It doesn't look like they will launch the fall 2016 promo again this year probably because of the issues with support and the system they had for a couple of months. They did gain a huge amount of customers, but that frustration sort of holding them back when they think about launching it again. They did launch an exclusive promo similar to the fall 2016 promo but limited to FM customers only. It seemed like a good idea to lower the new activation compared to many non limited activations at once. Later on, that battle did not turn out so well.

 

So i am thinking, if they really want to launch a hot promo like the fall promo but at the same time limit the new activation to keep the pace slow, how about launching similar plan for a few months exclusive to community members with some amount of post or bravos. Based on their activities, they can manually offer the plan. This will bring some new community members who will engage with others and potentially help others. We can all agree that so far 2017 was unpleasant and did not deliver what we all hoped for. They need a boost as of now to convince us the future it holds.

I agree throwing us a 1GB bone is not going to cut it PM.

Interesting idea, just one drawback I can maybe see with this is the spam that it could cause

Good idea! They should definitely reward loyal customers that unfortunately missed out on last years promo

Interesting idea.   Maybe to counter the risk of increased spam, PM could also require a minimum but reasonable number of accepted solutions (not marked by oneself) to go along with posts/bravos within a defined period, as solutions tend to be higher quality posts.

@xCameron94x Yes, i did think about that. Since the plan will be applied manually, may be by mods, they will have to determine from their post/bravo history. Oracles and other regular members are here to keep an eye on new comers. So, i don't think this would be an issue.
