New usergroup?

[Carlito-san]

Can somebody shed some light on that?"community supporter"?(no offence to whoever it is)

[Spectrum]

That's just a usergroup for people who have generously donated to PC. Steve's idea, I think...

[Koroku]

Erm, what powers do they get?

And doesn't italic imply access to admincp?


Edit: The Color/Italic makes them seem like they are staff, and that isn't such a good idea. I think a rank would be plenty... >_>

[Pachy]

yeah! what powers DO they get?

[Arekkusu Rizu]

Yes it is for those who have contributed, I don't know much but it they have no power from what I know they only have a username in italics I think. And no I doubt they can access adminship, but if you notice they are regular font not bold.

[tmbjr]

they have no powers..they just donated to PC is all...

[Carlito-san]

I'll wait for a admin,and then this can be closed.

[mvtm]

Theres just one person there , and i aint sure if its gonna work out,since without person theres no usergroup , quite an interesting question.

[Pachy]

Yes, lets have this closed please!

[Arekkusu Rizu]

As tmbjr said if they had admin powers it would be bold. Its only a username color. Nothing bad.

[Carlito-san]

I didnt get my answer yet.*sigh*

[Bleach and Sunshine]

They only get their name in green like GenoMew.

[Koroku]

No reason to close this. >>

But I still say color is a big thing... especially with staff all being colored and stuff. :/

[Pachy]

yes thats cool
now, can we have this closed?

[Bleach and Sunshine]

You do got a point there.

[Carlito-san]

Wow.JK agrees with me.Dun dun dun!

[Rukario]

it's just PC's thank you for donating.. they have no powers or anything else special besides the color of their username and a seperate usergroup - EVERYTHING else is the same as a normal member.. (no t-dome either)

[Koroku]

Haha, yes I agree.


I just say that because we have a lot of staff, and now colors, and it'll confuse members. And "Community Supporter" also gives a feeling that they offer "support" like staff does.

I think italic/rank with "Community Donator" would be nice. ^^

[Bleach and Sunshine]

Okay I think we get it now.

[Arcanine]

The Community Supporter members are members that donated money to PC (the sever cost and stuff).
They have no powers around PC, they are just like any other member around PC. They are not Staff members, it's just a colored user name.
And italic user names dosen't always mean you can get into the Admin CP (Brittany has a bold and italic user name but she is just a Mod).

[Koroku]

/me pokes my previous post and asks people to read it.

I'm just saying it gets confusing with all the colors and stuff, plus they're on the "Forum Leaders" page :/

[Bleach and Sunshine]

Is GenoMew the first person to donate to PC ever.

[Brittany]

And italic user names dosen't always mean you can get into the Admin CP (Brittany has a bold and italic user name but she is just a Mod).
Or so you think! Dun dun dun!


Anywho, is this thread ready to be closed, or do you peoples have anymore questions?

[Koroku]

I think it's the first recognized one.

There may have been others in the past that spoke to Steve directly.

...*considers donating* Is there a required amount to get the new usergroup?

[Brittany]

Don't think so. Then again, I don't think he would take a donation as a joke though(Example- a penny just to get the title) XD

[Bleach and Sunshine]

I have been thinking of it but when it said Paypal i did not have it.I will soon.

[Koroku]

Fair enough.

Steve might recieve $10. :P

*hopes peoples read my posts* ;_;

[Rukario]

the idea of the italics and special color (notice it's green - green for money) is to attract attention and hopefully get others to donate.. and as a way to show that that user has donated..
we also have a list of who donated what in the donation announcement thread.

[Bleach and Sunshine]

Oh I get why it is Green now.

[Brittany]

But what about mods that donate. Do they get the color change AND an italic title? If so, then all the mods will end up looking like FG. =\

[Bleach and Sunshine]

Actuaully what about all staff members who donate.

[Spectrum]

Really? I thought green was just a pretty colour for them to have. o.O But still, it's GREEN! *donates for green-ness* xD

[Brittany]

Actuaully what about all staff members who donate.
Funny, I coulda swore I just said that.

[Rukario]

I have been thinking of it but when it said Paypal i did not have it.I will soon.
we just use paypal to process it, you DON'T have to sign up.. if you PM me, other arragements can be made.. i.e. mail, direct credit card, etc.

[Bleach and Sunshine]

I will do it soon.

[Rukario]

Actuaully what about all staff members who donate.
they only get the donation usergroup as a secondary usergroup.. they'll then have a choice to use it's username display or the primary usergroup one.

[Bleach and Sunshine]

Okay I guess that answers Brittany's question.

[mvtm]

:O this will sell as Lance Armstrong Yellow Braceletes.

No i wont donate even for a rainbow username , i dont have money , and i have priorities in my life , but i can donate my time to the boards. XD that its suposed to be more valuable than monetary eanings.

[Koroku]

Yeah, but I still wonder if it'll cause more confusion than anything...

