I wouldn't hesitate to pay for a membership as long as it was more like 25 dollars a year, but I think BHW stands to lose a lot by charging members.

I think a much better option is keeping BHW free, but making it invite-only.
 
Black Hat = Secret and if everyone will start doing these it wont stay a secret "lol"

My vote is Yes: Please close off BHW to visitors I don't mind paying even a large fee.
 
Ha I think it great how many people who have 20 or less posts and have only been here a week, saying they want BHW closed off from the world
 
I agree BHW should be closed off from the world.

Why? Just look at the AC method. Tons of leechers and way too many doing it all at one time. That's what got AC suspicious and started shutting off our multiple accounts. And this is just one of the examples. Any method, no matter what their sales pitch is, CAN BE saturated.

Especially if the method is leeched into DP.
 
I've read through a lot of these posts and I have to say it's only fair to the people who are here and to those who haven't found this yet that the board stays free.

If it goes to a paid site, the membership is bound to drop by staggering numbers and then the whole purpose behind creating this site in the first place (For people to communicate and exchange blakhat money making methods amongst one another; at least I think?) will then be greatly jeopardized.

I say make the Jr VIP/Exec requirements higher (If that means I'll never get one then so be it) and perhaps move some of the subforums to higher status levels.

That seems more than fair and should do this site much needed good. I know I owe a lot of my ideas, methods, etc to this very own site, so I'd hate to see it jeopardized for those to come after me.
 
Its ratherly a complicated question, maybe there are users outhere on the web that can contribute a lot to this forum and dont know about it for the moment. The fairest way from my point of view is to close the registrations and make an invitation system, and alow only trusted users to invite other people with a front section where new users who want to join must post something like 20 posts with real usefull information and then be review by the staff if they are worthy of joining in. By imputing a fee you just loose some people, almost anyone can pay 10$ month, and as i can see the situation we are looking for quality not quantity.
 
I would honestly...It's to much valuable info in here to just be take for granted.
 
We need a new poll.. one that has

- Please close off BHW to visitors... have it be an invite only community
- Please close off BHW to visitors... I don't mind paying a small fee.
- Please keep BHW open to the public... I like it the way it is.

And I could almost guarantee the private community one will win :)
 
I think we should close off and start charging in some form, get rid of a lot of the "how do I make money" and "How do I make 2 dollars a day from AC" threads.
 
I think the INVITE only is a decent idea. Keeps the "high class" forum feel.
 
No: Please keep BHW open to the public I like it the way it is.
 
Just close the forum to new members.
All others that have already an account here, should not pay.
 
I only found this forum (and the whole concept of blackhat) recently. I'd hate to be kicked out for nothing more than being late to the party, or locked out of higher level access by the old-guard network.

If I have to pay, I will, as long as it's not more than $10/month.

Many thanks to the unbelievably informative and creative posts so far! I've been reading for nearly a month now and still can't get enough!
 
The poll is over. What is the destination of our BHW community ?

My 0.02 is .. I rather hope that this forum will be maintain in a "manageable size" so that every members are contributing and giving back to this great community.
 
Close it off to only existing members, and also get rid of some of the newcomers. It seems this is growing into a DP , and thats the last thing we need. Half the newcomers dont read, they ask the same sh*t and dont take the time to look anything up anymore. I think we need to charge a monthly fee as you said before dave, keep exec vips exempt from payment, and vips access to 4 free months. still Allow individuals to donate which would exempt them again from monthly fees for 4 month periods. Afterall whats $9.00 a month that isnt anything......Even $20 would still be fair, considering most of us make hundreds a day.....


We need to keep this a close nit community, and save all our secrets from exploits....
 
You know that we have a lot of bad existing members?
And some new members look not that bad.

We just need more private sections and less public ones.

Thanks alot, That steals the words outta my mouth and i agree 100%. Its like JR VIP. and so forth. If we even had sections where we could have $9.00 a month or $20.00 a month memberships we would be able to view certain sections that others could not. And i think that would help to seperate new info and stuff thats hasnt been totally exploited seperate from other sh*t
