigh the money.

Never thought I'd see that.

I had some good ideas in the last thread about subscriptions, but I can't find that thread now.

Then I'll boycott.

EvC raises a valid issue. If someone has paid for a service and he gets banned then wouldn't MarkG be honor bound to at least refund the remained of the service fee in a timely manner?

I suppose he could claim breach of contract but I suspect that would open up a legal can of worms which would best be left untouched.

what about your tactics and our bandwidth?
using ad-blockers means that you use our site resources(cpu, bandwidth, hard disk) without generating any income towards paying for these resources
explain to me how this is right

Technically this is incorrect since both banner ads and redirect ads would still be viewed. Or are you claiming such ads do not generate any money for the site?
