... charge people to have forum access. A simple mictrostransaction fee too have access to view and a fee to post will solve two issues. 1. You'll only have serious people posting -- no more non-subscribing spammers. 2. Cryptic will get a little more money that will help them make STO a better game down the road.

    I am sorry, do you actually want me to take you seriously or are you just living under a bridge?

    You'll get people with money posting. That doesn't make them serious. This would also stifle the good/productive discussion that does occasionally occur here. If the devs want community ideas for the direction of this game, then this is one of the worst things they could do to themselves.

    We're sorry potential customer, but in order to view our forums and inform yourself as to whether or not you would like to buy this game, we must first require you to buy a forum pass. This is a temporary feature as the forum pass will be included when we implement our "pay to even view our website" feature.

    I'm often a smartass, rarely flat out insulting... but this has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. However, that said... there is a good chance someone at Cryptic is reading it and going..."Hmmm..., ya know thats not a bad idea'

    I'd pay for it. I'm just saying... In case cryptic is wondering if people would do that. I would.

    I agree! As STO has taught me, violence solves everything! I prefer to call it 'aggressive diplomacy' :)

    I'm in the same boat. I don't have the willpower to tell myself that this might eventually become reality one day.

    ohhh. I can pretend that this isnt a shallow, single-player, tactical officer only-rewarded, rudimentary third-person shooter, space-less, exploration-less, crafting non-existant, suicide-leveling game, and lie about the state of the game in a nice way for cryptic points. :D

    How about just starting a posters anonymous support group?

    We should also charge them to how long they are online.

    $2 an hour sound good?