Plus we already have a green usergroup *points to Vice Pres*

[Rukario]

vp may be green but it's not italic..

[Koroku]

<< Eh, I don't like the color idea. I think it'll just get people thinking it's a easy way to staff-dom.

*shrugs and wonders if I should donate now*


Nifty PC name... or FMA stuff... PC name... FMA stuff..... hmmm........

[Rukario]

*pokes JK into PC Stuff.. *

hehe *hipnotizes* You MUST support your fav PokeForum....

[EVA-01]

how much do you need to donate? 20cents? 1dollar?

[Brittany]

hehe *hipnotizes* You MUST support your fav PokeForum....
Oh, you mean... :X
Just kidding everyone, you know that PC is my favorite Pokeforum.
<.<
>.>

[Rukario]

there is no limit and it's not a contest.. donate whatever you feel you can afford.

[Kairi]

If possible, (and it might be, I’ve worked my way spending money online before) I’d just do it, to do it. I like my admin colors, but I like the idea of supporting them.

That said, I like Greg’s idea for a rank/italic name, and the rank being donator instead. Up to Steve though, just thought I’d add~

[Cool Cr@cker]

Hmm...That's Great Steve, this'll surely encourage more members to Donate..

[Arekkusu Rizu]

*wonders* I can help out the forum, but would $10,000 dollars due it? kidding :D I can help out with at least 100 dollars. Ill see what I can do when i get back.

[Rukario]

Sounds great!! (it'll help with us getting an owned vB license :) ) Thanks!

[Arekkusu Rizu]

Well I will have to wait though since I don’t get paid until after our first release and until then I can only use Sony’s money. But I think I will since I like PC and all.

[Pogiforce-14]

My opinion probably won't be appreciated,but i'm not liking the soudn of this. It's liek your buying your user group. Almost like a bribe. People should just donate to donate out of the good will of their hearts, not so they can get teh color of their name changed. It sounds pointless, really. A rather poor incentive.

Besides, some of us who want to donate don't have the mean nor the capital to do it, so the color change incentive (if you really want to call it that) won't change that for us.

IN all honesty, to break it down, IMO it's a bad idea.

Take that as you please.

[Ryoutarou]

It's just a little bonus for giving your money to PC, we want people to know they are apperciated for giving to PC.

[Koroku]

*wonders why I see spirals in front of my eyes*

STEVE! >(

*holds up the $10 bill* Now to get this on paypal. XD

[Skater Punk]

Hi!IS THIS FOR NEW PEOPLE?? WELL IM NEW!

[Ryoutarou]

This is only for the people that give money to PC, you'll have to donate before you get the title.

[Arekkusu Rizu]

Yeah, but people shouldn't do it for the title, they should do it for the thought pof helping PC not a title.

[Koroku]

Hi!IS THIS FOR NEW PEOPLE?? WELL IM NEW!
Please introduce yourself in the New Users/Welcome forum. =)

[Thomas-san]

I am not sure if I will donate. Sorry Steve but I cant donate to a person I dont know. I know I said I would but I just cant donate without 100% guarentee that it will be used for THAT specific purpose.

[Koroku]

What else would Steve use it for?

And it's guarenteed to be going to PC. It would be illegal if it weren't. :-/

[Spectrum]

I'd gladly donate if I had a way to. Nobody I know has a credit card other than my aunty, and she doesn't give her details out over the net. Also, mum wouldn't let me send anything overseas... =/

[Happy Dude]

pc rocks.i wish i could donate money.but im too young and i dont have a paypal account.

[Koroku]

I feel special. I donated.

I still support the usergroup loosing it's green-ness though. <_<

[3 REGIS]

My mom and dad have a paypal...I wonder if they'll let me...What am I thinking?! We have no money!XD :(

[Koroku]

Aye, but for reasons I've posted earlier, I think it should be changed. ^^

*wants a rank* ;_;

[Spectrum]

I mean, mum wouldn't let me snail mail any money overseas... Nobody has grey, maybe the usergroup colour should be grey? o.O

[Koroku]

No, a rank would do this:

Username
Custom Title
Community Supporter
Location
I think that's the best way to do it. ^^

[Koroku]

LOL, I think color more demonstrates power than a rank.

And the term "rank" is just what the little title is labelled in the AdminCP.


Edit: Eh, arguing is fun. I think. o_O

[Koroku]

LOL, it doens't make me upset or anything. I've become known around here for challenging staff's decisions. >_>

And I'll have the same set-up in a few minutes, so why would I be complaining? :P

[Koroku]

Darn, you got me there. XD

I just think it'll be confusing. That's all. Nyah~ The online list gets more and more colorful every month. XD

[Koroku]

Leif? You lost me there. o_O

And I think a rank would be cool. But whatever. I just say my opinion.

And then get yelled at...

