It's time to monetize, the question is how?

[Guest]

I never have paid for a chatroom or board.  I would do $5 a month easily. 

 

I'ma need a badge though...

[Zepol87 9185]

I'm good for donating but only if I can brag Rocko style from the old board

[TXs 226]

Charge a fee to be able to ban posters.

[Treefidy 1463]

Treefidy a month should be an option and is more than reasonable.  

 

[Errestaurants 2570]

Whats the threshold for whale status? can i be a moderator? 

[RockyMountainHighHorn 890]

One common theme in the current responses has been an affinity for the "I'll pay _____(more than 10$) if _________." Now, this isn't a typical fundraising style but this could create a pretty amazing thread and moments, as well as the money needed. Just a thought.

Gladly pay a nominal monthly fee, but in return would want a way to jettison the obvious trolls post haste.

Agreed. An auction thread would be a fun way to raise money.

[lonestarsooner 121]

What the hell, I’d be in for tree fiddy a month. Give the significance of that I think it’s a good number. Hell, might even go to $5 just for baller status. Love the Sooner/Longhorn hatred here and appreciate all the other great sub forums.

Pay to Play, huh?

[Jack Wilson 313]

I subscribe to the Golden Rule: "He who supplies the gold rules when it comes to applying the banhammer."

[MadBurgerMaker 404]

Light ads + donations would be alright.

I'm okay with Yellow Rose stripper parties too though.  Don't get me wrong. 

[Tired of Lurking 637]

Eliminate $2 for $3.50. It's the only choice. 

[Wally Fairway 5539]

I say charge the non-Longhorn member; maybe they will go back to where they came from!
or
Monetize this bitch and earn back that treefiddy that was lost

[RPM 26315]

Non members get limited access and ad aids.

Tree fiddy gets you membership.

Five dolla gets you Baller VIP access.

????

Profit

I would pay this board 3-4X what i would ever pay my school's board.

If surly made subscribers immune to rep, no pos or neg, I'd be down for $10 a month.

[elnimo 55]

What, no $9.95 option?  

[ButtFumble 5164]

dick pic cloud storage......better have amazon sized server space for this forum though

[Cairn Horn88 8259]

Do hot chicks (pics required) get in free?   But, of course.

[EMAWesome 101]

If you start letting everyone ban everyone they think are trolls it will take about  three days for everyone on the entire board to be banned.

[Hurtlocker 2212]

At what level of donation do the hookers and blow show up?

I like this idea 

[Thiefery 4995]

I'm down for a yearly $60 donation.  I love this site more than my wife and kids... I need this.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21872]

Will some of the donations get squirreled away in a secret location?

[Post Oak 20205]

Im in. 3.50. 

[CfRhTxStBobcats 600]

Put me down for a 1 time payment of 44,000 Iranian rials.  Or $2 a month, your choice.

 

This is got darn merica, do whatever you need to to turn a profit. I did $5 a month at shaggy so I can do that here also.

I haven't noticed that. The only trend that I have seen is fuck Kevin Morgan, Chip Brown, and ou in reverse order.

[Radical Larry 28539]

I'll donate a one year membership to the Jelly of the Month Club. 

 

It's the give that keeps on giving the whole year. 

[txhorns 2409]

If Blacklab still has any legal fees I think it should be monetized as much as possible until they are paid off, assuming that wouldn't violate any court orders.  After that turn the ads down as needed to where the site is making enough to pay the bills and maybe a basdass tailgate once a year.

[irishtexan 11511]

If I donate $4 per month, can I IP ban the non-donar of my choice?

[Bigbend1812 12915]

Donate for sure.   Fuck a bunch of adds and FCB.

[SDG 3319]

I’ll give an extra $5 per month if you auto hide CR and any poster who post more than 75% of their post there...

[TexasEd 8066]

I like what I read as option 2.  No ads for donors and light ads for non donors or visitors. 

[cactusflinthead 27598]

As long as the ads don't hijack the page idgaf. Chase that money.

It should be multiples of tree fiddy. 

[TexasEd 8066]

Yeah was going to opt for $42/year.  You know, tree fiddy a month

[Sejjr 3246]

3.50 per month is the obvious answer.

[Lone Star Horn 2016]

i voted for $5/month, but yeah, tree fiddy is better

[TXs 226]

Who will partake in the profits after expenses are covered. 

[NWAustinDude 2252]

Well, if it's that important, I'll have to catch a cab to my bank and cash a traveler's cheque. 

[Stella Link 534]

I'll sell myself to the highest bidder and donate half.  The other half I'm using to get my nails done.

[Hook1997 5351]

Light ad support with suggested donation fee and see if it works.   We don’t want to turn into the $9.95 ers that everyone hates on here and also contrary to popular opinion amungst us here for a long time.  we need new poeople that aren’t run off the site that aren’t really bad and are fans “to keep the lights on”.     Or we will get a small group of  fu to anyone new mentality fast that many seem to want, but it’s not good for business.

[runthebone 7966]

I subscribed to the old board and would do so again.

 

But I don't see why that would be necessary because:  porn.

[ImissWallyPryor 9046]

Most of the $2 folks will pay tree fiddy just to say they did because psychology. Even if the $5 crowd does the same, more money will be raised because math.

How do we make it so you pay me.  You know, like for the effort?

[HoustonHorn 1062]

I'd do 5 or 10 a month. Whatever it takes. Definitely no ads.

[Fudbelty 2787]

I’m in for tree-fiddy a munt. Actually make it $3.49 so It’s only about tree-fiddy
