What would you do if...!!

Well, I agree with Ushgarak................don't hurt me 😕

Arent you the optimistic one? 😄

Just because the free aspect of KMC disappears, does not mean the fun will disappear with it.

If Raz can make the site that much better with a little help from the people who visit the site, who wouldn't want to pay.

Hmm, all the people that aren't members of the site yet, perhaps?

It's an open community. Closing it up would kill it.

What amount of cash do adverts bring in? It seems that the advertisements often relate to the topic of the thread--ie, a "What was your best vacation?" thread would have a Travel Agency advertisement or something.

Or am I the only one to have noticed that? 😕

I'd love to help, but I am ad-free...

Me too 😎

Ush was ad free for about 2 years now...he forgot what they look like 😛

yeah...i noticed that too 😄

I was starting to assume the magic pixies brought the money in.

😑

Securicor Pixies, you might call them...

Ush... you said that closing the doors would kill it.

There is an access of 33,000 members. Of that, assume half pay. That is still 16,000 + members here. How is that bad?

That is still quite a bit of people

Plus all the super cool features i havent thought of yet 😎

Well, assuming half is insanely hopeful, because the active members list is more like five hundred, and most of them cannot pay.

Secondly, virtually no-one else would ever join. That would kill it. This isn't an elitist community for existing members, it is an open community for the public.

One of the cool features should be one that gives you money back equal to what you paid...

Everything has to grow. Starbucks didnt start out a huge corperation either. But, look where it is now. Subscription doesn't necessarily have to be an astronomical charge. It could be pittens a day.

i'd have to leave this site!
i an't payn' sh!t!

Cyc: would you support subscription?

cuz it sure sounds like you do...

... and still no-one would join. I am willing to bet that some 95% of posters who joined casually and got hooked would not have joined casually if they had had to pay, even a small amount. I sure as hell wouldn't. We'd also lose a heck of a lot of the existing community.

It's only a joke idea from Lil! I am amazed you are trying to seriously back it. This is a net community, open and free. That is kinda the point.

I would leave, I have no money 😐