[Koroku]

Most of the time I get yelled at. o_O

...and I have no idea what the rest of that was about. o_____o

[Koroku]

I would and all, but we'll have to wait for Britt now-a-days. :-/


...I still personally think the color should be taken away. *runs from Steve*

[Kairi]

Don’t see much of a reason for it to be closed. Especially when the non-mods look at it and see you talking to yourself. XP I agree with you still, on the color thing! *ponders brining it up*

[Geometric-sama]

o_O I have no idea what's been going on here. *wishes you had given me Q&F when I wanted it XD :P*

[Arekkusu Rizu]

JK double posting.. triuple posting and more? O.o? How that happened?
Well he got what he wanted ^^ Anyways Steve I have a question, what did you mean by 'owned board' PC has a leased one?

[Claire]

Yeah, PC leases.
JK only looks like he's multiple-posting because genomew deleted all his posts.

Yeah, i like the sound of the blue but italic name and the title "Donater" in preference to the green italic name. Even mods just get a blue bold name, and i don't think donators should stand-out even more-so than mods.

[Cool Cr@cker]

The UserRank is Gone now~~And Like Alex said most people will donate only for the name..

[Rukario]

so what if they do.. a donation is a donation no matter the underlaying reasons... PC thanks 'em all.

[Bobby]

I didn't donate for the name and color,in fact if you're that low to think that i want my name to be changed back.

[Ryoutarou]

No no, no one actually said that ^^ Some people just think there might be problems with some people thinking the color gives them "power".

[Koroku]

~_~ I look like I did many many posts. o_O;;


...but yeah, I still vouch for the removal of the color. Eeeh...

[Bobby]

shoot lol,im far away from my atribute now lol.Green is in no way dark lol.But i guess it's pretty cool lol.

[Ryoutarou]

I just think maybe a color that wouldn't stand out so much^^;

[Koroku]

*still thinks color should be only staff*

I want a rank instead of a color. =P

[Bobby]

I vote for black color lol.Im ok with whatever happends to the color,i didn't even know we got color for donating lol.

[Geometric-sama]

Well, if the people who donated are saying themselves that they don't want colour, why not just lose it?

[Kylie-chan]

Lol. Well hmmm why don't you drop the colour thing? Personally I think it looks unattractive. XD

[Claire]

Yeah, i'd still say no colour -just italics and a usertitle saying "Donator" -makes me feel bad for all the mods who don't even have a colour change ^^;

[Cool Cr@cker]

Maybe They can Have their User name in Same Color as us but Italic & Their User Rank is Bolded..
And I did not say that to hurt anybody.I'm sorry if i did.

[Haruki Hanai]

Not really, since Bold+Italic was meant to signify administrator position.

[Cool Cr@cker]

No I meant Their Username is Italic and Same Color and Thier Rank
"Community Donator" is Bold.What'dya say.

[Koroku]

How about this?

*will do my own set-up to show*

JKaizer
ph34r t3h gr33n
Community Donator
Location: Somewhere still wondering if they're the one...
Male ♂

I think that works nicely. ^^

[Spectrum]

That's what they were suggesting, Greg. =P But that would look pretty nice. ^^

[Rukario]

it is as it is... and i like community supporter

[Koroku]

*shrugs* I don't.

Really, shouldn't it be up to the ones that have the group? O_o

[Rukario]

y? we run this site.. not you.. and whats wrong with how it is now?

[Pachy]

yeah dont give steve such a hard time, it's perfect just the way it is!
green for money and italicized to get attention to the fact that a member has donated to PC

[Rukario]

yeah dont give steve such a hard time, it's perfect just the way it is!
green for money and italicized to get attention to the fact that a member has donated to PC
exactly what he said!! we do have reasons for what we do you know.

[Claire]

It's not that i dont like the idea of donators -it's really great ^^
but i think that italic usernames are enough..the mods work really hard but just get a bold name, so it seems a bit unfair for donators to get coloured ^^;

[Rukario]

the point of the coloring is twofold: a) to reconize their donation. b) to provide incentive for others to donate (wow, we get a cool, colored username!)

the idea is to seperate them from lets say mods who are bolded

[Pogiforce-14]

It's just a little bonus for giving your money to PC, we want people to know they are apperciated for giving to PC.

Then just tell them thank you or have a page of people who donated, for crying out loud. You don't need to go make a whole user group for those people. :\

[Brittany]

They're not treated any differently than normal members. They aren't listed on the page for staff, and they don't have a title.

It's like an easter egg, everyone will find them, but nobody cares :P

[Koroku]

*shrugs* Whatever.

Britt, why don't you just close this? Steve doesn't seem to want to listen. :/

Oh, and Claire, mods have a blue name. :)

[Brittany]

*shrugs* Whatever.

Britt, why don't you just close this? Steve doesn't seem to want to listen. :/

Oh, and Claire, mods have a blue name. :)
Agreed. If you really want to argue, take it down with the big man himself. No use in spamming up a thread anyway :P
*closes up*
