Well its not great news but if this is what it takes to keep the forum alive I'm in. Provided users with gay avatars still will be able to post here in the future Byrone?
of course they will.
I dont have a problem paying this amount, 20 bucks is not that much tbh. Though one cant ignore asking why pay for something what you have gotten for free so far. Couldnt Juventuz forum get some sponsor or smth? Its a big forum, a lot of members. I know some forums have commercial adverts on top of the page.
But why did this happen so suddenly. 17 August is very soon. Are you sure you get the amount of money needed? What happens if there are people who are on a vacation who come back later? What happens if you dont get the right amount? Will the fee rise for those who already paid/pay later?
I think most current members will pay for this, but i am not sure about new potential members. Especially if they dont know what do they get for that money. Might as well just pay for the official JUVENTUS membership, they have a forum there as well i think.
One could argue and say i am already paying for this, cause i pay for my internet connection.
What happens if a member is banned? Or if a member stops posting for a while, but returns later (for example military services or smth like that). Basically is there some kind of expiration period if a members pays but doesnt post?
Also if money is involved, can you guarantee that the forum will never go down? Or can you give any guarantees at all. In the end its my choice if i pay or not, but i need some sort or guarantees/trust
Are we going to have to pay once every year?
And please, dont tell me the "goodies" what the members who pay, get are official JuventuZ cap. :cap: Actually why cant you say what are the goodies we get after paying? In the end i want to know what i am paying for.
1. ) Im negotiating with new advertisers.
2. ) The web hoster is putting pressure as they have been owed for months.August 25th is their dealine for payment or else the forum gets cut.
3.) An e-mail explaining the entire situation will be sent out very soon.
4. ) Its a once off payment & im pretty sure that ill get things running smoothly again.The $20 fee will not increase & the money will be refunded once advertisers start paying.
5. ) Im rtying to get the web hoster to extend the payment deadline & if they do then everybody will be given a grace period.
6. ) I will announce the new & improved features once i have made agreements & signed the documents.
7. ) The banning scenario will be taken under revision as there are some flaws in place but if youre banned,you can come back once the ban expires.
8. ) I cant guarantee that the forum will never experience down times,thats impossible but once things have stabilized i will make an invest on upgrading certain things to improve the overall quality of the forum.
9. ) Its a once off fee.
This will be the last time i go over these points so read this carefully.(Not aimed specifically at you Stephan,im just getting alot of repetitive question.)
