I think I'll leave my donor status as it was, I really don't like ads and the benefits don't really do it for me, so whatever. :P I'm glad to see a new donations system that helps everyone and helps the site though!

So basically, you're letting every single user (with the exception of donors) on this site get the benefits of plus effects we buy with our own hard earned money? That sounds like something Obama would do...and I'm not a huge fan of sharing the wealth. And the effects seem like way too big, doubling pass orbs and all that for 3 DAYS.

Could we nerf some of these plus effects?

*facepalm*

Then don't buy any. If you want a game where you can buy your way to the top, go play Pokefarm.

Also the only people who don't get the benefits are people who stay with the old donation system's perks.

So if I was to upgrade to this new donation thingy, would I still keep the + at the beginning of my name? That's all I care about at the moment really, lol. This sounds pretty awesome though so once I get money and my question answered I will most likely switch over.

That is correct. Your user group will remain unchanged; you're essentially trading hiding the advertisements for the bonuses.

Aside from all the stuff about the system itself: Could you move the Plus tab button somewhere else? I understand you want to make it as eye-catching as possible (at least for now), but to be honest, the way it is now suggests that it's more important than the Main page. In the long run this will probably get a little annoying.

Maybe eventually, but for now we want it to have prominence over the other pages. I don't really feel like putting it at the bottom, and the accented colouring would look weird in the middle, imo.

I think this is a good plan.

I donated a long time ago to support the site and hide the ads. Will the ads return once my "credits" expire?

That is correct, yup yup.

For a moment I thought it would this would be something that would only benefit the ones who purchase. This is so much better

Faith in GPX+ restored

I love donating stuff to websites and people or events but truth is i dont have a pay pal or a credit/debit card im too young and my dad says that we... eehhemm they dont pay for free games so i'm truly sorry i cant be of help for the donations but i hope you get the money you need for the website

I didn't necessarily say I didn't like it, I said nerf the effects since it's lasting 3 days for EVERYONE.
I like working hard for things not "buying my way to the top" as you you put it.

Users who contributed under the old system will be able to keep their existing perks, or upgrade to the new system and receive the new ones (and in addition, a free bonus of 15 Credits as a thank you for your continued support!). All users, regardless of when they've contributed, will continue to have a separate user group.

How exactly do I tell it that I want to switch to the new system (other than... donating to it)? And what's this about 15 free credits? :P I know.. I should have waited till all the kinks were ironed out... but I read the whole page & already had been on paypal for something else, so I got excited! :P No 15 credit bonus though xD Am I reading that wrong?

[Pyotr]

I love to see GPX+ getting better and better (after having some experiences with games growing worse with time...)! This is awesome. It hurts my heart that I can't donate at the moment, but the whole Plus counter thing is pretty cool, it's so sweet that you stress being fair with everyone, making sure everyone will have the same benefits (which is also difficult to see...).

You go, Glen Coco staff!

Just one small question, in these Plus days, will the Backroom be open?

If you like working hard for it, get to clicking.

Sweets+ and Honey+ allow you to use the respective item as many times as you like. I thought there wasn't a daily limit on using those items?

Or do those perks mean that you won't use up a honey/sweet when you use them while the effect is active?

Also, can multiple plus's be active at the same time?

[Spoovo The Pirat...]

So now that the old system's defunct, can we ask what its perks were, exactly?

(Other than the obvious usergroup change... thing)

The Backroom only closes if there's a sale in the shop, so it will remain open (unless it coincides with Aurora, Pass Counter, or any special event on which we have a sale), yup yup.

[Snowsky]

Even if I can't buy Credits, I'm very glad the bonuses will help everyone.

[Manticore]

Also, just checking, if old donors switch over, do we get the 90 days of no ads with our 15 credits, or no?

It just asked me to switch over from the old system by going to the Plus page. You should also have 15 credits like I did. As well as everyone else that donated previously.

[Teen Bulma]

Holy cow these perks! I really like that it benefits everybody

For Honey+ and Sweet+, you'll essentially have an unlimited number of the respective item for the day.

Nope. The counters are frozen for the three day period once one maxes out.

Hiding the advertisements. That was it, yup yup.

[Yamper]

Well this is certainly interesting.

Back in the day when advertisments hindered clicking, it was a problem, but with the new site I hardly doubt there's going to be that much of a change (at least, I presume there won't be)

I won't switch just yet. Gonna re-read the first post a few times, look around the pages first. Seems pretty promising, and it's nice that you're able to do this.

This is not a place to try to spark a political argument. Take it somewhere else, please.

I'm not seeing anything like that anywhere on the page (except, of course, the button to actually donate). There's a big red "Help make the site better..." banner, but nothing in it appears to be clickable. Other than that, nothing stands out as a possible switch-to-the-new-system button... Could this have something to do with the fact that I donated $10 back before the adblocking amount was raised to $20?

I mentioned this earlier, but no one responded to it.

Can someone tell me why the Plus tab remains selected even when you're viewing a different tab? This is kind of bugging me...
