RTB Premium Service
Chrono:
That IS the idea.
Ephialtes:
I think I've pretty much discarded the idea of a monthly fee - it doesn't seem worth all the work involved in getting something like that setup and I don't think there are many people who would be inclined/able to use it.
Some people have suggested just scrapping the idea and making a donation option. I'm not a huge fan of donations - donations should be for when someone needs the money and I certainly don't. I want people to feel they're getting value out of RTB Premium if they pay for it.
Other people seem to be misinterpreting some of the benefits of RTB Premium so I'm going to try and clarify real quick.
1. You will be able to store up to 1GB of saves/screenshots within the save repository feature. If you want extra space and the ability to save revisions of your saves, you need to get RTB Premium.
2. Chat rooms on the RTB Connect service would probably be limited to paying users. The main reason for this is that I want to keep the number of rooms to a minimum - otherwise we see a situation where there are 1000 users online all sitting in their own rooms and you don't get the sort of "rise" in popular rooms that you would get if rooms were harder to make.
3. Extra credits for the RTB API (when it's up) could be obtained through RTB Premium.
4. Everything else RTB provides will be free, as usual.

I think you should set a download limitation, like 15 - 20 downloads a day(or week(would be 50downloads a week))(working with IPs); unlimited for premium.
A download speed limit.. Premiums have the priority,
Captcha for non premiums(would be a bit like.. megaupload. So I think that's a bad idea, but I'm just giving you ideas),
and countdown before downloading.. like 10-20seconds.(same, megaupload but this is a better idea than captcha)

Why in the hell would you ever suggest such terrible ideas?

Yeah basically, I dunno whenever I see Premium on websites kind of ticks me off. Usually means you HAVE to fork out just for a better service or even a usable service. Just my interpretation of the use of the word.
I'd say right on but could this service also include a kind of Add-on approval faster system, still waiting for my new map to be approved for 2 days now :(
