Do you have a Premium Members usergroup? If so, how does someone get this membership? If not, why not?
I used to have a forum, and I did have a premium member group. This was a paid membership group, with several benefits that made it worth the cost. I had a promotion forum so often times it was ads and other advertisement related incentives. There were a few members that achieved this membership without paying, and those were mostly staff members that had decided to step down but had helped the forum a huge amount.

Hi darthmaul We do have a PF Supporter group which you can see here > promoforum.net/members?group=10&view=group Access to this group is given to those who help with the upkeep of PromoForum and its premium features eg: Custom Domain, Ad Free by way of donations. Thanks Dave |

Don't have anything like that. I choose to make groups based on what the forum needs.
I just made "Honorary Member", because of a death of a staff member.

Yeah, I don't have a need for premium members on my forum. I'd see a benefit to it if the forum software wasn't free and it would cost money out of my own pocket to maintain the place, but since Proboards is free and I don't pay for the ad-free feature, I don't see how it's justified to ask members to pay for a premium membership.
I do see the benefit though, as long as the money being paid goes back into the forum itself, either by keeping up with maintenance or domain fees or even giving back to the members via contest prizes.

It's not really a premium group, it's just a group that has a bold username that they can purchase in the shop. Does that count?

I think darthmaul was asking if the forum you ran (such as mine) had a Premium Members group - not if this particular forum had one. |
