i think users should be able to / or have the option to contribute towards server cost's if they want to, to help keep this website going, Like a donation link maybe on home page, I would agree i dont know if anyone would.

Yeah not a bad idea that.

I do also think premium accounts need to be brought over from snooker (Tenner for 12 months gameplay, advert-free game window.)

agreed, i've already asked nick about this but you know the only time he's on is for a restart so i never got a reply

I agree damee, maybe bring premium accounts onto funkypool, i.e Vip user's dont have to play 100 games to type on forum, & nd so on

But if your on both sites, your have to pay for both?

it says in help that this will always be free and they get the money from advertising so this will have to be optional or im gone

Obviously it should be made optional and that way it will keep its users i think it should be the user's choice wether they would like to contribute,

Good thread, and a good idea (Y)

Ty Let's see if nick reads lol

Erm no chance lol, the amount i pay for broadband and with my wages i wouldnt pay for what i should already get, i dont agree with paying for stuff online otherwise i feel im wasting money on broadband.

Don't mind it as an optional thing, but doubt it would be any good and why anyone would pay when they have it for free i do not know.

Also paying for free advertisments i dont agree with, should just be a full screen full stop and keep the advertisments on forum etc, never have at all bothered with them and find them a pain but i wouldnt pay to reomve them either, i could just go pub and play wso and would only cost me 40p all night

i agree with kirk with people already struggling pay there bills also to feed themselves bit of a bad idea but could become optional

Well it is optional on snooker is the premium accounts, so it wouldn't be necessary!

Nick said its a good idea nd will come into action soon as optional like snooker

Unfortunately no site can be completely free without some revenue, be it advertisers, benefactors, subscribers or some other service. There is no "should already get" - there's costs involved with running a site that have to be paid by someone.

However as I've always said the core game will always be free.

yeah thats what i was trying to say nick, like made optional wether u would like a advert free window :P

Ok that's cool but how about if we work killerpool and funkypool together.

For example at the moment you are giving vouchers to amazon on speed pool, but what if you done something in which people can earn instead of a voucher a way to get a premium account on here for free, that way its for the main part all pool related while you set it up more.

That's if the premium account comes into place.
