Donator Changes
If you've been on MPGH recently then you'll know that there has been a ton on "Message to *insert name/s here*" threads. These aren't necessarily the best use of time that I've seen on this website but they did spark up an interesting conversation. In one of these threads (this one) the concept of having an overhaul to the Donator status came up and it led to some interesting developments. A few people weren't happy about the color that your name is switched to should you have the Donator tag and others weren't happy about the tag itself. The debate continued and some interesting concepts and ideas came up, some of which I'll go through now.
Antipathy/Anesthetic came up with the idea to switch the main color of the tag to platinum, an idea that didn't go un-noticed. Anti suggested that we come up with a new tag along with this change and posted this as a concept:
In my opinion I think that the new tag provided by Anti is a fantastic alternative to the current tag. Anti also suggested changing the color of the name to either #b0b0b0 or #afafaf which, to be fair, is rather difficult to read until you make the text bold which could be a perk of having the donator status, a bold name. If these changes were to be made then anyone with the donator tag would have a name something like this:
Another idea was brought up by myself and Sheep, the idea of having an extra rank beyond the regular Donator status, the VIP status. Of course the VIP status would be harder to obtain than the regular Donator tag and would require you to give more to MPGH than $25. This new tag would provide the members who truly care about MPGH the means to come forth and show their dedication to the website. This would come at the cost of a $75 donation ($50 if you already had the Donator tag). This new class of MPGH'ians would have access to a larger avatar (200x300) and would bear a special tag above their new fancy avatar to show their dedication to MPGH. If this were to implemented I would suggest the name color be changed to pure black although this change is one that I don't see happening.
Of course these changes wouldn't be implemented until MPGH has made the switch to the Xenforo architecture and everyone is comfortable with the new layout but at this time it's simply a thought. I'll leave a poll at the top of this thread so that members can vote on whether they'd be comfortable with these changes or whether they only want one of them or even none. If anyone has any other ideas then be sure to sure them with the rest of us, thank you.
