It don't sound that good to pay for nick...
Do you think you can hold it back untill you pick up somthing better?
No disrespect at all, it just don't seem that good.

Yeah i know its hard work to code it all and that but dont you think you can buy somthings for the upgrade?

like screen video recorder and code it on to the site?
also somthing like youtube? so you can watch peoples games?

I not sure what you can do but you've do alot for your sites.
I just dont want to see it go down hill

maybe if some people will leave some suggestions just check it and see what can be done.

There are already a few threads about premium with more suggestions, and also one where people are wanting to pay for it as it is now!

The biggest thing is the removal of adverts, since many people have performance issues due to these.

Also, i'd suggest you search youtube for funkypool, you may find people already do that

Anyways, at the end of the day, we will see what people want..

I know!
I know!!
I know!!!
I know!!!!

but putting a movie maker and movie viewer on this site would be class!

you alway bust up my threads spinner your too wise for your own good

Putting a pool game on youtube would be quality too, but kinda pointless..

oh... wait...
your calling nick pointless then...
i think "think" he was gonna do a video or somthing once!!!

I think the site is fine as it is. But i think the right kind of people will benefit from premium, i won't, as i don't get lagg, and i don't play that many of my friends. Although i might be tempted to buy premium if i'm allowed to shock people through their keyboard, which nick says he's going to implement soon enough, for the right people!

Brows - i'm not even going to try to figure out what that comment meant

I think it might have been to do with being able to replay games and let people see them, and yes, that was on the cards at one time and would be excellent.

Personally i'm looking forward to the career aspect and prize tourneys.

Many people will enjoy the practice/trickshot abilities too, thats been requested since day dot on the forums.

The Shocker will be the best feature though!

I'd like to be able to change the colour of the balls

"Foul: Squeezy potted the green...on UK 8 ball "

Prize tournys will be good

Lol squeezy, colour changing would be interesting and it's a nice idea.

But as we all know, premium is being held back, just look at it this way...it means more features can be added or considered.

A long way to go yet.

I think the 1st release date was 2006 Q1...bout 15 months ago lol

When it comes out it will be all shiny and tings but till then I kinda like it as it is

Quite happy to wait and then moan when it comes out that I dont like it as i do with most things...

Hopefully there will be some sort of demo that shows the benefits, like an advert.



Dave, you moan about new things? What you think of them new mars bars?



Personally, i think they are a tad too marsey

why in god's good name would we have a video player on this site.

lol yeah as skeeeezaayyy has said the premium has been expected for 15 months, it'll be well exciting when it does come out..but at the same time i loves my old school funkypool

I agree with Spinner. I would pay for what it is now, and I'm not joking. But I would pay to get rid of the adverts, as they sometimes effect my game. Aswell as Spinner, I'm really looking forward to the prize tourneys, and career aspects. The prize tourneys will be really competitive and I think that will be great. The abilities on the practice table will be worth paying for. I'm sure alot of people will pay for them. Also, as someone has said, that if we wait, more suggestions will be asked...

And then when the Premium feature comes in, it will be alot better than if it came out now, as more suggestios would of been said and added.

Sorry if it is too much to read, I like to get my point across

Is there a rough idea of the price of the premium yet or is it still to be decided?

~Domi~

must have found a new hobby cause i think u need to pay for it

Domi,

It is still not decided I think, but the price won't be that high as all ages must be able to afford it. I'm not sure if you pay a one-off payment or pay monthly option. Obviously If it is a one-off payment it will be higher than if the option was to pay monthly. I would give a quess, but it wouldn't help as I really don't have a clue. There are different payment options you can have, but I stated the obvious ones.

Josh

As take that say "Have a little patience".

Seriously though premium is going to be big but not everyones cup of tea. I will be paying for it, mainly to support the site, because the site has given me lots, and i would have been happy to pay for it from the start, without any of the benefits.
