So this Thursday I'm planning on upgrading cbox to premium, which means that I'll be paying $6-12, not really sure yet.
Just checked, $6 for a 3 month upgrade. I'll be picking that for the test run, see how it fans out. This will be coming from my paycheck, so I'll be helping set the rules for this.
What we get:
High capacity
Ease of use
The Premium Cbox stores a backup copy of every message posted, for at least 3 months. You can download your archives at any time to keep a permanent record of the discussion on your Cbox.
One-click deletes & bans
Ad-free
Cbox supports HTML-like tags that allow you to add formatting to your messages (italics, bold, underline, colour, etc.), similar to the formatting allowed by popular bulletin board systems. Note that regular HTML is disabled because of its security risk.
Autolinking
Smart automatic linking of web addresses found in messages. Can also replace long addresses with tidier links.
Avatars
Give your guests the option of having an avatar image associated with their name. It couldn't be easier to use – just paste the address of an image instead of an email or website address when posting a message.
Dynamic autorefresh
Autorefresh facilitates live chat by automatically refreshing your Cbox as new posts are made. The rate of autorefresh is dynamically adjusted to the rate at which new messages are being posted.
Sound notification
The Premium Cbox has optional sound effect notification of new messages, to complement the autorefresh. This way, users don't have to remain on the page in order to know when new messages are posted.
Attack resistant
The Basic Cbox blocks potentially dangerous HTML from being posted, and allows you to ban a limited number of disruptive users. The Premium Cbox has, in addition, the ability to auto-ban spammers, and there is no limit on the number of bans.
"Who's Online" display
See at a glance who is viewing and who is chatting on your Cbox with the onliner counter.
Advanced style editing
The Basic Cbox comes with an excellent point-and-click style editor for altering the look of your Cbox. The Premium Cbox gives you full control over the CSS, allowing for infinite control over the design.
Custom word filter
The Basic Cbox has a simple built-in profanity filter, but the Premium Cbox allows you to define custom word substitutions – a powerful tool for extending your censor, creating aliases, adding your own boxCode tags, etc.
Password-protected names & moderators
Allow your users to password-protect their names on your Cbox, so that they are protected from impersonation. You can also create moderator accounts – moderators can delete and ban from within your Cbox but cannot log in to your control panel.
User integration
Got your own forum or CMS with its own user account system? You would probably find it convenient to have Cbox work with this userbase, so that your users do not have to re-enter or separately register their names on your Cbox. With the Premium Cbox you can do just this – integrate Cbox with your own userbase!
Unlimited smilies
Choose from one of our default smilie sets, or add your own smilie images to liven up your Cbox.
Feature-packed control panel
Almost everything about your Cbox is customizable from within the easy-to-use control panel.
Quick help & support
Nice huh? I think this is how it goes for the admin/mod thing.
Me and Kat will be the admins, as she helped you create this site Ella and I trust her highly. I am the other admin because I am paying for it. Ella will be the mod.
Don't take that offensive Ella, you will be here to help us decide whatever new things may happen, of course. You did create this site and I'm not forgetting that.
For now that will stay, though I'm sure we'll have new mods sooner or later.
