Bad Idea, I mean terrible idea.

Vgchartz has already made a killing on "ioi: The Game" and "Brett: The Game". I bought 3 copies!! Why should we all have to suffer because they spent the money on expensive scotch, cheap hookers, cheap scotch, expensive hookers, and the Zune? Charge a $5 fee, and we'll NEVER beat the high score!!

Not to post - no. But maybe a Premium service where premium members have to have a certain post count - no bannings - and pay $5 and get access to some premium member only forums and fancy name colour and maybe some special insider information.

Id pay. But i dont want too

No, absolutely not.

Although an option to pay for something premium would be fine, especially when the money goes to the better of Brett and VGChartz.

Didn't SomethingAwful do this for a while?

Thats what I was referencing earlier (It was 10 bucks there per account LOL)

Well, we already have that (sort of).

The idea still sucks; the sales figures and forums are the two big things that make this site special. Restricting access to either would lose the big advantages and therefore reduce new and current users.

not a good idea.

this would shrink the community to a pitiful number. it would drive away any potential newcomers.

if it's to remove ads, then there needs to be more annoying ads... which i'm not in favour of.

donate button or reminders to click ads or certain # of ads need to be clicked to post for a month.
