. Now, let's discuss. We're planning on creating "Project X" - a new community site which will be featuring various IDM/electronica artists and provide a lot of new contents. To make it possible we might need to invest in more webspace, bandwidth etc... This is where you come in. How would this work? Pay for membership? One time donation? Other suggestions? Tell us your thoughts... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think a one time membership would be totally acceptable....Count me in Phobia.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i personally probably wouldn't be willing to pay... theres lots of info on thenet, and no one site has anything exclusive enough to pay for... oh, and remember there are a lot of younger members without credit cards but then again.. advertising would suck too, so... i dunno |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmm, to be honest I'm only really mad about Aphex... I don't mind BoC and some other stuff, but I'm happy here... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont have money.............but i can sell my body |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would donate |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd be willing to donate....but how much? }:> |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe let people become members if they donate services? Like webdesign, programming skills, audio, news, whatever? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in the weekly pool I answered NO, but now I am not sure at all... you see I have not much money... but i like this site so much... depends on how much... but I am still not sure... i am sorry if i dissapointed anyone |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good in theory,but in practice....Not everyone has these abilities,and it could turn away punters rather than include them. }:> |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you've got a point there... but i think it would be sad to pay for a website... I pay enough for the music, i can't spare more money than that... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe a few dollars - just to help us out. I wouldn't dare to ask anyone for money really, but the situation may demand it. :-( More people - less money for each one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if its really a few dollars then its ok by me... its worth the effort... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm... not sure... are you offering a fulltime website? Because if i pay i'd like to see regular updates... I'm not paying for static... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well if its just a few bucks and everyone is contributing then i'd definitly consider it... but it would depend what ur offering... can u be more specific about that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well fuck off then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that was to whitehead, not aminal, who must have posted just as i was |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
real friendly there :) It's just as A Minal says, who will pay money without even knowing what is offered? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll donate some money/objects found on the floor/various meats/automobiles. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now don't get me wrong, i like it here, but i don't know if i'd be able to donate.. i don't have a credit card, my parents don't have credit cards. i suppose if it's just a couple dollars i could send a money order of something.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm in the same position as aron. And it'd really REALLY suck if you charged for membership =[ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FYI: I'm paying $$$ each month all alone to keep the site(s) alive. I just wanted to get a general feeling about your interests of the future for this site and if you were willing to contribue a small part of what I'm already doing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what does FYI means? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FYI= For your information I'd be willing to help out with some cash, but not too much... college really limits what I can do with my money. Your site is probably the ONLY site I'm willing to put money into, it's my favorite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe encorporate ads into the site, i'd click on five different ones every day if they were here, and i'd buy shit like movies from amazon links if you put them up. you get a lot of cash this way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would pay if it is not to much!! It is like a subscription to a good magazine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd pitch in all the money I've got Phobiazero! Count Me In! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd be willing to sell roses on a freeway off ramp for money for you !!!!!THE BARON HAS SPOKEN!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Phobiazero: I can donate money NO problem to be a part of Project X or to keep this site alive. Im all for it actually. I see no problems with it. Count me in 110% |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No one else???? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't spend a lot of time cruising around on the interent but when I'm on I'm usually here or at joyrex. at both sites I've had many interesting conversations and learned a lot about electronic music from both communities so being that I consider this time well spent I don't see a problem with paying a donation or a one time entry fee. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hell yes!!!-phob-have you had that record yet?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not yet my friend... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Since about 50% of you are not willing to make any kind of donations I could see a scenario where we'll have "Premium Memberships" and "Standard Memberships". More to come. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seing the ilusion that my MB friends are showing I feel I have no doubt now... I´d like to help |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd rather not have advertising, but I'd be willing to make a one-of payment of a few pounds if you could promise the site would be up for a few more years at least. On a side note, I'm in the same position as Jarwoski, I don't mind BoC etc. but I only really like AFX. Perhaps if you had a poll of how many people wanted "Project X" first and then asked if they wanted to pay for it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i´d pay - count on me ;A |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

What's Project X? |
||||||||
|
|

oh, wouldn't you like to know? ;) http://www.aphextwin.nu/mb/topic.php3?topic=7787&start=0&se ekwrd=&idxstart=0 |

Um, yes I would. What's all that jibberish you wrote? I don't speak Canadian |
||||||||

Thank you muchly Phoberoo |

hello phobia, hello all, we should discuss that openly. this issue has already killed many communities that got victims of their own success somehow... i fully understand phobias demand. so, there are different ways to raise money i think: - subscription - (one time) donations - affiliation programms - third party sponsorships - adbanners - sponored newsletter i think, we should open the community to some third party sponsorship: - why not having some record-labels or print-magazines presenting parts of the content? - why not offer a "shop" via the amazon affiliation programm? - why not set up a sponsored newsletter that will be sent to each member? on the other hand, i don't know if this will bring enough money... what do you think? .a |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds interesting... I guess I'd be willing to toss some dollar into the pot... I like the idea of a community supporting itself... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is the nicest "IDM" web site around, I'd be willing to donate |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the money idea wouldn't work. Yes some people would pay up but a majority of others (although this'll really depend on the cost) would probably not. the way this site works and works well is that it's free and brings together a collective of afx lovers across the world in a space they can call their own. BUT you have to realise that there are a lot of other IDM style sites around where the owner pays for the web space but leaves the site ad and fee free. It would have to be one dogs bollocks of a site for me to think of paying. sorry, just my opinion? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I've only just discovered this site and know little/nothing about how websites are set up, run and funded. Could someone fill me in. What kind of money has to be put into a site like this one. I would be willing to donate if it meant it was kept independent from any companies or advertisers. This kind of thing is refreshing precisely because it isn't corrupted by the corporate culture that dominates our society. Sorry if that sounds wanky but I love this because its people communicating without any profit involved or any compromises. Keep up the good work. |

Then again, maybe we could get Jamie Oliver on board. He'll even sell his own grandmother to raise a bit of cash |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Id defenitly pay, and Im sure that many of not all of the hardcore regulars would pay too. The Third Party idea is not bad either... just depends on which one really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its a toughy this one, needs a lot of thought i reckon, as a lot of sites have been killed off once money is required for the viewers presumably the main cost right now is hosting due to high bandwidth requirements..... why not ask around this community to see if anyone works/owns a hosting company or has a suitable server at free/discounted rates? you never know |
