Hi All,
We will be shortly adding some new [b]Extra[/b] features to the site which will only be available under the Extra membership option. This will include:
- Photo Tools
- Online Notifier
- Profile Genie
- Photo Links
- Unlimited MMS Photo Credits
- Highlighted Profiles
- Larger Photo Capacity
- Larger Video Capacity
- Site Diary
- Urgent Technical Support
We are not going to take any thing away from what is already available, the above features will come as an [b]optional upgrade[/b] that we will be offering.
We will be giving every current Premium User two weeks to have a taste of the Extra facilities, we won't pressure any one into taking up the offer. The regular price of the upgrade is for 12 months and this will only be available to Premium Members.
If any one wishes to give their feedback on the ideas, please wait until you've fully tried them for for at least a day.
Thanks,
Admin Team 8)
OK - to be honest, would I pay £25 for these extras? No.
Photo Genie - Doesn't seem to offer anything much that I can't get for free from my existing photo software (image rotation, blurring, editing etc.)
"Members who may interest you" - This really is useless. All my recommendations so far seem to be unpaid members who are single males and who live outside the UK, or at best several hundred miles away. Hmmm. Much better to just chat to people in the chatroom and meet them that way.
Photo Plus - do I want 1000 photos on my profile? Even I'm not that narcissistic!
Online Notifier - vaguely useful I suppose, but nothin I'd pay extra for.
Site Diary - ditto.
Profile Genie - this I actually like. It's interesting to see who's been checking my profile, but again I wouldn't pay £25 for the privilege.
Summary:
I think the one or two fatures that are actually useful could have been added for free as part of the site upgrade - this would go some way to offsetting the very bug-ridden initial version we got of SP MK2, and the many, many site crashes we've had to tolerate in the past 12 months.
well said sudsy m8y,we think you have said exactly what we think,we would not pay the extra,the profile genie is the best thing but if you like someone then just mail them or chat in the room its worked fine up till now lol,and yes a few add ons for free to the members that were inconvenienced during the upgrade would be a good gesture of good will,take care you sexy peeps,mwah the bays xxxxxxxx
Ditto Ditto Ditto i agree with everything suds said. I will NOT be paying the extra for this new service..
sorry admin x
As always, Sudsy has it spot on. We quite like the profile genie but otherwise the other additions aren't of any interest and we certainly won't be paying £25 for them - we vote Sudsy for President! lol
Teecee, very well put. I agree with you, it is not worth the extra £25. i also agree that Premium users should get these as part of the account at no extra cost. i appreciate that it is a business, but the cost does not justify it self for what is very little use able information.
Completely agree wit the sentiments above. Only the profile genie is interesting but absolutely not worth the money.
This set of features at extra cost is available on other (larger) sites (common set of templates?) and it doesn't interest us on there either.
I agree with what has been said and offer suggestions for other options. I will start a thread asking what membere want and don't want. I can offer some ideas from the Oz site we were members of and I'msure people here can offer ideas for improvement from sites they have seen.
