    Idk about exclusive paid features. Other than ad free i dont think i would pay for anything. But i get you can get more from ads after a while.

    I did have an idea but idk if it would be for in app purchases. Could there be like a "Playlist" feature where if somebody posts a soundcloud or youtube of a song you could "playlist" that post and it would save that song to a playlist in your profile? Like we could just have a PL button at the bottom and we PL a post to add that to our personal playlist. Idk if it's possible to extract the embed code from a comment just by clicking a button but itd be cool.
    Sometimes people post songs that i want to check out but cant at that moment and end up forgetting about it or being unable to find the post again later. :idk:

    SxN80 merch could be done easily. Preferably by a third party that just needs a logo and can apply it to shirts, hoodies, etc at the user's discretion. For instance, I wouldn't buy a shirt or anything, but I'd buy a coffee mug with the logo slapped on it.

    As for virtual perks, all we really have to offer is the Plus section. Bold usernames, bigger avies, etc aren't really a factor anymore. We have the leak mod, but I don't think putting it behind a paywall would benefit us in the long run.

    Monetizing is a tricky thing. Most freemium apps these days just strip away basic components and put a price on them, but this website isn't a Candy Crush game where you're preying on a soccer mom who can't pass a level. Putting basic features behind a paywall would be wack and probably not very successful.

    Basically, I think we'd need a completely new feature, but I don't know what it would be.

    tbh I wouldn't do this. plus section access should only be for plus members. maybe make a separate section? idk. it's not my site so it doesn't matter lol

    Gotta get give the app like a time limit for the day, like you can only browse 30 minutes a day, or post 5 times a day or something like that. Then you get something like this that pops up

    [​IMG]

    so you can charge .99 cents to keep browsing or posting.

    But for real, no need for in-app purchases on a message board other than an ad-free to remove the one ad. Other than that, it's useless. Just go with donations.

    So if the app is more functional and smoother than the mobile browser version, why would people go back to the browser version because they can't purchase "forum add-ons"?

    I'm sure a lot of people would agree it won't be worth it. Why buy a pass to let me continue to browse the forum when I could just go back to the mobile version while the candy crush-like timer runs out
