Im in this for pretty long term, im gonna see how it works out and if i make a profit from it! If i make even the slightest profit i will keep site running! It all depends on donations, and advertising deals!


Remember that as I get more users, i will be upping the required post count!

The problem i see with donating is that there are no benfits, yes you may get a VIP forum but is it really that exciting.

I mean to be hinest why would people donate $10 when you may aswell buy a domain for that much and not have to worry about forum posting?

Why do people donate to any site them? People donate to help support the free service we give to people! We are using our money to help the community!

Certain sites have a reason to donate to.

This site offers a free domain, and that is all, yes there is a forum where you can have discussions with others, but i would much prefer to go join a bigger community dedicated to a forum with loats of different categorys and plenty of members (which i already do).

I will take for example a unofficial West Ham site which provides news, forum and much more, now that site offers me alot of infomation and can get very busy, so i would be willing to donate to help keep the site alive and for the great service it provides.

But as for here, it offers no more than a domain to me, which i could buy elsewhere, but im being cheap at the moment :P

Dont get me wrong, im not knocking this site or the forum or the idea etc, just sharing my views.

I hope im proved wrong and people do donate, but im not exactly willing to do so as it offers me nothing more than somewhere else does or something which i couldnt pay for elsewhere at a cheaper cost if you understand what i mean.

I completely understand your point! The thing is that as the site grows bigger, and more members start requesting domains, I cant be losing money! I put many hours a day into the site, and there would no point in keeping the site up if I start to lose money!

Most sites need the donations, because they provide free services such as this one!

Thanks

I'm sure theres a cost to giving out domains, and therfore he needs the cash to make up for whatever is lost in the long term

Exactly and therefore the costs are needed to be made up

I see your point.

And as i said i hope this site does succeed and there are people willing to donate.

I wouldnt be here if it wasnt of some use, and im sure it wont be till a little while down the line to see how successful this will be.

Anyway think this has been well and truly covered now, so i say no more.
