Dynamic Freebies

History

By default, The Major BBS allowed you to define specific channel groups and sizes dedicated to all users or paying-only users. Unfortunately, the problem is that if no paying users were calling, you could be limiting exposure to "freeloaders" if the free channels were all full. This module solved that problem by making the availability of the system to freeloaders dynamic.

This module was only available for The Major BBS v5.x.

Module Information

This feature permits you to automatically adjust the number of non-paying users that can gain access to your system. The best way to describe this low cost feature is by way of example:

If your system had 8 lines you would only have 7 available for non-paying users and 1 line reserved for a paying user only. When a paying user logged on, the number of lines reserved for non-paying users is reduced to 6 and another port is reserved for a paying user. This continues until there are 7 paying users on the system and no non-paying users can log in; the last port is available only to a paying user.
