Yeah, but since I don't have a visa and I've lost my "nettbank-login" I can't tranfer it online, so I sent him the money by mail. Hopefully it will arrive safely one of the next days!

you really think that?!? I can think of a few more who stopped donating because of Nacmat's reason. I totally agree with him, whether it is about a 'lack of knowledge' or not, what the hell! I thought we would see an interesting site after all, but now we even have banners. And still a messageboard with loads of crap on it (and lousy moderation). The disco is nice, the threads with some decent music discussions are good, but that's it. there are plenty of alternatives who are free, and without a lot of shit chat on it.
ok, i've rambled on way too long again...... funny like that

There should either be a donate button and NO adverts or NO donate button and adverts. I didn't know this place was a profit making organisation. Everytime someone questions Phobz all he seems to do is spit out the dummy and threaten to close the site. It would be a shame if he did but i for one could live without it.

spend money to make money- economically sound fact.
Perhaps nacmat has subconsiously stumbled on a point. A more expensive XLT will mean greater profits.

I understand what you feel about the lack of really noticeable new features on the site, but as someone said it already, I think that even when the site is here, you'll spend 95% of time on the messageboard and simply 5% on the other site features.
I don't think that Phobia is cheating us and makes money with this site, and now I just want become a premium member to be greateful for the past two years of fun I had on the board and the other years I'm sure I'll enjoy on the board til now.

The ability to have "shit chat" is overall what keeps the regulars coming back. Face it.. there are not enough solid releases to keep continual music threads occuring. We enjoy chatting with people that have similar tastes.
The basic fact that members are allowed to have such freedoms and that moderators encourage it makes members overall feel more comfortable.
When you feel comfortable you feel more apt to come back more often. That alone helps to pay for the site. Non regulars tend to not donate. Those guys in bold red on the user list are the guys that both donate and have the status "addict".
I think you see where i am going with this

If people don't think the forum is worth $10, then you are silly.
I love this place and would be sad to see it go, I think most people around feel that way too.
I have already donated my $10, but i will chuck $5 more in the pot in December.

i tried donating a bit ago, but paypal fuxed me and used a bank account i recently closed instead of my live account. and of course phobz didn't get my 10$ which wasn't in the bank account because it didn't exist.
but, i'm gonna donate. seriously. it's definitely worth the monthly $0.833333333333333333--->

It is free, but surely web hosting cost something?
Also coding a website and putting it online takes a lot of time, time that could be spent more productively if it isn't appreciated.

But it isn't like he owes you anything.
I personally am happy with it being a messageboard. I cannot see myself paying too much attention to the rest of the site when it is finished.
The board is the reason I donate, not for anything else.

totally agree
he doesnt owe me aything
if 3 years ago he had said: "this place will only be a messageboard for the next 3 years, anyway donations are welcome" that would have been ok
but he promissed a site that would be up and functioning by august 2002.
I think this is his place... he doesnt owe us anything... but he lots of times asked for money to keep this alive and feeding the hope of a near future excellent website
too much time has passed already
(this same thing goes for watmm, I am really dissapointed with both places)

I like you dude, but i don't agree with your opinion on this one iota.
People have lives to get on with, people have daily jobs, etc. But if the place isn't really making much money, which even with those annoying adverts i don't think it is, the money to pay for it has to come from somewhere.
If I had a website that was used by hundreds of people, if it wasn't making money I wouldn't think twice about asking people to chip in to keep it running.
I understand if people can't afford it, but if they can then I don't see why they shouldn't donate to keep a place alive.
$10 per year per member is fuck all really, considering how much people on the board spend on music per year. I used to spend around £5000 per year on music, $10 is a drop in the ocean.
