And I think it's a good solution to get money over pro accounts, but please, give non pro-users at least a basic search function (name only or something), otherwise drop.sc is not really usable for somebody who doesn't want to watch random replays ... | ||

You've created this very helpful tool for the SC2 community and now, not only are you monetizing the basic service but you're also making us feel as if you were always in it for the money. how about you pay for their server/storage space so the rest of us don't have to then  seeing as you are the good guy here | ||

Just simple non-intrusive ones on the side. Yes, you clearly are in the loop. The ads have been running over a year. No one are clicking the generic google ads. Start with Google Ads => Discover poor CTR => Approach potential partners that appeal much better to this gaming segment => Discover getting monetary partnership is fucking difficult (have sent dozens of proposals) => Re-iterate and think something else => Pro accounts Open to suggestions, as always. | ||

Right now it doesn't make sense for us to create a "bulk" packages since we cannot predict how the pro accounts are going to change. And we are definitely motivated to expand the feature set of pro accounts. | ||

$5 a month is quite a lot considering some people like to use the site on occasion, rather that all the time. When the site was live before the recent down-time, I would use the site maybe 2/3 times a month if I was struggling with a certain match-up or a certain map, so I would download a replay or two, and learn from it. I don't feel paying $5 so I can search for specific stuff is worth it to be honest. Maybe for someone who uses the site regularly, but for someone in my position, not worth it... | ||

As long as people can still upload and share files fast and free, i'll keep using the site. However i understand you do need to cover costs, and it is a good site. Perhaps put a limit on uploads per month per user if not a pro account? We are aiming to keep the basic functionality of drop.sc free. Thanks to the pro accounts, we now have a financial possibility to do that. We are going to push pro accounts further with new features. If you have suggestions, please let us know! | ||

Thanks for your effort on this website. I really like to download GM level players' replay regularly. My suggestion is that to give different options (levels) of "pro account". I would like to pay $20 one time so that I have the search function (5 per month is like 60 per year too much for me). However I don't need the upload function since I'm not a pro player. I just want to learn some builds from pro player. Please consider more for casual users. Anyway, I like this website its the only place I can find pro replays when they play on ladder. | ||

We'll definitely consider this once the pro feature set has matured. | ||
