[QUOTE=zakedodead;36629680]So if golds now have the old bluesize avatars then what does the boostar money go to? [B]obviously not site upkeep.[/B][/QUOTE] um wow your dumb 50 percent goes to mods, 50 percent goes right back into hosting

Blues and gold shared the same avatar width and height size (80 x 80 px) before that one guy made garry do something with the avatars.

It should have been a punishment only for Slithersoul. That's like if one person fucked up in an office, the manager fires everyone.

I still get 502 errors sometimes, does this happen to anyone else?

And what exactly were cached avatars

cloudflare would cache avatars for a year aka you change your avatar, you wouldn't see it until a. a year had passed, or b. you cleared your cache [editline]4th July 2012[/editline] which actually resulted in a funny forum exploit [editline]4th July 2012[/editline] start reading here: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1104512&p=31703862&viewfull=1#post31703862[/url]

Awesome.

This idea may have been thought of before, but, worth a post if anything. What do you think about having threads cost money [b]or[/b] posts? For example, for $0.10/£0.05 (10 cents, 5 pence) you may (uncertain on what price would actually fit) purchase a 'thread credit' which would require payment via boostar, and for every 25 (again, uncertain on what value this should be) posts you make, a 'thread credit' is added to your account to use, you may create 1 thread per 1 'thread credit' and 'thread credit's' are moderator controlled for when such a need may be necessary. Being banned could also have an affect on 'thread credit's' earned. A reward system could also be put in place for those who do not create threads and have amassed a good amount of thread credits, such as boostar items (Gold member, title/name changes). Pros include. increased revenue for facepunch (even if by a small amount), less shit-threads, possibly a more mature community atmosphere due to post content being being attributed towards currency ('thread credits'), regular members and non-shitposters rewarded. Less work for moderators. Cons include, genuinely pleasant new members having to post/spend money to create a thread. I've probably overlooked quite a bit here, you may not even be able to transfer such a little amount of money either due to paypal fees and whatnot, unsure on that.

Don't give Garry any ideas...

If anything, pay some extra money for a 100x100 avatar (or somewhat bigger), I know people would pay for that.

[QUOTE=Daniellynet;36632980]Bad idea. If anything, pay some extra money for a 100x100 avatar (or somewhat bigger), I know people would pay for that.[/QUOTE] All that does is add revenue, whole point of my idea is to have multiple bonuses. To each their own though.

[QUOTE=David Tennant;36633073]All that does is add revenue, whole point of my idea is to have multiple bonuses. To each their own though.[/QUOTE] I can see the point, but you're removing a standard feature of a forum.

I would agree , but everyone from the start should start with x credits, like 3 thread credits.

Most forums have a system in place where you can only make x number of threads a day, that could work. I don't know about making it a paid for feature, though. No matter how cheap.
