There should be a lower level for those who don't use them all so nothing is wasted. I only want the features of:

No ads
~30 games is enough
~4 mini-tournaments is good enough
Faster page loading
Access to all your past games/Download PGN archives
Postpone your games for up to 30 days and use up to 120 vacation days per year total
Automatic emergency postponement protection
Unlimited access to Chess Tactics
The ability not to count as one of the limited free players on a team
Unlimited access to game database
Just team forums posting. I don't care about clubs.

I agree with whatever was just deleted. I don't know what it said.

Makes two of us   Perhaps individual features could be purchased separately or bought at a bulk discount rate. Just a humble suggestion

I'd like extra features too, but in order for it to be worthwhile for Gameknot to implement them, they would really need to see that a lot of other players would want them.

Just as an example: say someone wanted a higher level of membership where they could have more than 200 games simultaneously... they would probably want in vain: the number of players who play 190+ games is very small.

As for being able to purchase individual features, that would be great! I can get a 100 analyses a month, and it's nowhere near enough!  
If only there was a way I could get another 100 (or 200) on top of that!  

I think individual features, even if Gameknot were willing to do that would (necessarily) be quite expensive: the amount of effort involved, how disruptive it would be, how many players would benefit, how long would it take GK to recoup the costs of implementing it etc.

It would be nice to know now and then if GK had anything in the pipeline ?
Just to let me know they still hanging around 😋

120 vacation days per year total ... only useful if you plan to go to jail or annoy your fellow players ... should max out at 1 month per year imo ...
