Sorry for the all caps in the description but I feel it would be the best way to attract Davideo7 here. Anyways, what I am suggesting here is a donation drive that lasts for a set time and during the drive you get more than just Viz. What you get is listed below.


Viz depending on the donation

A big donation (Amount to be decided by Davideo7 if he approves of this) would award a vizzed elite position plus the laptop item free of charge along with the netplay item free of charge. You also get ad free as well as a username color.

A smaller donation would award you the laptop and netplay item free of charge plus a username color.

A weaker donation would award you a colored username.


The donation amount needed will be added once Davideo7 approves of this (If he does)

Davideo7 : Thought you'd like to see this (I even all caps the thread title so maybe you'll be more likely to see this) I'll let you decide if you want to do this, whether or not the awards are fair, the donation amounts for the rewards and any changes you may have. Just thought I'd throw this your way.

Although a donation drive like this could create more drive to donate, keep in mind that the Elite status only has three ways of getting aquired. First, the most obvious, you were former Staff. Second, Davideo give it to you, because he feels you deserve it. (Never actually heard of a case like this.) And third, Patreon. 

A drive where you get the status would undermine both Patreon and Staff. It should be something that requires both time and effort. I got it because I am willing to donate a minimum of $25 a month. If you want to keep the status, you have to donate for a year. 12x25. That's a total of $300 dollars a year, plus a commitment to stay an entire year. 

That would help to prevent those who just want the status to have it. You have to earn the status. All of them require something, a donation could be done by anyone, for almost any amount. 

As for the items, you can get that using the Viz you got from donations. That's kind of the reason behind it. 

A drive would be awesome, but I think it'll have to be something that is unique to the drive. Not items or a Status you can get normally.

Yeah I don't see this happening.

The elite status is something that David decides on himself and there shouldn't be a 'system' for it, if you will.

Username colors are only given to those in the top 5 or top 3 (forgot which one) of the donation list, and $25/month+ patreons.

And the free items completely negates the whole point of donating. Might as well get rid of the Viz if you're going to do that.



Also, I'm removing the caps in the thread title/ subtitle because it's spam.

Furret : The donation drive would last only a day (Think of when your local TV station does a toys for tots drive etc) and then donations would go back to normal after the time is up (It would probably be from 6 AM to 6 PM)

We should do an annual Christmas drive that lasts only 24 hours. How it works is when a user donates a random gift from the itemshop will be awarded and gifted to them based on their donation amount. Someone who donated $10 for instance would receive Viz and an equal value item in the itemshop that matches their donation amount OR double Viz for their donation. The bigger the donation the better the reward. Top rewards for donors in excess of $250 could include elite status, username color or a patreon trial for one month.

Pokemonfan1000 : This has already been in effect before. In fact, I got both my original elite status and my colored username from donating.

darthyoda : I could probably list at least 4 users who got elite just by donating.

zanderlex : Well it is true that you could donate enough to receive Elite status before, but you can't really say " If that was the case, then how would there have been elite in the past?" since most people get it by being an ex-staff/moderator/administrator.


The idea...I don't think it would work. In order to make it worth it for David, we'd have to require a minimum of $300 and I don't think anyone would cough up a $300 up front fee for a special title. As for the smaller items, again they would have to equal the same as the appropriate tier of Patreon pledges for a year.


The only way I could personally see this working is if it were a new system that was always active, because giving a large sum on a whim (and with only a day to decide on it, a whim is what it would be) is something not a ton of people would do.
That's just my opinion. Obviously my opinion isn't important on something like this, only David's would be.

Eirinn : uhh idk what you're talking about, he said the only way to be elite was to be a patreon.

If patreon was the only way then there wouldn't be Elites 3 months ago.

Pokefan1000: Elites have been around for a long time. I don't know if you misunderstood what I wrote or what... But I explained three distinct ways you could get the Status, without a drive. 

I do have to say that JigSaw's idea, if we were to do one, that would have to be the most efficient way to do it.

Let me clear up the confusion (If there is any) What I was referring to was that I thought the only way to get elite through donating was through Pateron (As in you couldn't get it through the normal donations but only through Pateron donations. Being staff is the only other way to get it without donating)

What is the purpose of this thread?
You already get a Viz reward for donations via the donation page which can be used to purchase the laptop item if you so choose...

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
