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

    Tree fidy per month. That is $42/year. Sticks with the theme and the answer is always 42.

    How much will it cost to get imgur to work? 

  • I love Surly and am planning on donating or subscribing. Forgive me for mentioning this if this has already been discussed but the site presently does not possess an SSL Certificate and is not secure.

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

Charge a fee to be able to ban posters.

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

 

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.

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?

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

Light ads + donations would be alright.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

 

I like this idea 

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

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.

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. 

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.

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...

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

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

Who will partake in the profits after expenses are covered. 

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

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

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.

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

 

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

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.
