I know this is off topic, but I have never understood this statement - if as the other week everyone was unable to get on to Funky surely it has to be the server ? It can't really be everyone's connection at the same time, can it ?

In that case it was the server with every user being off, but 99% of time when people moan they lost connection because of the server, they are wrong, purely because the only time it is the server is when EVERY user gets kicked off.

not true, when you get "an internal error occured and has been logged on the game server" or whatever it says, that is a server error than only kicks one person off.

They all sound good to me

Another one:

Premium cloth option, faster more responsive cloth available for premium v premium games only.

I think we might need a different thread for this.

Best get back on Topic

I only have premium because the moving adverts annoyed me, I never really got lag problems.

I don't really care about any of the suggestions none of them would or wouldn't sway me into buying premium.

In actual fact when renewing this year I checked to see whether there was any intention to highlight premium members any more, because if they were I wasn't going to renew.

So different folks, different strokes

Ive never really even thought about it

If you don't like the additions then they could be optional so you have the choice to have them or not.

You're absolutely right and I hope they are optional.

I was just saying that theses things wouldn't sway me so may not sway others.

Adam.... I know how everyone is allowed an opinion but yours

Never heard of this. It must be a rare one, I think damee is spot on 99% of the time people complain about the connection it's something on there end. I've never once been logged out unless the site has gone down completely.

Some good suggestions Adam, although i can't see Nick spending any of his time on things for premium, he would have to defo charge more money and most people don't want pay £9.99 for a year so i doubt many people would want pay more for extra things, Nick would probably end up more out of pocket at the end of it.

I had it twice in 2 days haha, once on here against horse10000 in carom and once on pool against someone in 8UK. I don't know many people who have had it though.

I think the reason not many people get premium is because it doesn't really add a lot. Some fancy cues and no adverts. As I think si said, many games give those who pay over double the game size, or give the equivalent of premium users an advantage over non-premium. I can see that going down the second route would cause problems and is not a good idea for this site, however giving premium users a bit more wouldn't hurt. Personally I think an extra game type would be the way to go.

I agree it wouldn't hurt, but Nick would have to spend time on it and wouldn't really benefit from it, unless loads of members were willing to pay more money for premium which i really can't see happening, there doesn't seem to be much feedback upto now anyway.

if there was a shot or game recorder, i would pay the tenner

I dont know how the whole authorising payment and stuff works , i tried to become premium but my payment option wasnt available . i live in Ireland and i use a lazer/maestro card , which isnt one of the payment methods , maybe a few more payment options would help

^^ that is a good point !!

If you can't pay, you can't join !

I thought you needed paypal to pay?!

Now you come to mention it, I think you do pay through Paypal - but I think it says you don't need to have an account !


Don't know how that works

i have a question, why do people buy premium then deactivate? just seems more work for the admins to keep moving it over.
