  1. Experiencing this in a dark room full of screaming and cheering people cemented to me the importance of both cinema theaters and aspirin.
  2. Edit: sorry for starting page 909 with a track that doesn't have a 909.
  3. lol at the idea, and that completely uneven eq made me repeatedly check there wasn't something else playing in another tab.
  4. Yeah, me neither : with that the entry-level site looks like with the ads and the overbloat, I wouldn't have joined; I probably wouldn't have even browsed unless in search of specific information . If this site wasn't indexed I'd be contributing more personally, sharing art and such, but I know it's not a common concern. Opting out of the google crawl is (probably?) cutting off a main entrypoint for newcomers. @Joyrex, would you agree to share with us some numbers? How much money is coming in from members? How much from ads? Do you have access to stats on how many users have elapsed subscriptions? It is possible to set up automated reminders? Thanks!
  5. I was curious of the actual numbers, and since I don't have access to the stats I just did like a normal person and counted by hand who was online today: I never pay attention to ranks and such. Tallying the accounts, I noticed that some of the higher paying contributors are people I've never heard of (some are full-on lurkers, hi!) while many users whose posts I enjoy on a regular basis are free members. I've also realized how a bunch are small labels and artists and how it'd be conterproductive to have them pay or shoo them away from sharing their upcoming releases โ€” a main reason I frequent this very forum. Out of 215 users with accounts, 119 have bought a paid subscription; that's more than half. Today, we had : 20 supporting members (3$/year) = 60 $ 35 members plus (5$/year) = 175 $ 48 knob twiddlers (10$/year) = 480 $ 16 expert knob twiddlers (20$/year) = 320 $ Assuming the 8 admins who were online aren't spending anything else than time and patience, that amounts to 1035 bucks. That's just out of the people who where here today. There are 27 times more registered users than that. So if the hosting+software fees amount to the yearly 1200$, it seems like an ad-less, open community is pretty doable? We just need an automatic reminder to pay the bills.
  6. 100% behind this. What I'm curious is: are the ads bringing in proper revenue, or are they meant to bog down the non-subscriber experience?
  7. My first thought : wait, I'm already paying for watmming without ads. ...unless my subscription has expired once again without notifiying me? And, would you look at that, I just went in to check and yes, it had indeed relapsed. That's an issue right there: people like me, who can afford to throw in some money in the hat and already did so, but don't renew because they're not actively reminded once they're due. Surely an automated reminder โ€” email or notification โ€” could be set up? lol
  8. beaten to the punch!
