gfy doesn't pay for hosting/bandwidth.

**dropped9** · 06-06-2004, 08:44 PM

You do realize he is getting paid for the banners and button up top and bottom right?

**marcu5** · 06-06-2004, 08:44 PM

agreed gfy should be paying members only.

**zzgundamnzz** · 06-06-2004, 08:45 PM

GFY doesn't need the donations...

I on the other hand can always use donations

But seriously making GFY members only would kill its advertising potential...

**montel** · 06-06-2004, 08:47 PM

this is the most retarded thing i have ever read. the guy is getting paid ~10k per month for EACH banner at the top of the page alone.... and you want to pay for his bandwidth......

if you want to donate to charity you are welcome, but this idea is retarded.

well some sort of donation account or something should be setup...theres alot of money on these boards...and alot of less fortunate or cancer ailing people could benefit from a bit of it...

If it wasn't for the new webmasters coming into the industry...it wouldn't grow...more people the better

**emthree** · 06-06-2004, 08:52 PM

If you care so much, go personally start a fund or donate the money...I'll even give you a few bucks if it's for a good cause.

Your idea on the whole is stupid, I think you're just trying to come off as a good guy to the board.

NO. we want more CONSUMERS. we do not want more WEBMASTERS. more webmasters means more competition and smaller profits for all webmasters. i would have thought this is obvious...... ?

True but what helps makes you money is the people beneath you promoting the same product as yours..traffic will always be there

I think everyone should be able to donate $5 a month or so, and whatever money isnt used for hosting/bandwith costs should be donated to a charity...

Seriously...TO A CHARITY...and the donation should be made publicly, maybe take a bit of heat off the industry...

Hey bro you have some brown stuff on your nose.

GFY Makes enough money on the banner spots. $3000 for each top banner and $500-$750 for each small adds you see when you post. Also Lens host the site at his own hosting company so the BW costs arent this high.

All I fuckin care about is the search feature to be re-enabled.

I've paid my debt to this board by having been a continuous active member for 3 years now... I, along with many, many other top posters, am the reason that this board got so big. Pay for it?
