Default Suggestion

I was curious if we could have an ls1tech PLUS member where you pay a little extra for the kicks IE not having to wait to search rapidly and the ability to change the title under your name and your name to be in a different color...Just throwing the idea around wondering what else everyone else thought!

+ it'd help fund the stie

The admins were already talking about something like this nearly a year ago, nothing ever came of it. (You're not the first to re-suggest it, either.)

They definitely do not have any lack of funds so they probably don't want to bother with it.

Too much work to be done to get the site working correctly to bother with that. At least for the time being. I think Brian will always have his hands to full to mess with stuff like that. Especially now that he is married

He's not married yet


This has been discussed and brought up a half dozen times but there are more pressing matters.

Plus, you don't need a badass title. You haven't even been here a year!!

I didn't give you my word concerning anything, nice try there tho.

There are plenty of folks that have been here longer than I have that do not have a badass title - some from day one. You haven't done anything that warrants a new user title, but the only thing I will promise you is that if you keep bugging for one, I can arrange for Unit213 or Vendetta to come up with a very very amusing one - at least to the rest of us.

I do like the signature pic tho, very nice

badass titles are reserved for staff members

We have thought about LS1TECH memberships, but there just isn't enough time right now to do this properly. Once we get the server issues corrected and the search function working properly again, and build another website, etc... we can consider this.

Let me open the discussion a little bit, to get a feel for what you guys would want "above and beyond" the norm that's worth pitching in for. My ideas thus far would be things like:
1. Ability to change your tag-line at will
2. Ability to access a special "members only" forum of some sort
3. Personal web space at LS1Tech to host things about your car or whatever (ie. brians.members.ls1tech.com)

I'm just throwing ideas -- none of these have really been formally talked about, but I'd like to see what you folks would enjoy. The #3 option to me is the most valuable, but is also the one we'd definitely need the $$ to make it work. Hosting personal web space for potentially 50,000+ people is one heck of an undertaking, both resource-wise and time investment.

Oh I wasn't bugging for a title I was just trowing the idea around and thought it'd be the perfect time to ask yes video hosting with direct links would be great as would be hosting but I guess paying for it wouldn't cost the site much oh well those ideas sound great brains I like my sig too

we already have video hosting
video.ls1tech.com

but, the members.ls1tech.com/username or the double subdomain like brains posted (never seen that before though...??) would be valuable I believe. No more messing with tinypic or photobucket to upload pics, just have them all hosted here with the img tags and so forth available for copy/paste.

maybe..... username@ls1tech.com (forwarding only, no real email, just a mask)

$0.03

I would pay for video hosting that you can acctually download unlike the street fire type of set up like it is now. Kind of like what Corvette kill stories has.
