    I like the idea of a premium board that people post extra for. However:

    1) your core customers left that exact model partially for that reason. (And Kim is a douche)

    2) I'm not paying for porn. I will probably donate, and if I do the $129, it will be to support the site that I fucking hate.

    3) I think the recruiting board should go back to the original rules of not being shitty towards recruits. Even tho most comments are in jest, people that haven't PMd @irishdawg22 don't get it.

    4) people like Sven need to nut the fuck up and donate. If everyone donated, the lights could be kept on for $20 each.
    That is all. Fuck off.

    No one cares

    I don't think the Wigwam is being used as some "keep out the plebians" type thing here. It is one bored, out of like nine, and no special insider info is given out there. It's just a place where you can post the more outlandish things you run across on the internet that wouldn't fly on any of the other boreds. So, I look at it as a bonus area to see jokes in their purest forms and where the associated meme's can be shown in their full uncensored glory. Not some super secret members only area where devious schemes are hatched and plotted. It's fun for me, but not a big deal at all really. Just a small bonus for those who choose to really support the site.

    2) I'm not paying for porn. I will probably donate, and if I do the $129, it will be to support the site that I fucking hate.

    See above. It isn't porn. You can make wheelchair jokes in there as well.


    3) I think the recruiting board should go back to the original rules of not being shitty towards recruits. Even tho most comments are in jest, people that haven't PMd @irishdawg22 don't get it.

    I have no opinion on this.

    4) people like Sven need to nut the fuck up and donate. If everyone donated, the lights could be kept on for $20 each.

    Agreed. I would still donate at a high rate because I really like these boreds, but if even half the regulars donated at the standard supporter level this place would be self supporting for years.

    That is all. Fuck off.

    Agree with this. Everyone should fuck off.

    Why do us regular folk have to support Sven's bandwidth massacre?

    Also, post up some site stats, besides pageviews.

    # of members would be good start.

    I say just make it a pay site. If you're getting over 1 million views a month you should honestly be making a good chunk of change in this endeavor. The numbers don't seem to add up for me.

    I'll pay when my check from my weekend work with @TommySQC clears.

    But seriously, there are 17 people in the wigwam right now. Some of those are BOI types. Not sure what the numbers are on standard and butler cabin pledges this cycle, but I haven't seen a single badge yet for either of them. So, um, yeah. If this was a pay site it would be 8 people talking to each other. Gay. If you can't get people to donate 25 bucks a year, I don't see much chance in making it a pay site. But I don;t know shit about elastic and inelastic demand curves so I am basically talking out of my ass.

    All I'm saying is that if there are 1 million plus page views in a month there must be demand to visit this site. Like $4/month fee.

    That visitors number must also make advertising avenues available too.

    But I'm just an idiot with a keyboard
    Yes.

    IIRC, the issue with google advertising revenue is we say fuck.

    Maybe instead of resetting, supporter badges should accumulate. Have you idiots learned nothing from Pokemon?

    Instead of now the option to donate to be reinstated (Hi AZDuck!)....can we donate and have the option to ban someone?

    Don't be mad because you know you would be first.
    That's what a Coog would do.

    I don't know if this will work or not, we're in LIPO mode. I'm hopeful but we'll see. If it doesn't work I will change it back and try something new. I do know that I'm not willing to fund the site any further with my own money (as I did last month). So Hardcore Husky will sink or swim depending on the level of support from its regulars.

    So if I buy in and it goes tits up, I get nothing?
    I don't expect that to happen of course, but there would be ample warnings.
    Just gone?????
