Happy Wanderer Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 I'm only 'airing' comments that have been put directly to me. Some want the forums to be members. Others have said make it a subscription site as this would keep the 'unwanted' people away and stop them from posting drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Wanderer Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 CAN GUESTS VOTE ON THE ABOVE THANG? No. If a membership fee is introduced what happens with the dosh? Goes in the pot as I've said countless times. If those sponsoring the site pull out, how would the site continue. If you're wonding about donations made, especially regarding my last attempt. Only one person sent a donation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're wonding about donations made, especially regarding my last attempt. Only one person sent a donation. not sure on the compulsory fee, i know it costs to run the site perhaps those who want access to the itk section should be those who pay a fee. Personally i can see the compulsory fee putting us off new members, and some might see this as a good thing, for every natasha (who's scarily long posts have created long posts but non of it of any value!) there is a sluffy (who's scarily long posts have created some decent discussion and remeniscing). As for donations i have no access to paypal and i guess neither do many others. but if the sponsors were to pull out i know most posters would dip into their pockets to send the necessary cash!

bristolwhite Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I voted to allow guests,and for the forum to be free for all,I think if you made it subscription only the number of people who use the boards will fall dramatically therefore affecting the current sponsorship deals. If people post drivel you already have the means to ban them anyway so no problem there,As for donations it is dissapointing that only one person has been bothered to cough up but as someone else just said not everyone can be arsed with paypal. If happy can supply me with the provisions for sending a cheque i will do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter HomerJay Posted September 11, 2006 Site Supporter Share Posted September 11, 2006 when somebody at work requires sponsering they get a sponser sheet, but the problem nobody wants to put their name down 1st because they dont want to set the precident for the kind of money being sponsered. my point being happy, maybe if you released to the world the actual running costs of the site and released (by permission of donator) the amount donated then people would be persuaded to donate. rememeber no matter what we say, most people are really quite shallow and would basque in the glory of there name was in a 'hall of fame' for donations. making people pay a subscription will kill the site imo. theres my two penneth anyway.

YATESY Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Allow guests - every so often we get really good banter on here from fans of other teams. Sometimes this is overkill (WHU last season) but either way, it is good to share thoughts with 'the others'! Keep it free - I for one would not pay a subscription fee. I enjoy popping on here every so often for a read and a post (amazing how you can tot up 800+ in less than a year!) but I would not pay for the privilege. I think the control of those who post has to come from the moderators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aloverofbeer Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I wouldn't come back on the site at all if I had to pay for the privelige. There are plenty others out there. I don't see that this site has any unique feutures that would be worth five or ten pounds a year to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Wanderer Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 surely the Golden Goal game is effectively a donation ? Yes you are correct it is one form of donation and I omitted that fact sorry. If we had 90 players (which it needs) it would be a significant donation.

Perhaps repost golden goal to get more people - even I had forgotten we had it until Carlos told me he won it on Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
