Ok I think this is brilliant (if I do say so myself)!
For those of us who type really fast (80 wpm) I'd like to suggest if it's possible, for paying members to be able to post every 30 seconds instead of 60! I may not even be possible but I'd be interested in seeing if anyone else thinks this is a great idea.

Just a side note... I understand the reasoning behind limiting how often you can post. We had a big problem with kind of useless one letter posts way back when. But if it was for paying members only they'd have to understand not to abuse the privledge.

I don't type fast but often I juggle several windows at the same time...
greeting new members...
sending out PM's...
just posting for fun & support...
Sometimes, during that interminable wait for the minute's seconds to pass, I say words that cannot be posted here.


30 seconds between posts for paying members is a terrific idea Tammie.

I would not want to pay extra to be able to post faster, as rarely am I posting faster than once a minute anyway.

Sometimes, when I am typing a post, Dexter plops his huge furry self right down on my hands.
Everything comes to a stop until he gets his loving.

During those times, the 1 minute wait between posts in fine.

Oh Bayley, you silly kitty!
Maybe a mod can fix your vote? Or maybe it isn't really that important.

I think it would be a great perk, but wouldn't influence me to be a paying member.

That's what I meant was just a great additional membership perk. It would attract me for sure! Not to pay extra above and beyond the membership.

I have been a paying member for a long time...
just to help support the site.


Perks are an added benefit.
Maybe the 60 second wait between posts is to keep the occasional troll from flooding the site with posts.
Paying members would not flood the site with posts....I hope.


It's a close race....
those 30 seconds are very important.

I am getting silly now.

Yep, It is to help keep trolls from flooding the site. Also we had a bunch of folks typing in one letter repeatedly just to get post count up. And that was even before we had vb bucks and gifts.


HEY... those 30 seconds DO count a lot when you're getting ready for work and trying to respond to as many posts as you can!
I can type a whole paragraph in 30 seconds or less!

I always have multiple tabs open too, only having to wait 30 seconds would be great
