Real question to HT...

[zorstorer]

HT is there any way to maybe have a contest for the skinners / sounds guys togive the winners some free AH2 time?  I think it could be a cool way to have the community thank them for their efforts?

[Furious]

or you could just set up a paypal account.

HTC gave us features we requested, and now they are to give free accounts to the users of the requested features?

Maybe they could pay me not to post skins.  I guarantee I could generate more horribly painted ill fitting skins than anyone else out there.  HTC is actually saving $$$ by not having to review them.  This savings should be passed on to me.

And exactly how is the "Community" giving them free time?

1 vote for sound pack...

then maybe a few votes for skins. have each submitter choose the single one they want in the competition. then have those the choices, allow 2 or 3 votes in all.

offer a "do next time" so people can go look in case they forgot which skin was their favorite,

maybe the "prize" could be 1 month free subscription. that would only be $29.90 out of HTC profits, but a great fun morale booster IMHO.

oh well my 2¢

Thanks JB73, at least someone liked it

Sorry just trying to get some positive community involvement, seems most people are into the negative side.  Seemed to be a good way to give some recognition for a tough job done well.

I just don't understand what you mean. Should we add $1 to the monthly fee for a "community trust" and vote on how to reward skinners or something..?

Maybe it would be a nice offer for HT to grant a free month for each accepted skin?

And HiTech could spin the wheel and see what HTC "community" member will pay that subscription.  

People make skins sounds,terrain,etc, Because they want to give back to the "game" they have enjoyed for so long. Compensation is the last think on their minds ( or maybe I should speak for myself) I get enjoyment from seeing people flying in a terrain I helped create.

Ok I'll spell it out...

Much like JB73's idea.

The community (read players) votes on a skin or 2 and a sound pack maybe even a map.  HT could then "GIVE" those players who won a month free or something like that.  No one here has ever recieved a award from a group before?  It's the little things like this that really add to a sense of community.  No I am not asking for a 1$ donation from anyone or an increase to the price.  Yes I think that the community getting together to single out a few exeptional skinners and sound guys would be a good (read constuctive) way for the community to get together.

But hey thats just me

(Open season)

Here is another thought....think of it as a collective "Thank you"... something people feel is not needed these days which is sad indeed.

[Jackal1]

Why don`t you just go ahead and mail HT a check for Ohhhhhh......say 6 months fees. Then we can all get together and pick a winner for the next 6 months, every month.. I know you wouldn`t mind.  

[zorstorer]

What really astounds me is the resistance to an idea that can only help the player community.  It's not like HT will have to raise his monthly rate from 14.95 a month to 14.96 a month to cover the 29.90 it would cost him.  I suppose amidst all the cries of foul play and general whining a decient constructive idea gets lost in the noise.  


BTW I am now taping the 2990 pennies together to mail in to HT.

HTC Can do a month without 15 bucks cant they?

[TDeacon]

Don't think it's in good taste to offer to give away someone else's (HTC's) money.  Even if it seems to you to be a small amount...

If you guys (zorsterer, ZB73, etc.) want to do it with your money, then it would be ok, of course.
