The plan...(to keep KSUFANS alive)

[Saulbadguy]

Donations are no longer being accepted.  PM me if you have any questions.  I will provide more information when it becomes available.  One way or another, our community will still be alive.

[michigancat]

He's selling you the domain for $2500?

What a sonofabitch.

[doom]

How long do we have to meet the goal?  We need a cat pak'r at the K on a weekend to raise money.  Can we talk Ma Beaz into donating the money when Mike gets his kerbillions?

May 15th is the target date. One month.

[Chingon]

Yikes, thats a pretty short amount of time to get that much cash.

You'll get $10 from me.  Maybe more depending on the finances.

[Kat Kid]

This is terrible.

I will donate when we get over $1000

[michigancat]

Seriously, f*ck MJ, start over on a new domain.

I'd much prefer to support $$$ to that cause.

[Chingon]

2500 for just the domain?  That seems like a lot for a site that is going to "die"?  Can you please give more info on the transition between admins and more info on the biz model?

[MOKSUAZ]

is the 2500 is more for mj recouping his loses over time running the site?  or just standard domain buying like purchasing google, etc...?

[Kat Kid]

yeah, i want to know exactly what we get for the $2500.

If it isn't the board software and other tangible things, then f him and grab emaw.com (it is for sale).

The price is dictated on startup costs for the new site, and potential revenue that this site brings in.  This site generates ad revenues, that will be used to sustain the "new" site - and fund KSUFANS tailgates/parties, contests, give-aways, etc, like I posted above.  I'd like it to rely completely on ads and not donations.

As for the transition between admins, I have not decided on that yet.  I will run the site, and likely keep some of the current staff (those who wish to stay on board).  

[waks]

If we fail in sustaining the site then we can expect our money back, yes?

It is the board software.  Once its transferred to me, I run the show.  

Tangible things - like I said, parties/tailgates, give-aways (like score pick em contests for gift cards), subscriptions to hustler, raffles, and to offset the cost of KSUFANS merchandise (so perhaps shirts wont cost 20 bucks).  

I have other ideas too, but none of them that would limit the sites growth potential.

Absolutely. If we fail to meet the goal, I will refund your payments.

Scanned and put on the site for the big time donors?

How much money would I have to donate to rename The Endzone Dive to Waks's Waterhole?

SMF is a free discussion board software package that webmasters can download and install on their own websites.

So why not just wait till his rights to the domian expire?  I understand there is going to be some cost to the site, hardware, your time, more computer gear.  I am looking for more info on where the money is going.

Let's just say I know how much $$$ you have....well, at least have a good idea.

The domain isn't expiring anytime soon.  Most of the money is going to buy the actual site, because of the revenue it generates from ads.  Like I said, that revenue will be used for things to improve the site.

understoond.  If the site is generating X revenue and the 2500 is to cover the cost I got that.  Is the site currently running in the red?  Would you like further info like this to be asked in PM?

I need figures Solomon. PM?

[dr00d]

Is this a joke? how many posts are there a day? Seriously, it isn't like this is some top 100 frickin site.  I could run this message board from my basement if I got a tad more pipe. 

2500 dollars from this group? You are kidding your self.  Good luck with that.

[Trim]

The entire plan should be spelled out here.  Every dollar.  If $2500 is shown to be truly necessary to keep things running, people will donate without hesitation.

Transparency.

[fatty fat fat]

2500?? WHAT?!?!?

$2000 of it is going to the current owner of this site for ownership of the domain name, the ksufans.com brand, and ownership of the Google AdSense account for ad revenues.  This will be put in my name, and I will account for every penny of it to make sure it goes back in to the site.  I will not resell it afterwards under any circumstances. I don't think their is a better way to do this.

$500 is going towards pre-paying for our new host.  Despite what some may think, this site uses alot of bandwidth and CPU time, and if we want fast, reliable performance, it'll cost.

Setting up a new site, is of course an option in my mind.  However, it will just raise the same concerns down the road, because someone has to pay for the server and bandwidth, it's not free.

Of course, i'm all ears.

[doom]

I think we should call Fitz and ask for a donation, just for kicks.
