Why don't you reduce the price of Donator and VIP memberships? The current prices are simple unattainable, it's almost like you're intentionally making them impossible to reach. Are you looking to keep the exclusivity of the former members who donated when BTC was almost worthless? If so, why? Back then the amount they donated was less significant, but now 50 BTC for a badge is crazy. We would love to contribute towards the running costs of the forum, but copper membership is not enough, couldn't you implement something a big more desirable (but attainable).
There are plenty of threads explaining why.This is the most recent one: Theymos should reconsider amount for "Donator" and "VIP" status.
That does not explain why. Only Theymos can answer this question, unless he has already answered it in the past.
Opinions of the community are irrelevant in this case, and constitute only poor proxies of the actual rationale.
If Theymos has addressed this in the past, please do let me know, a quick search did not turn up anything.
I think DONATOR and VIP Membership are NOW just for the old members here. And maybe that's why Copper Membership is the only 1 available now for everybody.
Well, if someone here is a billionaire I guess he can still become one of those DONATORS/VIPs.
but I don't seem to see that practical. It's now just a waste of money don't you think? And also Copper Membership as I think, are only made for newbies to get rid of some restrictions in their accounts.
