Guest pulsewarrior Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 joyrex, is it that you can't afford to pay the 50/mo or you just don't want to/feel it should be paid by the members ? man i find it hard to believe that with all these fuckers here $50/mo can't be met.

Jaffa Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 why not introduce a barometer showing members how much has been donated each month on the front page? Just, so like, people can know how much to donate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(as a subforum of the Squarepusher forum) I don't understand your anti Ceephax sub forum stand. You made a football sub forum based on popularity , well... Ceephax is fucking popular amongst watmmers , plus he is fucking awesome No doubt Ceephax is awesome, but compared to Tom, he just doesn't have the musical pedigree/background/history that Tom does. *cough* mu-ziq *cough* I will donate if you make a Ceephax subforum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blir Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Apologies for not donating in a while Joyrex. Money's been tight this year, new home situation blah blah. I would not oppose charging for new accounts, might increase member quality. Then we can break down the Great LTM Wall of WATMM and all live in harmony again. Then ban derp, Maximus Mischief, Craig Anderson, Oscillik, Abusive George, T35513R, Obel, Chassis, Squee, Spratters, Hautlle, Yegg, Wallie Whale, Beno, Jswift HURURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR But seriously, I was being serious upto that last bit.

Joyrex Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 joyrex, is it that you can't afford to pay the 50/mo or you just don't want to/feel it should be paid by the members ? man i find it hard to believe that with all these fuckers here $50/mo can't be met. It's a combination - I paid fully for years, never asking for donations, etc. Until the costs became such that I couldn't realistically afford to shell out 50+ a month continuously, so someone suggested I ask for donations, and the rest is history. I also feel that if people are benefiting from the site (through usage or a subscription), then asking for help in keeping the lights on isn't out of the ordinary. I will donate if you make a Ceephax subforum How about a Ceephax sub-sub forum? (as a subforum of the Squarepusher forum) I don't understand your anti Ceephax sub forum stand.

sneaksta303 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 i don't know if this has been said, but maybe if you stop buying you vidya games for 2 weeks, you'd have a couple months hosting fees. Dont blame this shit on us. This is PATHETIC. In other words, this is YOUR site. Make up the difference yourself or cancel it, and watch us all come to Canada to find ya. *gets ready for retort because joyrex doesnt like me* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redruth Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Joy Rex + Chaosmachine why not create a sub-forum that includes a secondary selection of subtopics consisting of 20 or top 50 or top 100 of watmm's most talked about artists? that way you would not need to disrupt the sanctity of the 'WATMM Featured Artists' and we could still have a bunch of additional places to talk about other specific producers (like clark)! also that would create the opportunity to add select elite artists (like clark) to the WATMM Featured Artists slowly and then ones that are harder to decide on could go in the extended sub-forum and it would be a sort of trial run for artists to then possibly graduate to the WATMM Featured Artists depending on how much traffic their pre- WATMM Featured Artists sub-form received. just an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugene Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I'm still in favor of charging for new accounts. die, you internet marketing genius. Would people pay for dupe accounts? I think they would it'd probably be our #1 source of income. lol, how about an option of upgrading pleb accounts to LTM for cash ² yeah, but in all seriousness this is really pathetic, you can't split 50 bucks a month with a couple of mods or something ? work an extra two or three hours or so ? this is sort of a lifetime project of yours after all..

eugene Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 another great idea would be selling watmm's popular demands, for example: banning tht_tne/troon - 30/185$, unbanning lion/theo 50/40$, exclusive time limited rights for posting in LTM and so on..don't try to force donations, make them come out of the community more willingly and naturally i would gladly pay a couple of bucks for lion's return but i really don't see myself paying for you inability to pirate video games.

Blir Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 This is good, we sponsor WATMM on a regular basis, then you stop throwing tantrums at people and banning them because it's "YOUR SITE"? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murve33 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I upgraded to Members Plus, Joy Rex. Can I have a Venetian Snares Subforum. Ho'h Wait! You could like, hold a drive. And it'd be like, raise $100 collectively and I'll make a Vsnares or Ceephax sub-forum. In all seriousness, I think that could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 I'm not really down for 'buying' forums and bannings, etc. - then it becomes a case of the haves vs. the have-nots, where I have always seen the internet as a great equalizer of that paradigm. The biggest issue I have with giving a subforum to Clark/Ceephax/Snares/DMX Krew, et al are where does it stop? Why does Snares get a subforum when LFO doesn't? People still give me hell about Cylob and µ-Ziq (and to some extent, Plaid) to this day - I really don't want that (plus demands for other subforums) multiplied. That, and it also wouldn't fit into my overall plan for WATMM (the site) with the content for the Featured Artists, etc. It would make an already daunting task even more scary. Y'know, I was joking with the title of this thread, but perhaps semi-annual pledge drives like Public Radio and Television do would be a good way to keep the monetary flow consistent (have a monetary goal for the year that covers hosting plus software licenses, and have a week where we solicit donations and possibly offer 'gifts' in exchange for certain monetary pledges... JOYREX. Theo will buy watmm and assume hosting fees for 500$. Will you do it? Theo can suck my dick for 500.00, and he better damn swallow.
