How great an incentive for donating was the VIP forum for you?

[Nihilego]

How important was the VIP forum while you were making your decision to donate? Do you feel like, if the forum had been made avaliable at a lower or higher tier, you'd have donated specifically to that tier instead of the one you're at now?

I was curious to see what the VIP forum included...it seemed interesting, but when I actually got to look around, admittedly it wasn't that great haha. Probably the biggest incentive for me donating would have been the larger avatar size and the ability to customise your profile even further.

The VIP forum made no difference for me. I wanted to get tier five mainly to support PC and to get the ability to modify profiles (maybe larger avatar too), that's all. :p

 

[Shiny Celebi]

It wasnt much of one. Admittedly I was curious but I wouldve donated anyway even without it.

 

[hinkage]

I didn't even know this existed

 

[Aquacorde]

Well it wasn't much of an incentive really. But I did hear about it when I was T2 and wanted to look in so I was like "eh w/e" and just donated up to T5 earlier than I was expecting.

....on my old account. I just realized this one's still T3 lmao.

 

[Cordelia]

Pretty much zero. I didn't even know there were extra forums. I just donated because I liked the site.

I may have heard about this place at one point, but, if I had, then by the time I had donated I had totally forgotten about its existence.

So, absolutely no incentive from this place whatsoever, lol.

 

[Honest]

I knew it existed, but the VIP forum wasn't a factor at all into my decision, cause I had forgotten about it. =P

I may not have donated myself but I once heard about a forum accessible to Tier 3 and higher Supporters, which turned out to be this.

The main reason I wanted to be a Supporter in the first place was because I wanted the bigger avatars and the fancy profile customization. Even if I was able to donate I would have done so as soon as I joined.

I was pretty interested in the VIP forum, but it wasn't that big of an effect on me. I mean at first I only donated to Tier 1, any later donations were mostly influenced by the avatar size, I love avatars yup.

 

[Alakazam17]

I think my main incentives to become a supporter were the ability to customize my profile and the knowledge that I was supporting the community. The VIP forum was just an added bonus, though nonetheless I was always curious about what went on here while I was still a regular non-supporting member. xD

I was staff before donating I can't really say it was an incentive at all, but if I hadn't been staff at the time I'm sure it would've been a big factor in the donation. I'd mainly donate for the blog (which I totally use all the time *cough*) but access to a "VIP forum" can't sound anything but enticing!

 

[Sirfetch’d]

The main incentives for me donating were helping PC and blogs. While I knew about this place it wasn't really a big incentive for me to donate.

 

[Brendino]

I was slightly curious as to what the VIP Forum could be, but in no way did it really entice me to donate. In fact, I can't say as any of the perks really caused me to donate- I just wanted to (not that I haven't taken advantage of them since donating, though).

 

[Taemin]

Naaaaaah, I donated because at the time I had enough extra money to go "TAKE MY MONEY PC", so I donated like four different times, and Steve probably thought I was crazy. 8|

 

[Serene Grace]

Pretty much zero. I didn't even know there were extra forums. I just donated because I liked the site.

Pretty much this. I donated because I wanted to support PokéCommunity, not for the extra perks at all. I would still have donated if there was no coloured username, VIP forum, etc.
