Default V.I.P. Section!!!

Its open! You can see the details when you click on the V.I.P. Section link from the main menu! I hope you like the idea! Have fun, and enjoy!

P.S. You will be given a DIRECT link in the V.I.P. section so feel free to use download accelerators or managers!

The V.I.P. Section was created an hour ago (well at least announced), right after I found this website... hehe, crazy ey?

Can't wait to be able to use it, I want to see what kind of stuff there is. Won't be able to upload any games, since I search for them myself, but I'll try to be an active member.

I hope we will now start enforcing the no spam rule a little more vigorously. People who spam their way to eighty posts should not get the benefits of the VIP section.

I'm not so sure if it's a good thing to encourage people to spam (getting 80 posts), just look at the forum of oldgames.nu, there's a lot of spam there just because people want to have credits to download.

Just my 2 cents.

Trust me...
Getting 80 post is not an automatic pass. If we feel that it was achieved through spamming, then the person will NOT get access :wink:

Yes, I have given it some thought. Don't worry, deliberate spamming will be detected and those members will not gain access. Actually I have removed the "80 posts" rule, and I will just set the size of this section according to my personal preference. This means people that consistently and actively participate in the forums, and also help out with the creation of the site. I will try to keep the "VIP" section <30 people at all times.

I would advice to make that part of the forum invisisble to regular users.
private[hidden] would be the option for that in phpbb
this will "remove" the anxiatie about it a bit. (It's bit frustrating i think to see but not be able to reach it.)

Hm, yes, but how will YOU access it if it is hidden? Or will it be visible to users that have access to it?

yes the usergroup with acces will just see it.
only people who aren't a member will not see it.
I've set it numerous times this way.
