Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 Say Invision Power Board wanted to charge all of it's site users, and members, fees to use the forum, put aside for a second how much money they would make from it if everyone did, but would you pay it?
Art Sandusky Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 The servers would implode from the volume of people running away.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 well it's a dumb idea for a thread but I'd pay but not for THIS board.
Downhome Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 well it's a dumb idea for a thread but I'd pay but not for THIS board. Same here. I'd pay for DVDTalk maybe, and maybe StraightDope.
The Kid Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 Yeah right, I'd pack my bag and head for the hills.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 i wouldn't pay for any current board. they all are going through a bad time.
Zack Malibu Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 I'd just talk to my friends from here/WDI on AIM.
The Kid Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 I wish I was one your friends Preppy. Group hug?
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 My life would probably be enriched were I to never speak to any of you again. Then again, I smoke too, so it's not like I make the best decisions for myself. I wouldn't pay to post here, though. Unless I can absorb nicotine from it somehow, then maybe.
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 I'd pay 15 bucks a month.
Nighthawk Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 I'd pay any price. Ask me again when I actually had to cough up the money, my answer would be no.
Nevermortal Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 Don't you have to pay for the Invision Board software & a license anyway?
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 Yes but the end users like you or I don't have to pay for it. that's the hypothetical that he's throwing out there
sfaJack Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 I don't post much now and it's free, so it's very doubtful that I'd pay to post.
Slayer Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 Fuck that, I should be getting paid to contribute my GREATNESS~! to this board
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 Well, I already contribute financially to two different basketball forums, so the idea's hardly alien to me. But, pay for this site? Probably not.
MrRant Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 Invision Board is free if you leave the copyright. You have to pay to remove that Copyright down at the bottom though.
Guest T®ITEC Posted May 9, 2004 Report Posted May 9, 2004 Not a chance. The only website I've ever contributed money to was Red Vs. Blue, and that was just for the DVD. Is TSM gonna give me a DVD of their content?
Ace309 Posted May 9, 2004 Report Posted May 9, 2004 I paid the $4.95 charter rate for the Straight Dope Message Board, because that board is a fountain of useful information and intelligent debate. This board? No.
Steviekick Posted May 9, 2004 Report Posted May 9, 2004 I propably wouldn't pay to be a part of any board. But if TSM was to wind up closing, I do see there being smaller free boards popping up with members of TSM calling it their own, kinda like UGS.
DerangedHermit Posted May 9, 2004 Report Posted May 9, 2004 Hell no. If I'm not doing it for SA, I definitely ain't doing it here. This board is good - not "paying lots of money" good, though.
Cuban Linx Posted May 9, 2004 Report Posted May 9, 2004 No way i pay for any message board, i like it here but if i had to pay i'd move on and never look back.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted May 9, 2004 Report Posted May 9, 2004 Invision Board is free if you leave the copyright. You have to pay to remove that Copyright down at the bottom though. thats stupid. How many peoiple scroll all the way down there to see that, and what would be the benefit of removing it?
Bruiser Chong Posted May 9, 2004 Report Posted May 9, 2004 Hell no. Good thing no one has to pay for this board. Well, everyone not named "Dames" that is.
Guest Choken One Posted May 9, 2004 Report Posted May 9, 2004 I'd give my life savings to perserve this place.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted May 9, 2004 Report Posted May 9, 2004 I propably wouldn't pay to be a part of any board. But if TSM was to wind up closing, I do see there being smaller free boards popping up with members of TSM calling it their own, kinda like UGS. INdeed. that is the master plan...
Cran Da Maniac Posted May 9, 2004 Report Posted May 9, 2004 I'd abandon this place cuz I'm a cheap bastard.
Steviekick Posted May 9, 2004 Report Posted May 9, 2004 I propably wouldn't pay to be a part of any board. But if TSM was to wind up closing, I do see there being smaller free boards popping up with members of TSM calling it their own, kinda like UGS. INdeed. that is the master plan... I knew it!! TSM refugees will set up all kinds of little colonies that will all war with each other until a new large board will take them over...
Lil' Bitch Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 Say Invision Power Board wanted to charge all of it's site users, and members, fees to use the forum, put aside for a second how much money they would make from it if everyone did, but would you pay it? Hell nah.
