But who says you're better than the other people just because you've been here longer. We've got plenty of trolls who have been here for years, likewise we've got a lot of promising newbies.
Anyway, I doubt BYOND will end up 'pay-to-play'. They need to figure out a way to start making money, but simply charging people to be here wont be it. | |
If he makes it payible it should be for all. Like I've been playing for about a year. I would pay if i had to but i think making us all pay would cause a bit of an outrage among the elders and newbs. He'll prolly come up with something fair to all to prevent this outrage. And Dbzers play zeta rips and say there different. Lol I was a huge dbz fan until the zeta rips now its annoying to me, at least I have cartoon network.

Erm I will have you know that not only 10 year olds talk in this so called "L337" it's past that all sorts of ages talk like it an to be honest you will never get rid of the zeta rips of the dbz newbs cause what does a newb see when he first joins an searchs DBZ DBZ DBZ DBZ DBZ!!!!!!!!!!! Some of them after a while wise up an notice there all the same an ripped some dont! An if we ever do get rid of them then it will be something else they will rip an make small changes to like the name MJ MJ MJ MJ SEIKA SEIKA SEIKA SEIKA!!!! i dont know there is no way around it really just deal with it to be honest. An about this L337 talk not only newbs use it most of the majority use it because they think it is cool ... it's sort of like smoking you see others do it or your friends or the so called "cool people" an you think erm i better try that an before you know it your smoking a pack a day or in this case your talking L337 like the pro's. Anyway if dantom did make this paying i think it should only be for puting a hub entry for a fully done game like that other guy said sorry that i could not remember your name v.v i was flicking through the posts!.

We praise the l337, just we don't like it being used as a valid replacement for the English language. it's past that all sorts of ages talk like it an to be honest you will never get rid of the zeta rips of the dbz newbs cause what does a newb see when he first joins an searchs DBZ DBZ DBZ DBZ DBZ!!!!!!!!!!! --------------------------------------------- Er, not if we don't put a price on using BYOND. Look at it this way: Anyone with real money, anyone with money able to spend it on BYOND will not be interested in ripping zeta, or even zeta at all. They'll have better things to do, because they'll be intelligent adult human beings (yeah, I said human beings, fo'shizzle). Some of them after a while wise up an notice there all the same an ripped some dont! --------------------------------------------- Wait, a little hypo-...oh, don't worry. Even if a few wise up, that's 1 in thousands. Not good enough. An if we ever do get rid of them then it will be something else they will rip an make small changes to like the name MJ MJ MJ MJ SEIKA SEIKA SEIKA SEIKA!!!! --------------------------------------------- Thing is, Aaiko and Gunbuddy are slightly more careful with their file than others have been. i dont know there is no way around it really just deal with it to be honest. An about this L337 talk not only newbs use it most of the majority use it because they think it is cool ...it's sort of like smoking you see others do it or your friends or the so called "cool people" an you think erm i better try that an before you know it your smoking a pack a day or in this case your talking L337 like the pro's. --------------------------------------------- No, Leet speak is cool, the coolest thing around. I don't think you should compare it to smoking as, although it is unproved, Leet speak doesn't cause cancer. Sorry to disappoint you there. Anyway if dantom did make this paying i think it should only be for puting a hub entry for a fully done game like that other guy said sorry that i could not remember your name v.v i was flicking through the posts!. --------------------------------------------- Quite. | |
I did not mean that we were better than the other people, sorry if I mislead you. What I meant was, the oldbies have been here for awhile and if it becomes payable some of them might leave because they have to worry about other things they need to pay for. The newcomers could use people like us, to show them the ropes, to show them how to code, to help them to code, ETC. it would help the community out a lot.

I really do hope Dantom starts charging for hub entries. It'll clean up a lot of stuff. Plus, dantom could start making some money :-O
And anyone who doesn't want to pay can advertise their game somewhere else. But, this has been discussed before and now I'm getting off topic :-X | |

BYOND will do advertising in a while... However, until they work out their truely-public release, they just lose money per user, so that isn't a good idea quite yet. Yep, Kunark is right. When the time comes, Dantom will publicize BYOND, but first they want to make it as marketable as possible, and as user-friendly as possible, and make sure the e-commerce/PayPal integration is "ready for prime time", and so on. As Kunark notes, right now each new user actually costs Dantom money because Dantom has to provide bandwidth for the forums, Hub communications, etc. In the meantime you can enjoy knowing that you found BYOND long before the rest of the world. :) | |
How would you verify though?
You could say "yeah, on another key I'm older", but then so could I, and I'd be lying. I joined about 11 months ago.
