OG? No? ok.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); In this thread, I am specifically talking about console gaming/hacking and glitching, *NB*, if you can't be bothered to read this skip to the bottom to see a summary.

Well recently it has occurred to me that we haven't been using the Premium Forums properly, I've been seeing premium material in the normal forums and I think it's disgusting how we pay $10 and the members who are non-premium essentially get the same new and threads as us premiums.

People join this website in hope of finding the best glitches, hacks and exploits, we want these people to join the community and stay with us instead of leaving after a few weeks. I'm talking about how the new members sign up and find the information that they're after and then a week later they're gone. To get members sticking and staying with the forums we need to show them that the premium forums are all of what they are, and to do this we need to get the premium section back off the floor. We've got to encourage the members to sign up for premium and to tell any friends that it's worth the money.

The site could benefit hugely from the money raised by the amount of new members. I'm talking about the layout, the speed of how the whole website runs. I'm sure you lot, like me want this website to explode with activity but the only way we're going to do this is by getting members who stay and contribute wisely.

Summary


  • Encourage friends to become premium members, tell them about the special features.




  • Lets try and get the Premium Forums back to what they once were. This means if you have found new glitches or exploits post them there! If you have found anything exciting post it there! This does not mean post theory threads, lets just get the good stuff in the premium forums. This will encourage members to sign up for premium benefiting everyone including the site.

I'm sorry if you didn't find this appropriate or if you think that there aren't any problems currently, i'm just annoyed by the way that there are valuble and exciting stuff floating around in the normal forums when it should be in premium.

Many thanks,

~Jamesyy

If everybody did what you suggest and posted things in the premium section, the non-premium glitches/hacks sections would become wastelands. This would discourage new members from sticking around, as they wouldn't really see anything enticing that would make them want to stay.

Also, who says that new and hard to find glitches and hacks should be for premium members only? Surely it is the finder's decision as to wether they want their find to be exclusive.

Finally, some glitches and tricks are not found by premiums. A good example of this would be the new elevator type glitch a new user found and posted. You can't expect great glitches such as that to be posted in the premium sections when the person who found it isn't even premium.

What's the point of having premium forums if you don't use them properly? I'm just trying to make them of good use. People who post hacks in non-premium sections make ripping off tutorials easier as well as as patches being more of a certainty.

You only say that because your a non-premium, also we don't do that "nigga" shit on this forum, i'm pretty sure you can't see him so you don't know what he is.

You've just found out how to easily and quickly do the 15th prestige glitch with 100,000,000 cod points on PS3. You are going to post a tutorial. Do you....

A. Post in the premium section, and get +1,000 rep
B. Post in the non-premium, get +5,000 rep plus an additional +100 for wining TOTW.

Most people post Tutorials for rep and fame.
If you spend the time some people do on glitch/hacks, you want something for it.

I have suggested before that they double the v-bux amounts for threads in prem, raise it to 1100 for posts and double the thanks value, with a limit on thanks to the same person.
They need to find a way to reward activity in the prem sections, if they want to promote it's use.

Just my thoughts on it...

If people just want glory by releasing in non premium then so be it, but those who don't release new things to the general public straight away will probably be more respected by premiums here.
