Hey econ 101, thought there was no such thing as a free lunch? Puppy gets one. My donation is the many hits my threads bring.Meek said:Look, the way I feel is that there are enough donating posters that we have a foundation. It's at the point where non donaters are free riders (Econ 101 superiority guy here), ruining the bored and I'm subsidizing them.

Every other website that I waste my worthless time on has figured out how to monetize my desperate refreshing. Derek can too.Meek said:Look, the way I feel is that there are enough donating posters that we have a foundation.

The subscription model is a death knell especially for a website built primarily on communty interactions rather than original content.
Just ask Scout

A lot of non donators are good posters. If they were denied posting privileges, it would decrease the entertainment value, which in turn might make people not want to donate.Meek said:Look, the way I feel is that there are enough donating posters that we have a foundation.

Now, suppose that all able members contribute to the public good provision. Then the member’s individual one-period ex-ante payoff
is given by q (v − c) + (1 − q) (1 − α) u where α ≡ (1 − q) N−1
is the probability that there are no other able members in the group. Suppose next that no able member contributes to a public good provision. Then the member’s individual one-period ex ante payoff is qw. We make the following assumption which ensures that it is ex ante socially preferable that all able members contribute to a public good production.
Assumption 1 q (v − c − w) + (1 − q) (1 − α) u ≥ 0. -

In the past few days we've had five people donate including two Wigwams. So we are covered into early July now. In terms of covering expenses.Baseman said:

#ThisIsWhyITaft
A new fundraising campaign looms. Fearless leader calls out his crew, "Shit threads. Shit poasters" -
I just don't get it. I'm a 20-something alcoholic with terrible spending habits and I was able to pony up for the wigwam. Can't be hard for all you old, rich, and white fucks to give 20 bucks.
@DerekJohnson Maybe couple your books with a donation in certain packages? Donate X amount and receive X book on the house. You get to move some units while people can support the site AND get something of value.
-
I realize saying i'm a drunk person with terrible spending habits is probably why I donated to wigwam levels and why you frugal old fucks have money, but still...

I have no moneys.. i would donate my 10 dollars of christmas dollars to help fund this bored. But, i can't convert it into paypal.

Just use google adwords for the time being Stalin.

There is no better poster than this:

I think the PBS model of giving things away at certain donation level might be good. This particular crowd went ape shit over a $8 trucker hat priced at six times that. Maybe give away a book with a $60 donation like Doogles said.

One way of taking your privilege seriously is donating. Next, get an avatar.tvoie said:
This is what leaders do people. They aren't afraid of how others perceive them, they say what needs to be said. There are way too many posters on this board not taking the privilege of posting on this board seriously. Grow up!

We won't even spend $20 a month anymore to see some of the hottest women alive do unspeakable sex acts anymore. You're out of your God damned mind if you think we are going to spend that for a message board.
Scout failed for a reason. It runs on a dead platform. Advertising and click bait are the only way to survive now. Twitter relays all news in under twenty words instantly.
Someone will come get your $400 treadmill your wife made you buy her with zero intent to ever use for free when you realize you don't have room in the moving truck for it. If you asked them to pay you $20 for it they'd tell you to fuck off.
Same principle. -
This website will outlast Doogman as long as I have any money.
-
I'm a bit shocked that the people who get the
most use out of the board(thousands and thousands
of posts) don't pony up at least something for the
entertainment they're getting. Then again I guess I
shouldn't be surprised. -
