hah, first thing I thought of too. It's finally coming true D:
Not really a fan of the choice, but TL has done plenty of things I wasn't a fan of and I'm still here. Then again, if TL+ moves the more egregious ass kissing over to the private forum, I'm down with that.

QUESTION: If I gift someone a month of TL, and they're gone for a month, will they be happy or sad when they get back?
|
A private forum just for TL+ Users? I don't post much but i do lurk ALOT and keeping knowledge to a select paying crowd doesnt bode well with me. Best part of TL was finding awesome opinions and subjects to read.
|
I seriously considered buying a subscription for myself or a notable poster. In the end, I decided against it; no hard feelings, but my money would ultimately be supporting coverage and features for SC2 and DotA 2 while TL continues to mostly dismiss LoL, and I'd rather not support that.
|
hmmmm I would support when i get money, right now I am pretty poor wish there were more features though
thanks for that person who gifted me :D

You're welcome.

its amazing how many ppl bought this already (or got it gifted) :o didnt really expect that
|
I snagged this deal as fast as I could click the buy button.
|
For a second I thought it said I could report moderator posts. also it isnt called Gold Account /disappointed
|
where is the "My posts can contain more than 100.000 chars" option? Would have insta-bought it just to troll caller in one of his next games with that feature.
But having the filter button everywhere on TL and the shit-ton-of-posts-per-page-thingy does sound quite nice.
|
Now that thread OPs can receive TL+ from readers, this system would encourage good articles/guides. I used to write those just for "Thank you" or "Nice work" from readers, but future OPs can expect TL+ gift from readers when the quality of the thread is high enough. That's nice.

Can TL+ members be referred to as "stockholders"?

Donating to other relatively wealthy people just doesn't seem right. people are being charitable and you are trying to make them feel bad for it? for shame. The guy does make a good point though. I'm all for gifting the guy from Alberta who pretty much lost everything in the flood, but my lord look at all that charity. I hope some of you donate to good causes at the same time. Maybe I'm alone here but I don't feel like I'm making a charitable donation, I feel like I'm giving back to TL for being a site that I use so frequently. Sure I could buy 3 months worth for myself, but I find it more fun to buy 1 month worth for myself and gift two months to quality posters/people I like. I think somewhere down the line you missed my point and probably missed the part where dAP especially was gifting a lot of different posters TL+. In other words, a lot of TL users are gifting a lot of blokes to use the feature for many different reasons. Many of which being 'oh my gosh I cannot afford a few bucks because I'm a uni student.' Please, we've been there done that. We know the kinds of budhets they have. The point is for the few bucks it takes, it would be nice to see people give back to other good causes in the same breath. Now, I've been to a lot of third world countries. Heck, even forth and fifth world and let me tell you it is absolutely baffling. Nothing can prepare you for those horrors. I didn't miss any point, you're assuming that everyone who is giving it away is doing it because they want to be " charitable ". For me this has nothing to do with charity, I'm saying I have X amount of money I want to spend on Teamliquid. From that amount of money I want to spend this amount on other people (people I have interacted with and think deserve it, not random people who are asking for it) and this amount on myself, stacking 3 months on myself gives no additional immediate benefit compared to splitting it up. Why do you assume that users gifting TL+ don't donate to charities? I can tell you that I have many times. " Now, I've been to a lot of third world countries. Heck, even forth and fifth world and let me tell you it is absolutely baffling. Nothing can prepare you for those horrors. " Really, are you trying to guilt trip me? I'm aware of how badly many people in this world have it, even in the " first world " many many people have it bad. Yeah that sucks, but you know I can't save the world, I could donate every penny I have to charity but that wouldn't save the world. However, what I can do is give a little something back to this website for all the entertainment it has provided me, while also being generous to other people. It may be true that there are some users here who are randomly giving it away to people, you could say they're being charitable. Even if that is the case It's not up to you or anyone else to tell them that they're spending money on the wrong thing. Gifting features to other TL members certainly isn't bringing anyone out of poverty, but It's not meant to. It's about the same as paying for a friends meal, giving away a ticket to an event, or giving them a gift. It's just something that people do. true dat. i gifted two longtime friends, one romanian guy who wanted to help out but couldnt and then just two random people because i wanted to give $50 total to tl. turns out i knew both of the guys already. i wanted the money to go to tl.net and didn't care who it came through.
if you want to guilty trip me, i spent $13 on lunch yesterday and that doesnt last nearly as long as three tl+ memberships.

I think the definition of "stockholder" is "a person holding stock", so I'm guessing no.

I knew this was coming eventually but I'm happy to support TL ^^
|
All the TL+ junkies will keep coming back to get their fix. Its genius
