This is a bit of a followup to the 'wasted membership money' thread. I was just thinking, maybe xltronic could get some advertisers. Any company would be happy to advertise on the MB page, as it always has people on it. That's just a little suggestion from myself. Anyone else got any good ideas that could help along the xltronic money situation? |

membership should be raised to 50$ per year. |

I was surprised to see Phobs post about $1200 a year. What makes this site so expensive? Is there something we can live without? Old threads? The soundclips in the discog? If the discography is going to be as big as I think, the size of XLT will increase drastically? |
||||||||

|
the whole right side of this page looks like allot of empty banner space eh.. eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the high amount of money is probably because of the vibes. normally, when you rent a server, you get bandwidth restriction, and if you exceed that, you have to pay more money. you also pay for space, and there are 11 or so vibes hosted on the server... |

He wouldn't probably run this site anyway if he had to pay $1200 out of his own pocket just for THIS SITE. He's employer probably pays some of the hosting cause it's connected to his work somehow... or he hosts some other sites which pay him for the hosting... At least that's how it usually is :P I personally hate advertisments and I'm fucking fed up with these shitty banners flashing everywhere. Xltronic.com is one of the sites that has stayed clean of this shit. |

o.k fair enough. I was however thinking of advertisers that would interest xltronic members. For example adverts advertising a new artist hosting site. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
no man, that would be selling out... we can't give in to capitalism!! |
||||||||
|

|
|
boo for advertisements! I like the way it is, I am happy with donating (although it only covers a very small cost). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the best one would be if more people paid. it's only $10. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well I don't think members are going to be donating for long. When you look at the progress over the last 2 or so years there isn't going to be much incentive to donate anymore. There has to be other areas of income, not just donations. |

Have Phob said anything about how many Premier Members XLT has? |

He's employer probably pays some of the hosting cause it's connected to his work somehow... or he hosts some other sites which pay him for the hosting... At least that's how it usually is :P I am paying for this site all alone from my own pocket - and it has not anything to do with my work. It's a dedicated server with a fixed monthly fee of $100 (not including the domain costs). |

lets do a vote |

[x] ok |

How about... 1. Every member get to sign up free 2. Every member gets 100 free posts before they must pay $5 for a years unlimited posting capability. 3.Members who pay $10 will get the picture posting and record bag use. Also the gallery & xlt vibes/videos should only be accessible to registered users. |
||||||||

|
|
please god, no advertisements. sheesh, if you like coming to the mb, how hard is it to fork over the $10? what is that - one less record you buy? |
||||||||
|

|

i think it's up to phobiazero, guyyssssssss. |
||||||||
|

I think if you put up advertisments, actually less people will want to donate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah one thing I like about donating cause that's the only money this site gets. Also... if you don't like the forum why do you visit? I am looking forward to the site, but I really don't mind paying $10 for the forum alone. It's so clean and nice, and with nice people. |

Sell every member's email address to spammers, or at least the addresses of members who have received a B7. |

How about every member that wants to pay a nice amount, can advertise their music (banners) supporting independent music. It would raise a bit more and liven up the right side of the screen, and let people see good music (or someone who pays $50 music) (our music).. without getting fucked up the ass horizontly with a the MRSA bug. Im not talking about shitty banners flashing viagra at you. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
how about not |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
well a tleast I make a contribution to the discussion, not some wise arse comment |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the eyes at the top of the screen look shit as (evrybody has their opinion) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
you'rre rright a big ADVERRT would look much betterr in it's place. |

What drives you to be so dedicated enough to do this? Especially when you see some much trolling and nonsense on the board? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a nice fat advert on the side. I wouldn't care to be honest. As long as it means more money for xlt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who said a fat one, a few ikkle chic ones |
||||||||
|
|

If I were Phob I would have pulled the plug on this a while ago. I mean $10 isnt much.....you cheapskates who haven't paid, are just freeloaders! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes stop freeloading on that oxygen, give me a fiver |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I still think the idea of having cash targets to achieve certain goals, they could be like the polls. You could have a montly target of the hosting fee ($100 or whatever) and then they'll remove the eyes at the top of the page (I've already designed a header without eyes, you can just slip it in) or ummm, Phobia can give away a record..... or something. |
||||||||

sorry your highness, jedi |
||||||||
|

|

How many actually pay the $10 Phob? Whats the number? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how about we all make a really good track. All the tracks get put onto a compilation CD. The CD will not be up for download. The only way to get the CD will be through paying for it. Say $10 - $20? I know that I would buy it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How about we set up a rent scheme where members can go out on the streets for Xlt, a few blown old men, give 50% profits to xlt (including wet tissues) and keep the other 50% for mental health treatment. Saved I think I like the idea of a Cd now ^^ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really i'm gonna donate soon |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how about you just cough up the 10 bucks in the first place. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
let's rob a bank |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I will but I don't think just a simple donation from the odd person every so often is going to do much for the financial situation |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He'd only need about 120 of us to pay, and thats all his costs covered. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
120 of us every year? Phobes already said he has to pay $1200 every year out of his own pocket. |
