Reason is to increase security by not letting non-members to view anything else but announcements. I don't want to do this to generate more income, so I thought I better ask the community before actually doing this. Anyone posting here, who is NOT already a lifetime basic member of the main website bosart.eu and therefore would lose access? Anyone here who would prefer keeping this board open for all? __________________ have fun ... bosArt 04-14-2022 18:53 grizzletoad1 Triple Ace Registration Date: 08-21-2013 Posts: 240 Location: New Jersey RE: access to the board        Are you saying we may have to have a paid membership to post in future? If that's the case I oppose. One of the joys of this board is the ability to interact with others with a similar interest much the same as I do on other groups. If you want to do something like Facebook does with its groups where you have to be approved by an administartor to join I can get behind that. But restricting access to the board and thus the group is not something I can support. It would be a shame to lose it. 04-14-2022 19:26 bosArt admin Registration Date: 09-17-2014 Posts: 79 Thread Starter RE: access to the board        quote: Originally posted by grizzletoad1 Are you saying we may have to have a paid membership to post in future?

Nope, not like that. in case everyone here is a basic bosArt member anyway (that lifelong membership you have if you ever bought something), only then I would restrict this board for exactly those basic members, using same aMember login used for the blog/shop with no extra payment. As I said, I do not intend to generate more cashflow with this. And I'll only do it if no one from the community complains. So, if you are against it, it's already history :-) __________________ have fun ... bosArt 04-14-2022 19:40 grizzletoad1 Triple Ace Registration Date: 08-21-2013 Posts: 240 Location: New Jersey I understand where you are coming from. Like I said, if you do it like how Facebook groups do, with access granted only after an administrator grants it, that's just fine with me. 04-14-2022 20:31 Martina_Martes Junior Member Registration Date: 05-22-2020 Posts: 12 RE: access to the board        i copletly oppose , as i use to come to the site before i had my own money n all , we should draw in more ppl even if they cant financialy contribute , they will look n share 2 and the more the better 04-16-2022 17:42 bosArt admin Registration Date: 09-17-2014 Posts: 79 Thread Starter okay, then I'll leave it as it is ... __________________ have fun ... bosArt 04-16-2022 18:43 Tree Structure | Board Structure Jump to: Please select: -------------------- AnnouncementsMember LoungeProblems and SolutionsCritiques, Discussions & Reviews-- E-Comics-- Games-- Other ContentRequestsContributions-- Stories/Written Works-- Art/Other MediaReal Life Experiences bosArt » Announcements » access to the board Forum Software: Burning Board 2.3.6, Developed by WoltLab GmbH
