    for people wondering

    only 5 people earned plus so far without getting plussed in other ways

    5 people gonna hit it soon

    i dont want this trend to continue tbh...so most likely will raise up the roof

    i might remove "supporter" tag and give points for donations tho....to help ppl hit plus

    Is giving a chance of buying your way to plus a really good idea?


    or maybe I'm just scared of losing that supporter tag :hov:

    lol I feel you.

    @Koolo if you plan on doing the "pay to plus" idea, keep me posted. I'd very interested to see where you set the required amount at.

    Why are you basing everything off threads though? We saw what happened with the '500 posts in 24 hours' thing, do we really want to see threads like that on the regular? I understand encouraging new content but seems like quality will take a major hit..I also think this will discourage a lot of new members from being active when they see how impossible it is.

    Anyways, I've officially given up on plus, don't care about the music exclusives but just wanted to read through the section once..Oh well.

    I assume if you do this, previous donations will be factored in?
    How close are you to Plus? I don't think you should give up. Just my opinion though.

    @Koolo if you think there's spam now.... making it 200 threads will bring a ton of threads with no replies imo. It's hard enough thinking about ideas for 100 but 200 is crazy. It's just way too much. Don't you think raising the posts and likes you need would be better? I mean even making it 5000 posts and 5000 likes would be better than 200 threads imo. that's just asking for a lot of bad threads and spam to be posted. If you go with posts and likes, I don't think you'd be sacrificing as much quality. Or the donation idea. Or, maybe come up with something new and create some new trophies?

    posts/likes points remains untouched tho ...you can still get in just based on them

    unless you mean i should remove the power to enter all together by making threads? then this will mean i should make it 300 threads since its hard as f---

    also Kon, your probably gonna be among the 2-3 people to enter before this is raised

    thats the entire point, i never wanted people to become plus in a month...i want people to work at it...100 threads being spammed in a week isnt the intention ... and we can fix it by basically removing the spammer ability to make threads (aka final)

    Well s--- man I appreciate it but I don't wanna be the one holding everything up if this is your plan lol.

    But I don't know, I mean I think 200 threads is kinda crazy. I'm not sure I made 200 threads my whole time on SL. Plus there's great posters (even Worm for example) who rarely make threads. As far as I know the only other way to get it would be 10k likes and 10k posts which would probably be about 2 years at least for most people. Not trying to argue or whatever, just putting some things into perspective.

    2000 posts + 2000 likes is working for it man. if someone were to get it from posts and likes they'd need 10,000 and that's just as excessive as the 200/300 threads imo. What if you raised them all up instead of doubling the most difficult one? I just feel members will get discouraged from this and give up. It's already daunting getting the trophies you need for plus currently but increasing the threads you need by that much is overkill imo. I understand the need to buff plus though as too many people are plus or approaching it. I just think this is the wrong way to buff it.

    If creating new trophies is possible, I think that would be a good idea. or just make it so you need more posts, more likes and more threads. Or just up the posts and likes and not the threads as 100 is already a lot.
