    Then you can enjoy posting on those sites with your avatar and your sig.

    This ain't a charity case.

    Couldn't agree more. Maybe once you reach a certain post count you can choose your own avatar -- say 1,000 posts.

    You guys better start passing the hat around and get some money together to give refunds to people who paid for that stuff.

    I am not saying that regular members should have all the other benefits that paying members get. I am just suggesting avatars.

    Then poll the entire Bigsoccer Supporters Club, find out what percentage of them valued Avatars as a reason why they chose to pay for premium membership, find out where Avatars rank in a list of importance of the features included in premium membership, then weight it accordingly. Find out what percentage of people's membership fee the Avatars represent, then go back and collect that amount of money.

    Is this not called the Suggestions and Announcements forum? Do I not have every right to suggest something? Damn...

    Could it be that this site has higher overhead than some other sites that don't get nearly the traffic that this one does?

    You exercised that right. Others are exercising their right to disagree with you. To be in favor of free speech, you have to acknowledge others' right to criticize you.

    Your suggestion in a nutshell: "Give me something for free that others are currently paying for," is good for you, but you make no effort to explain why it is good for Premium Members or for the site itself.

    The majority of people here don't pay. So yes it would be good for the majority of people.

    And I suggested that once members reach 1,000 posts that they should be given the option of choosing an avatar. If you look at my post count, that's not really helping me yet.

    Personally I hate sigs. Normally the 'joke' contained in them is not even funny the first time you see it, let alone the 287th. The thought of see sigs everywhere is one of the things that's put me off paying up for full membership.


    Of course what could be done, at no real loss (that I know of) would be to have the boards operate in full premium member format for one day a month so people know what they are missing out on.

    I wondered why we don't get sigs and avatars, answer the question Huss.

    I mean I enjoy this site, but I don't want to pay bloody 10 pounds for a bloody sig and avatar, comeon wtf.

    That and I don't have a credit card.

    nope. being the official soccer boards of fox msn 365 and others takes minimal effort, and certainly no interest in the sport.

    But hey, you got your very own yellow card without having to pay, right? Think of the value.

    Anyway, what happened with my suggestion? I've been here since 2002, and rarely do I suggest something.

    It's a great suggestion, but we have no plans to change premium membership at this point, except to add additional features to it.

    But explain how giving out free sigs and avatars benefits this site and justifies to extra cost.
    So a sig and an avatar aren't worth 10 pounds to you so they're clearly not that important, yet here you are....

    I never suggested signatures. Free avatars could be used as signs of appreciation to posters who have been part of this community for years.

    But I guess I got my answer from someone who ACTUALLY has a word on this, not just a person who pays.
