Define community, are you talking about the community of paying customers or are you talking about the BBS community?   They are two different sets of people.  The benefit to the paying community is that they receive a perk, they can post in the members only forum room where the none paying community can't.  The non-paying community can continue the use all the other forum rooms as they currently do, unchanged.  The benefit, all the posts in the members only room come from paying members, those players with a vested interested in seeing AH be as successful as possible.  The wines, grips, and suggestions in the members only forum room would be coming from the people that are paying the bills at AH and are the only reason that all the other forum rooms on the AH BBS and the game exists.

I'm talking about the Aces High community at large. Those that subscribe but don't have a BBS account, those that subscribe and only read the BBS, those that subscribe and post, and those that only have a BBS account.


This is something we share, and all have in common, whether or not we can play. Some of my friends are on deployment right now, and don't maintain an account when they don't use it. Should their voice be muffled simply because they're serving their countries?
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

My suggestion does not stop anyone from posting in the forums that currently exist.  They would be able to read everything. They would not be able to post in the members only forum.

AS it has been stated before. If this was to happen you would effectively isolate a fair portion of the BBS. Their opinions do matter, because they can give unique insight as to why they left or things that may/should change. Informing other players and HTC alike.  Why wouldn't HTC want their opinions? When if they regard them, they could get some subscribers back, and potentially earn new subscribers. While I understand your frustrations of people who 'don't pay, so they shouldn't have an opinion', that really isn't a fair shake to them either.

If it really bothers you, just add them to your BBS ignore list .   :salute
It doesn't isolate anyone, everyone can  read and post in the forum, just not in the members only room.

And we fully understand this, BUT STILL SEE NO BENEFIT. The ideas of subscribers are not inherently better than those of non-subscribers, nor are they likely to be better.

Some of you guys act like this would replace all the other forums.

Calm down.

Imagine a new forum called Traveler's Rest. Open to active players only.

Imagine 2 weeks passing.

Imagine the effect on the other forums.

Feel better now?

Make it like most MMO games, anyone can read the forums but to post you need to be an active subscriber.

ack-ack
we would have missed Penguin and David Wales with that rule

Some of you need to think about the impact of your hair brained ideas on the game before you go off posting senseless retardation.

How would zero impact hurt the game?

 This is the wishlist.  It's the proper forum for hair brained ideas. For insults not so much.

Everyone in this thread gets to post their opinion. Then you make it special with insults because you don't like their ideas.
Now you want to criticize without being criticized for it.   :lol

You might want to move along. That would be a good idea chief  :aok
Its an ignorant idea that HTC has addressed many times before and gave reasons why.

The OP asked for a private forum and we already have those. Were you insulting a different comment?

And you are concerned with what I said, why?
Are you now the official AH bbs police patrol?
