[QUOTE="amplify, post: 2347261, member: 130638"] What a week it has been! We silently rolled out three of our biggest features to date: #hashtags united to a more "legacy" forum tag system; a way to control your experience by ignoring content and not people; and forum verification seen with the orange checkmark on the member card, posts, and profiles of [USER=143534]@robmonster[/USER] and [USER=322979156]@auctionscott[/USER]. Our biggest Friday announcement is that we are moving to a free forum model. That's right, free. We will not be freemium, wherein one must pay to upgrade or stand out; we will be free. We felt that there should be no barriers to entry to domain name investing, except for domain name registration fees, which we cannot control. We want the world to learn and excel, and the only way to do that is to be free. We're not moving to free just yet, though. We wanted a seven day grace period for older members to seize an opportunity. People that have paid for Gold, Platinum, or Exclusive in the past can edit their signatures to the permissions that they paid for. These signatures will then be locked in until you choose to change it under the new permissions set for regular Joe's. A little secret about signatures... they are invisible to guests and visible to users logged in. However, if you [URL='https://www.dnforum.com/account/connected-accounts/']connect your account[/URL] to Federated Identity, your signature will be visible to guests! We will also have hard limits on threads. This means that members will be allotted X open sales threads (discuss this number below). Once a user is at this limit, they must lock an old thread if they want to post a new sales thread. Just a note: don't try to cheat the system by unlocking, bumping, and locking—we're two steps ahead of you and already thought about how to prevent that. There are now going to be fixed times to bumping. No longer will moderators have to give warnings; the system won't allow you to bump more than 2 times in 24 hours or it will force you to merge your posts. ...I think that is all, for now... Enjoy your new forum experience! [I]If you have any questions about these features or have trouble using them, please comment below.[/I] [/QUOTE]
