I think that a /vip/ board was a pretty decent idea to get pass memberships but I think this is probably just a first step towards longterm financial stability and independence of the site which is essential for the health of the community here. Some basic ideas
Increased image size permission for pass users (combine this with getting rid of at least gif, wsg, wg and hr to offset potential increased bandwidth stress)
Make tripcodes a pass only feature (at least those faggots would be paying to shitpost then)
I already think that pass is a good value for what it provides but I think some enticement might improve sales. I would prefer 4chan be pass funded rather than flooded with ads or dependent on some sugar daddy like Martin Shekels to bail us out.

>Trips only for pass users
Nah, man. I hang out on a lot of the boards that require them, like when you're playing risk or you need to follow a certain OC creator.
Taking away features for from the proletariat will only stagnate the site and dwindle the user base, which is it's main charm. You need people here or it's not fun; it's literally a barebones image board. No tricks or whistles, just people posting things.
I'd be heavily against anything that removes and only takes. It's plain lazy.

I am a fan of this idea

Have exceptions for certain boards then. And it's removing a negative feature since many tripfags won't shell out the cash for the sole purpose of continuing to be obnoxious.
If I have to read some tripfag's terrible post I should be able to do so knowing that at least he helps pay the costs of maintaining the site.

buy a pass and get a gf

Filter, then. Just because some people are annoying doesn't mean we need to remove features. Features being removed to give something to paying users is the death knell of most sites.
I hated the ayy lmao meme, but would I ban if from the site? No, I filter and move on.

let us super like camwhores on /soc/?
>get rid of /gif/ and /swg/
Both of those are important in their own way and would turn this board into porn. /gif/ is naturally for adult and sexual porn while /wsg/ is for non-sexual, more relaxing things like [AS] bumps, ear porn and other interesting things.

Or just decrease the limit for everyone else. Two birds, one stone.

>Not filtering tripfags
They already decreased the cooldown time and gave us our own board. They let us vote on the banner competitions too. What more do you want?
It's 15/20 dollars for a pass, it's not like we are donating hundreds of dollars, there's only so much they can give us.

>Filter, then
as someone that pays, I need to filter my experience for leeches?
I say that users are able to upload things and share links to their own drop boxes
Also, we should be able to private message in a thread.

Why not set up multiple image uploads per post? That way you have incentive for people who spend their time dumping stuff in threads.
