1976_Child Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 Hip Hip!! (although, can we get this rather nasty skate blue changed back to the Red please...sure your on it already!) ps: £5 is a bargain
exit2 Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 hooray! Should be set as default now. Baj has changed it. Log out and in again.
Saint_clark Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 Hip Hip!! (although, can we get this rather nasty skate blue changed back to the Red please...sure your on it already!) ps: £5 is a bargain Many thanks and well dones to them for getting the website up and running, however I do not think £5 is a bargain. I shall not be able to debate this any further as my 3 post quota is now finished....
ottery st mary Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 I say at least 4 cheers, what a great bunch.
Colinjb Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 £5 is not a bargain. It is a joke. 1.36 pence a day. How will we manage?
saints triumph Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 Many thanks and well dones to them for getting the website up and running, however I do not think £5 is a bargain. I shall not be able to debate this any further as my 3 post quota is now finished.... Tight ass less than 10p a week.
Fowllyd Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 Many thanks and well dones to them for getting the website up and running, however I do not think £5 is a bargain. I shall not be able to debate this any further as my 3 post quota is now finished.... £5 is not a bargain. It is a joke. So does either of you have any bright suggestions as to how this site might be funded then? Presumably your own pockets would have to remain untouched, so what would you do?
1976_Child Posted 3 August, 2008 Author Posted 3 August, 2008 £5 is not a bargain. It is a joke. oh right. So are you one of these people who expects to be given everything for free then? Servers cost money!! And if you think a fiver is dear, just thank God that the Admins haven't charged a professional web-developer fee as well !!
Matt SFC Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 oh right. So are you one of these people who expects to be given everything for free then? Servers cost money!! And if you think a fiver is dear, just thank God that the Admins haven't charged a professional web-developer fee as well !! For £5 I would like to be seeing something much more enjoyable than reading these posts. My solution would be to delete inactive accounts, use lots of advertsing, and forget about adding in live league tables, fixture lists etc. Pompey will be laughing at us even more now. This is the last of my three posts. Unless someone wants to pay for me. See y'all tomorrow.
ottery st mary Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 I think they are just having a larf, surely.
southcity Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 oh right. So are you one of these people who expects to be given everything for free then? Servers cost money!! And if you think a fiver is dear, just thank God that the Admins haven't charged a professional web-developer fee as well !! Google don't charge me....get it?
Colinjb Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 Google don't charge me....get it? Google have the format and enough users to justify the advertising payments to keep it going for free use. This is a forum for ONE football club. Somewhat more limited in nature.
Guest admin Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 **** ****ing ***** sorry just testing the swear filter !
Alright Dave Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 Well done admins for getting us back up. Happy to pay once i again have a new CC!!Unfortunately the **** ex rinsed my current one and i had to cancel it!! So only in a few days will i be able to get my full membership ;(
Psycrow Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 For £5 I would like to be seeing something much more enjoyable than reading these posts. My solution would be to delete inactive accounts, use lots of advertsing, and forget about adding in live league tables, fixture lists etc. . So, for £5 you want to see more than posts...which is what you'll be getting.. But you want to forget about adding in live league tabels, fixture lists etc., which are the things you wanted to see for your £5... Good argument
dubai_phil Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 So does either of you have any bright suggestions as to how this site might be funded then? Presumably your own pockets would have to remain untouched, so what would you do? YES - there it is, well done! The first great idea. Now we're needing funding we ALL know what we need A TAKE OVER! Now where's that software bloke gone? We could have a gold plated forum (But seriously Well done lads - I was almost ITK, heard about it Friday in a call back to Blighty and found out you have been burning the phone lines on this. Great effort, Admin for an OBE I say!)
1976_Child Posted 3 August, 2008 Author Posted 3 August, 2008 Google don't charge me....get it? anyone who owns a computer, pays a phone company for broadband access and has electricity in his home can certainly afford a friggin' fiver over one year!! for crying out loud... comic really!

Good argument Problem is a lot of people have not read the document properly so dont appreciate what is going on.
the saints god Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 **** ****ing ***** sorry just testing the swear filter ! **** ******** ***** **** melon ********** **** it does work
1976_Child Posted 3 August, 2008 Author Posted 3 August, 2008 **** ******** ***** **** melon ********** **** it does work ****** err... the above word should read "P O M P E Y". While I freely admit it is amongst the coarsest words in Shakespeare's tongue, it will make referring to "them down the road" a bit tedious...
Psycrow Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 **** ******** ***** **** melon ********** **** it does work S****horpe Sure ****in does
exit2 Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 **** ****ing ***** sorry just testing the swear filter ! ****........did it logged in as admin and not me
pedg Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 ****** err... the above word should read "P O M P E Y". While I freely admit it is amongst the coarsest words in Shakespeare's tongue, it will make referring to "them down the road" a bit tedious... Their probably using the default swear filter that comes with the software. I am sure someone can remove it.
Colinjb Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 Skates, ****, ******, Pompey, Portsmouth hmmmm, It could be better.
Andy_Porter Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 Nice one fellas, didn't take you too long in the end.
Guest admin Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 sorted just for you. You can now say pompey and portsmouth
ottery st mary Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 I am pleased it is only £5 a week as any more than that and I would complain.
1976_Child Posted 3 August, 2008 Author Posted 3 August, 2008 sorted just for you. You can now say pompey and portsmouth thanks, here goes: pompey are a bunch of tossers, ****s, ****ers, arseholes and fa cup winners.
buctootim Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 I am pleased it is only £5 a week as any more than that and I would complain. You do know its £5 a year? (or is this whooosh moment for me?)
Colinjb Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 I am pleased it is only £5 a week as any more than that and I would complain. Oh you are going to get a nice surprise!
trousers Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 You do know its £5 a year? (or is this whooosh moment for me?) I'm thinking...."Whoossshh"
Baj Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 I am pleased it is only £5 a week as any more than that and I would complain. Can charge you £5 a week if you like?
Baj Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 Google don't charge me....get it? Yes because google's advertising model allows them to generate billions of dollars a year through their wealth of traffic. When we're making that sorta money, we might consider going Free again
Colinjb Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 Yes because google's advertising model allows them to generate billions of dollars a year through their wealth of traffic. When we're making that sorta money, we might consider going Free again And buy the Club itself and become one of the biggest players in world football! Now there's an idea....
St_Tel49 Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 £5 is not a bargain. It is a joke. You expect someone else to pay for everything do you?
Baj Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 I suspect he hasn't read the general announcement we made on the old forum. In a nutshell, for this forum to remain viable for the long term, that means reliable and financially sound, we need to rely on something concrete, and that is subscriptions. Donations and advertising simply do not offer the security in terms of balance sheet that we need.
pedg Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 I will willingly pay, say another 25p, if my post count can be put back up. I was closing in on 2,500 posts and feel bereft (but only 25p bereft!)
southcity Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 Google have the format and enough users to justify the advertising payments to keep it going for free use. This is a forum for ONE football club. Somewhat more limited in nature. Yes but with a more collective and dedicated fanbase? Customers who keep coming back irrespective of the service?
Colinjb Posted 3 August, 2008 Posted 3 August, 2008 Yes but with a more collective and dedicated fanbase? Customers who keep coming back irrespective of the service? Estimated number that could use this forum and would be willing to pay. 3-9k or so. Estimated number that use Google to get a chargeable service. 300million at least. hmmmmm, let me think.....
