U.C. Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I have seen enough people out here who just need help with OSX86, but are either too lazy to read the forums or just cant find the info, which may be ovbious for some OSX86 users. I was thinking of something along the lines of the Premium Package at www.motomodders.com They have package for 5$, which gets you for a month -Motomodder theme -Betas and Testing -Premium Live Techsupport Now many of us here, would be glad to help out n00bs through a chat session. The cash can be used for the forum, or for whatever. I think, this can be pretty cool. The site as well as n00bs and the experts would benefit. Whadda ya think??

Swad Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Well, it's a good idea, but this site isn't really about making money, and we get enough from ads to cover our expenses. Also, a lot of people (myself included) get annoyed with websites and forums that do anything they can to make a buck. Like those annoying little mouseover textual ads? Rest assured, this site will never have those. It's a good idea, UC, and thanks for bringing it up. I'm just not sure it fits the ethos of our site. What does everyone else think?

rollcage Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 i don't think that we would really need to make people pay to get more help with osx. i'm happy to help anyone that needs it and that i know how to help. and there are already so many ways for people to get help: you have posting on the forum, IRC, PMs. email, and IMing. and in my opinion, if you are too lazy to look for help, then obviously you don't care enough to deserve help. and again, there are so many ways for people to get help already, maybe they just aren't aware of them? Mash, thanks for the assurance on those mouseover ads, those are really annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Luca Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 yeah, I think we should help everyone in need without making them pay... Maybe we can create some kind of "Help Squad", made of people with good experience in OSX86... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.C. Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 I was thinkin more in line of a live chat through the forum. A user gets instant feedback, doesnt have to wait for replys and also can help others with problems through the live chat.

lord_muad_dib Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 there's no need of a premium help desk. hey... if peops are too lazy to write a word and press search.. it's better they give up. those ones wanting the meal ready asap.. are just annoying plus there is an irc channel for hopeless cases.. we couldn't want more than that my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
