| Permanent accounts on sale! And looking for beta RP communities |
[Aug. 14th, 2008|09:15 pm] |
Inksome is having a Permanent Account Sale!
Permanent accounts are a great way to get more for your money. Not only do you get all the features of a paid account in perpetuity, you also get
50 additional userpics, for a total of 300
250 additional maximum friends, for a total of 1500, and
1 free rename.
Note that the additional userpics and max. friends will always be in effect, so if paid accounts get a 50 userpic increase to 300, perm accounts will get increased to 350.
A permanent account costs $150. This is a limited time sale! This sale expires at midnight CST on Friday, 12 September 2008. That means at 12:01 on Saturday the 13th, it's too late.
( Probably of interest only to roleplaying types )
Finally, we know some people are nervous about giving money to us because we're not stable like LJ. In an attempt to set your mind at ease, here's some stuff that's going on:
* Inksome recently registered as an LLC in Missouri. We even get junk mail!
* Kit has been busy putting account type on userinfo and is closer than ever to getting the process of converting accounts automatic.
* Jamie and Kit talk about Inksome at home daily. Jamie gets some impossible idea and Kit ruminates on feasibility.
* The Inksome staff in general are hard-working folk who have made our site look different from just any LJ clone. They are working to get styles un-b0rked. And they've been hard at work assembling a FAQ for our site.
In short, we are dedicated to keeping Inksome working.
Thank you for your support. |

Sorry, folks, random Talk Like A Pirate moment. :)
So ![[info]](http://www.inksome.com/img/userinfo.gif) staff_jamie has several ideas about how to make Inksome a more attractive place for fannish types like many of us are here. And I think they're great ideas, and I'd love to have them all. There's just one problem - I don't have the time to implement them. I work a full-time job, and don't have a lot of free time in the evenings. My weekends invariably are busy. So rather than wait for me to take the time to do this, I am offering bounties on these features:
* Improved comment thread expansion, maybe customizable
* The ability to display the most recent comments or the most recently updated thread in a post.
* A primary/secondary account system such that one personal journal may be noted as being "owned" by another journal. The user on the primary journal should be able to update the primary journal and all secondary journals.
* Captchas for anonymous comments using ReCAPTCHA
I am also offering a bounty for fixing the b0rked styles; if you want to work on that, I'll provide you with a copy of the DB with all users/communities removed.
Bounty is one permanent account for each. I'm also willing to entertain suggestions for other features; please contact me at kpeters@inksome.com if you'd like to discuss it.
I will be putting up a public Subversion repository soon; you're responsible for setting up your own development environment. Code must be submitted as patches to the existing Inksome code and licensed under the GNU GPL v2 or later. |
