    Why is Looking at other peoples levelranks vip only?

    I dont get why is has to be for subscribers only. It would be useful to other people who dont want to pay for a forum for a month. Just wondering and if this is in the wrong thread please move

    I kinda like it being for subscribers only. :P

    But really, looking at others' levelrank isn't much of an asset to anything anyway.

      Cause I'll be mad if you look at my rank 5k on Amity that's why.

          System resources. It's because it takes a considerable amount of horsepower to look up everything. Opening it to the public would cause the entire site to slow down.

            You are unimaginatively incorrect. Subscribing is far more than forum perks. Try this:

            - Early access to new songs
            - Top notch customer support
            - BETA testing of almost every feature
            - Secret chat rooms and meetings with the administrators themselves to help better the website and game
            - Admission to the gay rodeo (Not Free)

            Also, as a last resort to your problem you can always hide your profile from the public making it unpleasantly difficult for users to view your levelrank stats. (They would have to type in the url manually if they could view it at all while your profile is hidden)

            EDIT: If your unsure about where you should place a thread, re-read the forum rules and the explanation for the forum category, if you are still unsure ask another user for assistance.

              Why wouldnt you just get a sub-hosting panel for just that part, and make it get linked from the site? If it wasn't on the same server, it would cause it not to lag. And that probably didnt make sense lol

                why don't we just break off every aspect of the site into a separate component and have 10,000 of them!

                Synth beat me to what I was going to say as the reason, and he said it better. That's why.

                  Makes you want to buy a subscription, right? What do you think the whole purpose of making things subscriber only is?

                          I thought the idea was that you give them money and you get a say in what they should do because they are spend your money. Not buying extra services.

                              Illegal? What the heck... Anyways. I never knew that subscribers got to look at other peoples' level ranks. That alone makes me want to subscribe. I hate asking other people to see if I rank better.
