Donations

Jeff · 02-29-2008

I know this forum is new and I haven't a clue what it takes (monetarily) to keep a forum like this running. With that said, will you be accepting donations anytime in the near future?

Fenway · 02-29-2008

Hey thanks for asking. I bought the forum software a while ago and to host it costs me $10/ month. I don't mind paying it. In the future when the site gets more established I might offer some banner advertising to help with paying the bills. But right now it's no problem. I hope you enjoy the site. Tell your friend about it!

I wouldn't mind kicking in if and when the time comes.

Perhaps NOW is the time. It would GREATLY help you cover the costs of the hats and the uppage in Internet fees.

It would be simple too. Just put up a paypal link and also a P.O. box address.

If you cover your costs and have extras, then you can expand into Ingunowner mouse pads, pens, etc. And then use those items as promotionals for the site.

You already have the infrastructure from the hat sales, just put up a couple of links on the home page to the forum!

Don't make us start a thread about how to send you money via that infrastructure without your consent. We will!

That is very kind of you... Thanks! Please give me a little while to set some things up in terms of donations. I really like GlockTalk but I don't want something similar to happen here where we start having fund raisers and give away memberships and then a month later it's something new.

Now this place is obviously no where near the size of GlockTalk

But as we expand the hosting is going to keep going up. I don't mind paying for it out of my own pocket right now. I started this site because I wanted to and I'm thrilled with the turn out. But eventually it would be nice if I can make some money to cover expenses. I'm hoping banner advertising might do it. Maybe people would like to pay $10 / month or so to reach a bunch of Hoosier gun owners. We will see.

Ouch, that's kinda harsh.

Better than having none at all, I guess....

Didn't look at it that way.
