JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

It has been 10 bucks for over 15 years. Should bump it up to 20 at least.

No way! Don't you know the CPI is tied to the cost of an SA account? the fact that it is still :10bux: is the only thing keeping inflation as low as it is!

Currently an account on Russian SA costs 518 Rubles if I recall, though that price has probably gone up since I started typing this sentence.

cheaper av changes, custom platinum icons, and paid probating of others would be good income streams

Those are good ideas. Let's brainstorm ideas to allow Lowtax to gouge us more.

microtransactions are definitely the way forward imo.

i mean you can still win SA without paying for posting energy and custom avatar hats, it'll just take a lot longer.

Maybe have posting quotas. each hour affords you one post, up to 10, otherwise you can purchase gems in app that will replenish your post quiver.

they should be queued, and the quoted party should have to pay to publish them. No internet man can resist the pride of being empty quoted.

Just make it $1,000,000 for an account and rebrand as a luxury forums. Sit back and wait for that one registration (only need one!) to come in and we're all on easy street from here on out.

SA should go FTP (Free To Post) where you can post 5 times a day for free but then it costs Golden Manbaby credits (50 for $19.99).

I haven't seen the figures but I'm convinced that the ratio of new people registering versus banned people reregging is like 1:10, so from a business perspective your idea is loving stupid also you are probably ugly.
