I'm not saying I don't like this wish............but...I'm glad this wish will likely never make it through like 99.9% of the others and hopefully get lost in the pages of wishes :)

Perhaps a solution a wish that the BBS ID, be linked to the  Active Member ID and provided somewhere identifying the status of the poster.  I'd like to know when I read a post if the person posting is a paying member.

There you go. I think that is a good idea. Doesn't take anything away, enhances transparency.

Perhaps use designations of subscriber, former subscriber and guest or something like that.

One of the things we have on the Pigs site and may work here is a Members Only Area.  Basically only registered Squad Members can see it and access it.  So same thing here for paying subscribers to have a Members Only Area Forum is not such a bad idea. 

With some work I'll give the wish a +1.

that's kinda the transition Traveler's wish has gone to Waystin...members only areas that are either hidden from view (which is being done to some people now), or that are read only for non-subscribers and areas where non-subscribers can fully interact and get questions answered.

So instead of limiting what we have,why don't you wish for single subscribers forum on the bbs where only the paying player can view by signing in with his game ID and password.

Then in theory HTC can heed the call of the paying player, which seems to be what you are looking for.  It can be the forum for the special kids...kind of the short bus forum for the overly needy and mistrustful.

I don't think HTC will care whose paying or not, any good ideas is money in his bank so to speak.

Currently anyone can get an BBS ID and have at it in the forums.  I'd like to limit the forum area to paying members.  Anyone could read the posts, but only paying members could post.

Have at it.
