How bad is the weakening dollar fucking non-US webmasters? Any of you guys feeling the pain? I thought today would be an up day for the greenback after support from 3 countries.

czarina · 10-06-2009, 07:18 AM

bad, bad, bad

Nicky · 10-06-2009, 07:19 AM

It's fucked up. It's been like taking a 10-15% pay-cut the last 3 months.

fris · 10-06-2009, 07:21 AM

I remember when the rate was 1.5

cykoe6 · 10-06-2009, 07:21 AM

It is giving me a fucking headache. I was just checking the EUR/USD rate before i saw this thread.

Dennis69 · 10-06-2009, 07:22 AM

It's really bad... I need more lube

ThumbLord · 10-06-2009, 07:24 AM

it is ok, works both sides

10-06-2009, 07:24 AM

its worked in my favour, i mean i dont exchange from £ to $ as that would cripple me and anyone who does has my sympathy, but converting from $ to £ is makine me a lot more than the previous years where $400 used to average at about £210 its now worth around £250!

Just take 25% of your money and throw it away. You will know what EU webmasters are filling now ;)

Spudman · 10-06-2009, 07:31 AM

it sucks, i'm thinking of moving soon to somewhere where the conversion ratios will be better as its just getting worse here.

BlackCrayon · 10-06-2009, 07:35 AM

meh, it sucks but i also buy a lot of stuff so its pro and con for me. it wasn't too long ago we were getting 20 cents on the dollar, now we're getting 4-5 cents.

woj · 10-06-2009, 07:55 AM

not only is biz a bit slow lately, combine it with the exchange rates, and you guys get fucked from both ends... gotta suck badly...

nico-t · 10-06-2009, 07:57 AM

its depressing.

Pleasurepays · 10-06-2009, 08:13 AM

how about looking at it the other way... "how great was life when the dollar was strong and my currency was weak"

Adzvertise · 10-06-2009, 08:50 AM

As Altwebdesign mentioned, the weak pound means UK people are seeing favorable conversions with USD to GBP. Currently about 1.6 dollars to the pound. I remember when it was close to 2:1.

PornoStar69 · 10-06-2009, 10:25 AM

I predict the US Dollar will CRASH big time

Stock market to CRASH aswell

One long shitty Depression starting out now.
New World Order is here

rowan · 10-06-2009, 10:29 AM

Rather than worry about your dwindling income, think about reducing costs... if you have 10 servers, can you do the same with 5? If you have an ageing server costing you $500/mo at a host which has a better spec version for a lower tag price on their site then why aren't you asking for a discount?

MaDalton · 10-06-2009, 10:34 AM

it's even worse when you have to pay the girls in local currency - like we do

ALL EU WEBMASTERS: A SOLUTION:
Let me host your websites, get paid in US dollars, open a US bank account, make a huge percentage of your purchases here in America and...oh wait, never mind.

ALTERNATE IDEA: Hey EU webmasters - move to NYC and bring your content with you! (You can all stay at my place for free, too.)

same with employees.

It sucks big time

<-- worthless

Adraco · 10-07-2009, 01:36 PM

On an overall scale it's not affecting me too much. partly because I travel accross the Atlantic often enough and partly because earnings are mainly in $ but also costs. I rarely do currerncy conversions, and should it be specifically bad one way, I usually just allocate more work to be done and paid in that specific region and that currency, € or $.

pinkbits · 10-07-2009, 01:53 PM

It fucking hurts, Its just an extra pinch again. So many knocks at the moment. Hard to stay standing up.

flashfire · 10-07-2009, 01:54 PM

yeah it sucks pretty bad but why worry about something you cant control

Calico Jack · 10-07-2009, 02:45 PM

A while ago in Australia one dollar was worth 62 cents. The other day the exchange was 88.77 cents, so it's fucking us significantly!

onwebcam · 10-07-2009, 03:35 PM

The dollar is really only worth >>>

Everyone should have listened to the "conspiracy theorists" because the dollars days are over soon.

Get your gold and silver now. And I don't mean the paper kind because those are going down as well because they can't fulfill the obligations.

pornpf69 · 10-07-2009, 03:39 PM

hurting more than it should... it is like wasting money instead of making...

IsisLee · 10-07-2009, 03:41 PM

I was looking at Australia last November just after the election and $1000USD was worth $1668AUD. Today $1000USD is worth $1126AUD. Thats a drop of $542AUD per $1000. That really has to hurt if you were depending on the currency difference to help cover cost.

Hentaikid · 10-07-2009, 06:39 PM

it's been shit for the last 5 years or so...

In 2001 $USD1000 converted to $AUD2080.

dirtymind · 10-08-2009, 03:49 AM

the dollar is worse than ever. what i would like to know when this free fall of the dollar is going to stop. any of you thinking of changing the prices on your sites? charge them all in euros. making the euro the number one currency in the world.

Would be bad for every country with a weak coin.

Marie · 10-08-2009, 04:01 AM

It sucks. And every time you think it won't go any lower now... yes, it does.

Tell me about it

Today the AUS$1 hit US$0.90 mark, it will be on parity soon.

I'm looking for more Aussie affiliate programs. I heard there was a good one around, something about bats and a world or something - any ideas?

I mean, oh fuck

Odd I see no dates with those predictions.
Stock Market will crash as well eh? Which one, Guessing you do mean the one on Wall Street right? Unless you mean all of them will. Which is it? While we are at Q and A, when will it and what do you mean as a crash? Does it have to drop to what and stay there for how long?
Shitty depression starting now? So you are saying we are currently in a depression?

Sure kill it with the New World Order line. What do you mean anyways? We talking globalization or a few select yet many organizations controlling it all? Please do tell, and please in your own words. Not by posting youtube videos or quoting other peoples web sites.

HomerSimpson · 10-08-2009, 04:59 AM

the dollar is FUCKED for some time now~

The Duck · 10-08-2009, 05:51 AM

And everybody was calling me a conspiracy nut when I talked about the crashing of the dollar.

As far as the topic is concerned; yes, the economic situation between eu and us currency is fucking me right up the ass with no lube.
