In all honesty?
It would be "clique-ish" in nature.
It would exclude those who can't or won't pay.
That's just my take based on similar discussions with mods/owners in the past.
And the problem with that would be what, exactly?
Is your internet provider "clique-ish?"
I think (now this is my opinion, not the opinion of the owners or mods) that they really try to avoid a clannish nature. They do try to be equal in everything. Non-partisan so-to-speak.
This would be exclusionary.
I'd agree that they probably wouldn't want something so exclusionary. Which is why I'm actually liking my idea/interpretation of a chan/chat for long term members. Not to be exclusive, but just as an added side distraction for non critical site/vent stuff.

But remember, long term members would include people like me. And you do not want a more uncensored version of me. Or people worse than me. I can think if at least 3 people worse than me. And that includes me!
Any questions?

You have way to high of an opinion of yourself. Have you ever been on a chan?
Makes my sick ass uncomfortable(rarely), but still.....

It might retain members who otherwise would get banned for expressing themselves in the heat of the moment.

I have no idea what a chan is. I'm from old Internet. I like old Internet stuff.
Remember IRC? I do.

Are you referring to the time I defended Bill Cosby?
Because I was drunk. I'm not drunk anymore. I'm stoned. But it's legal now. I think.

I think OP tapped out, which confirms my initial thought this was a thread that erupted from a night of early(real early) drinking.
Still fun though, we should all do this more often....
