@Fear, its still free to use, no one is forcing you to pay. If you want the added benefits from paying--pay, if not, don't complain.

@James, god forbid Sneeza wants to make money off of something that makes so much money for so many people.

@Probably a spy, items are problematic when it comes to taxes (plus it just adds an extra step to get $)

It says you will be upgraded to premium status. There was no where where it said they could revoke that.

Please show me where it says its promised forever.

Just stop crying and leave Outpost already. I'm already loving this update as all the cry babies and 5-year olds will leave and i'll no longer have to listen to their incessant bullshit.

Yes, prove how you're so much more mature by name-calling. You look no better than the whiners, hell worse considering they didn't resort to middle-school tactics.

I see no name calling there whats-so-ever.

Actually, I've been a member for quite a bit longer than that. I've been trading on this site for over a year, at the minimum. And yes, I was told originally it would be permanent.

Please show me proof of where it says its premanent.

Does anyone know what the minimum was to get to blue/top level donator? I can't remember.

Sneeza,
Glad you figured a system out. Hopefully it weeds out the losers.

$10+ for blue.

And i agree with you 100% this will just thin out the stupid people/people you dont want around anyway.

What if I don't support this method? I'd way prefer to get my money back rather than a limited time for the money I already donated.

Furthermore, lets say sneeza didn't implement this. Outpost would run out of money and be forced to shut down.

Guess what, you'd all lose your donations completely and you wouldn't be able to use Outpost at all....

P.s. it never says the perks will last forever.

It's not our fault his business model wasn't scalable. His business mentality was novice and while this move shows his entrepreneurial motivation to monetize his undoubted skills, it also reveals that same childish business mentality. We're not just donators, we're customers and investors. In one single keystroke he's alienated all. It's amazingly blind.

I actually tend to disagree. Outpost was better about a year ago than it is now due to the fact that nearly everyone is a donator (which leads to far less exporure); and the fact that it seems that there are even more illiterates now than ever.

So what will happen with this update?
>5 Year olds will no longer be able to donate, and will probably shift to bazaar (Thank God).
>And the butthurts who cry about everything will shun Outpost.

As a result the butthurts, cry babies, and invalids will all be gone, and Outpost will be a much better place.

--Thank You Sneeza.
