PLUS per post option

[Kuciwalker]

(and 65 of them have never posted outside the OT! )

Wow, I've made that many this year?

[Atahualpa]

How large is the number of very frequent posters? (at least once a day)

[Kuciwalker]

Less than 1000, IIRC.

[Kloreep]

Sounds like a good option for those who don't post frequently.

But, as others have said, you may not reach your target audience easily, much less in here.

[Dauphin]

There are better ways to market segment.

Give me a free PLUS membership and I will tell you what they are.

[MarkG]

well give me a free sample first and we'll talk

[Kuciwalker]

Markos should have Ming think up stuff like this

[RGBVideo]

As a member who almost exclusively posts in the OTF, I think this would be an excellent idea.

EDIT: Ugh. Then I think it's a stupid idea. ;-/

[MarkG]

you missed the part about ot posts counting

[Last Conformist]

I think everyone who posts mostly in OT should get PLUS for free.

Well, I might be about as interested in this as in the other ones, depending on what the rates will be... But I don't expect to subscribe anytime soon...

I guess the rates could be somewhere in the vicinity of this:

$25 for 500 posts (= $0.05 per post)
If you have less than ~0.986 PPD, you'll be cheaper off than with a yearly subscription of $18.

$40 for 1000 posts (= $0.04 per post)
In this case, less than ~1.233 PPD would make it cheaper than a yearly subscription.

$25 for 500 posts?! It's only $18 for a YEAR, and I post way more than 500 posts a year

obviously this would interest two kinds of people:
- lurkers
- people who dont post frequently or come and go

I don't think you can expect anything cheaper than $18 a year. For the die-hard lurkers, 500 posts could last them years.

My PPD is almost exactly 1, for instance (though, realistically, it's a bit higher, since I wasn't here from the very beginning, and I mostly lurked (even more) the first few years).

I paid for PLUS w/out any need of a discount because I lurk more than I post.
I don't see the incentive. I'd be less inclined to post if it cost me more.
