moho25 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 ook. HOW did I not know about the Supporter membership tier? Dark0ne, you need to make that much more noticeable! I have been on this site regularly for almost 2 years and I didn't know about "Supporter" membership. You see the green "premium membership" button everywhere, but not supporter! $1.60 for a lifetime is ridiculously cheap! I would have signed up for that AGES ago. Make a blue "Supporter" button to go along with the green "premium" button to let folks know about it. I don't do ads, but I love the Nexus. I can Support right now, but will do a lifetime premium membership in a few months. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TesaPlus Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hello, I am behind a proxy server a/o hosts file, and googleadservices and the like just won't get through. Just telling. I don't think that the "Rewarding by Bandwidth" system is going to show considerable effect. The nexus is for mods you plan to play in the years to come, not for, say, online gaming. Download speed is therefore not that important. 0.75MB/s or 1.5MB/s: it's a cup of coffee more or less. I, personally, would be all happy when you kept page response high, put my download speed really low, and gave all the good bandwidth to the paying members.

BlackPhi Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 On the endorsement side, I would really love to see the option which is equivalent to "no disrespect but this mod wasn't for me". I use the 'Download History' link to manage my endorsements and it would be useful to be able to easily distinguish on the list between those mods I haven't got around to endorsing yet and those I tried but didn't want to keep. As far as endorsements versus comments goes, my view is "both, please". I do agree though that the endorsement must mean something - people shouldn't be incentivised to endorse stuff they aren't interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualBlack Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 This seems like a very functional system which will both help the site and boost community involvement. Now if only fiber optic internet was available in my area I could download at more than 750kb/second :laugh: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cionaoith Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 In the past 3 years, I have avoided 7 viruses from 5 sites (that I know of) simply for having AdBlock active. I am not happy about the fact that this means that I have not been able to help with funding the websites I use and love, but if my computer gets a virus from an ad, it'll cost me much more than my having viewed ads would have benefited the site. That said, I'll be looking forward to the £1 contribution being set up, because I do want to be able to contribute to the Nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightspk2 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 So does the new endorsement system work with currently endorsed mods? I've already endorsed every single mod I use, and I don't want to go back and un-endorse and re-endorse to get the benefits of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubster1980 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 You guys have done a great job, you have my support. Lifetime membership complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moho25 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 @Cionaoith -- The $1 tier is already available, but you have to access it through the forum profile feature. I set mine up literally 20 minutes ago. The no-ad portion of that feature is what needs to be implemented yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calzien Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) I normally use ad-blockers but after 5 minutes of continually whitelisting every ad service (I can't find an option to automatically allow ads shown from a specific site.) I gave up and just reset my list. I use Ad-Block (Which is easy to allow.) and NoScript but I can't figure out how to allow ads shown through the Nexus and only the Nexus with NoScript. If there's a way without having to repeatedly allow each and every ad please do let me know. It gets annoying having to reload a single page 20+ times because every moment there's a new ad server being blocked. EDIT: I paid for a 1 month premium for now, it's all I can afford at the moment so that'll have to do.

Usmovers02 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) I love the nexus. I'm not a lifetime member but I do renew my premium membership every 3 months if I can afford it. Plus I am in debt to this site. W/o the ads for the movie "Avatar" 3 years ago I never would have seen that astounding movie. Seriously. This is the only place I ever saw ads for that movie. And they made a ton of money off of me. I saw that movie in theaters more times than I care to admit.
