I think I speak for more than myself when I say that two of the
major issues we're concerned with is price and licensing.
Currently, one professional license gets you as many installations of W3T as you want or need under one domain name (
http://www.domain.com/forum1/,
http://www.domain.com/forum2/, etc). I think it is very important to maintain this policy, as many W3T admins have multiple installations of the forum on their one domain. Limiting to one install per license is most definitely
not going to increase sales. Users of the current version just won't upgrade, or they'll find something else.
Also, an increase on the $100/$200 license plus $50/year to maintain upgrades certainly wouldn't be welcomed. Not that the forum isn't worth ten times that, just that probably 90% of the license holders wouldn't be willing to pay a whole lot more for it, since there are so many forum options out there now in the $50-$200 range, now including Gossamer Forum. Personally, I don't see who on earth would buy UBB for $130 when W3T is available for only $70 more, and offers so many more features and is such a better program (IMO, of course []/testimages/icons/wink.gif[/]). While Ted mentioned that InfoPop will be re-evaluating their pricing, I hope before they introduce a new pricing theme for W3T, they consult the license holders.
I'm not asking for an answer now, but I am asking that you consider this point, and keep things at a personal level and see what the users might think of your proposed new licensing and pricing themes
before you introduce them and upset (and possibly alienate) hundreds of users of W3T.
