lollipopgirl83 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Yipes...I guess I never really realized how much it would cost. If it came to it, I would donate...for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babspanky Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Good idea... Hmmmmm... quiet time... how about when the Aussies are on? Kidding of course... Someone else said it, but a blog would be cool... Damn it! That's where it went! Well you may have the invisibility cloak, but I have the Marauder's map! Which means I know where everyone is! People seem to be invisible everywhere... I know people can be invisible here (usually me though)... either that or people in Orange are incredibly selfish... Now that Mika and Jerry own the site, I'm sure they don't need help with donations... But seeing as I love this place so much, I may still donate... I'm going to wait and see how the land lies. I like it here, and typically I've been donating £5 a month or something which is not much, but if we all did it... But now I'm not sure, I mean those guys have way more money than me, so I'll wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kath Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 It is undoubtably expensive to run a site like this and over the last year it has been run very well. Personally, I am all in favour of there being a fee, not too expensive so as to put it out of the reach of some people but a fee of some sort. I think it would dramaticaly reduce, if not completely eradicate, people who just sign up, for whatever reason, but are then not active at all. Over the last year I am sure that the total that I have donated would be more than I would have paid if there had been a set fee, but I spend a lot of time on here and so considered it worth it. I have apreciated what has generally been an excelent service. However, I would be more comfortable with a set fee, that way I would know what I needed to pay, rather than just guessing.

That would be a good reason for a fee. I find it very confusing with all this names on a members list, there so many people signed in and I would say at least half of them have never made one single post.

And how are you coping with all the pressure? I think that not saying anything until there is 100% proof is a much better idea. And certainly more professional. I mean that in a nice way, btw.. There'll be alot less backlash on you and the Mods now. As long as you say the time zone after (eg... UK time/New york time etc) then I'm happy..., that means I'll be able to find out when in aussie time Looking forward to the announcement, I agree. Knowing the timezone helps everyone, as us Aussie's are staying up until the wee hours hoping to be online when it's posted..

Good idea....also existing members would need to pay, eradicating the exisiting members who dont post...I think our member post would more than half if we bought in a "if you dont pay within 2 weeks of when you're supposed to then you get banned" kinda thing, because if they dont post they wouldnt exactly notice if they get banned, if you know what I mean...???
