I would like to make a suggestion for an addition to the site. Now I'm not sure how allot of people may feel about this, but because of my love for AC, I would like to suggest a Pd. membership. Now before anyone goes flaming me, let me explain.
I belong/belonged to several other forums for numerous different reasons. One thing on a few sites that I enjoy, is having a "closed" area for those that support the forum. Basically, this is how it breaks down:
$5/mo, $25 for 6 months, ect..ect. You set it up how you think will work best. This donation, if you will, gives the donator a custom icon under thier name to show they are a supporter. Also, it gives them access to a locked forum that only donators have access to. This could be used for a lounge, trusted sellers, pretty much anything really. Another thing that I have seen is special promotions. This could be a promotion code for an extra 5% off, giveaways, a discount program, 1 site I belong to picks a name at random once a month and sends the winner a T-shirt, bumper sticker....something site related to show off. In return, we are showing our loyalty and support by helping to offset AC's costs of server maint., upgrades, fee's ect.
I know that Android is built on the idea of open source and free information, That is not what this is about. It's a way for us to show our love, respect and support for the best Android forum on the net. I think that us that are die hards and that really want to see AC to continue, will surely agree and want to help out in any way possible. I could be off base though and if I am, I apologize in advance. This is just a simple thought I had and surely something that I personally would gladly do. Lord knows how much work Const and the rest of the team put into this site and forum. I for one would like to show my apreciation and help in any way that I can.
Thanks Android Community for being so great to us.
