Whiner alert. That is totally yesterdays news.
If you don't like how mj runs ksufans, then go elsewhere. These are still the best ksu boards out there, by far. "Whaaa, MJ ruined this site by creating premium! Come to this other site instead! (which also has premium.)"
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Thanks for the insult, as always you add a lot.
My point is simple, you could have made money and not alienated the people that make this board what it is. I absolutely do not want people to leave, and I think with a different approach the admins could have strengthened the posters alligiance to this site and made it worth their time. Now, a lot of people might view this as being too similar to the other for profit K-State sites. I do hope that the negative impact is minute, but as we've seen on these boards since the announcement, it could go either way.
I have done the research. Donations do not work unless there are other forms of income. We did the ads you see on the site, but unless everyone clicked 5 ads a day that came here, it wouldn't be enough to do what we're planning, not to mention, I can't ask people to do that because Google would end the account. So for that couple of bucks a day I do get from clicks, it's a nice thing, like buying more memory, or another hard drive for the server..etc.. but it won't be enough and consistent to pay the bills.
This will work if given the chance.
