Andries you need to calm down.

Btw, I have few questions I couldn't ask last night because my head was a bit too heavy at 5am.

Do we pay annually or just first year Byrone?
If a member can't pay, someone special lets say, can I pay on his behalf? it works?
Its just for the first year.Once things stabilize ill be able to make the forum self sufficient.If you want to,you can.


I wouldn't call you an artist.
Very cute.

Ok, here's one wow addict. :D

But you see, no one would actually pay for a private server because you can't be sure of what you're getting. It's all about guarantees.
There is a guarantee. See, I used to play on one and they went into debts and later on they wanted donations to keep it alive. Who donates keeps his level and who doesn't, he gets his character deleted. People donated because they wanted to to keep it alive.

Did you just take a chance or did you know that your character would stay alive for certain?

Either way, what if your character isn't worth keeping or if you're able to move him to some other, free place?

This is a stupid metaphor. :D

you cannot compare a forum to wow dusan.

i just want to know what i am paying for here, will it work? or are u just going to dissapear?
Not comparing but it's a similar case sometimes. I understand your frustation, though. See, I don't think I'd able to pay but I don't find it that weird if they ask for it. They are in debts and there's someone who has to cover it. Will it dissapear? Yes, if they don't get the money it will dissapear. Just look it overall, why would they want money if they weren't in trouble? I for one don't see why would they lie about it.

i just dont believe it costs 16k a year to run a forum. who is getting this money? you have to be rich to run a forum.
It goes directly into the web hosters account,ill provide the bank deposit receipt.

No Byrone, that's an inevitable suspicion which arises whenever a customer has too little information and at least half of a brain.
Fair enough but as i said once ive negotiated the new features with the respective companies,ill make it public.Everyone can make their decision from there.

Is it true Byrone?
According to Seven.

Are you for real? You get the chance to have 16k just like that and you don't understand why you'd want it? What a nice world you live in.

No, 10% of 8000 equals 800. 800 times 20 equals 16 000.

The new features? What frigging features? I don't need features. All I need is a place to post.

how can you guarentee that the forum will become self sufficient?
Well once ive signed the agreements with the prospective advertisers then i can.Ill have my lawyer draft an iron clad contract agreement.

I see. Let me see how much financially I can help and I might give you an answer tonight through PM.
Thanks Rab.;)

There is no guarantee whatsoever that he won't run off with your money.
Ill have the payment to the bank & web hosters readily available.

It's not stupid IMO :) It really fits with this story and I'm really not lying about it. You can't move him anywhere. There were some characters that weren't worth it (like low level that you can get in 2 days) but just some people donated. Most of the old people payed though and yes they just took a shot with it because they knew the staff and admins. The thing is that they wanted to play with same people and it's the only reason I'd stay here.

I just want to believe and I don't think he lies. I know you can I'm a moron because I believe in something like it but it's just who I am. I do think there's some debt because it's not the first time I see something like this.

Fair enough.If you pay,you help keep the forum afloat.As ive said quite a few times,ive signed a document of non disclosure.I cannot reveal those details.

Please read through my posts carefully.Your constantly repeating your questions

No, 10% of 8000 equals 800. 800 times 20 equals 16 000.

Where did you come up with 8000? There 11 587 users on this forum,when exactly did i give that exact figure?

Thats why i said,according to Seven. For a so called smart guy your maths really sucks.

Dusan, you weren't able to play with that character and those people anywhere else. Thing is, we can.
Well yes that is true mate, can't agrue about it. But look it this way : they could be in some sort of problems and you can help or believe they are stealing 20$ from your pocket. Take it or leave it, they can't force you to pay. I could move to some other place but I won't and I can't donate. It's just not the same somewhere else.

Even if there are 11 587 members, there are many fewer than 8000 who are active.

- You won't get enough money from this deal to finance the alleged debts.
- The forum will lose most of its members.

And the site will die. You haven't thought this through properly, have you?
