Membership

Post by Wolf79 »

Hey!

I couldn't find recent topics of phpBB memberships. What is the best and most versatile membership plugin nowadays. First our forum is going to be free but someday chargeable. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

you need to do a search in the extensions forums here.
I do not remember any membership extensions since extensions started but I could be wrong.

you could also search around the web for membership scripts that would be compatible with phpBB3

luck,

Sooo it's not so common to build paid forums with phpBB?

Concentrate on just getting the forum going first. You might not even get to the point of paid membership for 2-3 years. By far the hardest thing is just getting to 10 members.

Paid membership is tricky. If what they are paying for can be found elsewhere for free, then no it won't work.

Hey, any news about paid memberships? We would want to monetize our forum one day but how it could be done?

or, if you don’t find anything that suits your purpose make an extension request.

You can create different groups called VIP or Premium or different. You set special permissions and abilities that will not be available to other members. Then you sell them. They send you money. Then they want to join the group. Like.

If you say you can't deal with one by one, there is an extension like this:

but it is not updated anymore.
