[iplaystarcraft]

i as just ondering... about how much does Darky pay to run the site?

 

[ben_xuereb]

well it wouldnt be too much if he is still paying for it for so long

 

[Darky29]

well it wouldnt be too much if he is still paying for it for so long

actually its a huge financial burden for me.
And i dont shut it down, because i made it for the wc3 community.
The fact remains, the site uses vast amounts of webspace and has nearly a terrabyte traffic a month.
Paying this as a student with no income hurts a lot.

 

[ben_xuereb]

wow i got quoted from darky thats good that he is back online and going over the forums

ok sory my bad darky if it is becoming too much (no one flame me for ths im just helping darky) mayby you might wanna close this site for awile and cathup with your finance cause if it gets too bad you might have to close this site for good

I love when you people (like DDNGW says) start freakin out everytime darky comes to the site xD. Darky won't stay long as far as I know.

everyone spoke and no one answered to the question... i think he was asking for the precise amount of money required to pay this site... about 50£? 200£? more? or what?

still it is nice to see darky coming to the site... after all, this doesnt happen every day!

ya, i can imagine how much that would hurt with no income.

 

[ben_xuereb]

Rui the reason of this is because he is the sites main mod and its rare that you see him yet even more rarer he quotes you

 

[james1654]

why does darky not visit his own site much anymore then, if he pays so much for it?

I think that there should be a way to donate cash to the site, if i had a job, i would certainly do it (not a huge amount, just £5 a week) and then if other people decided to, then it would certainly make things better for darky. But sadly, i dont have a job however, i will in 3 years time

p.s: How much does it cost, anyway?

Click on the "PayPal DONATE" button.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

You can donate money by using paypal, theres a little logo of it in upper left corner where the WoW add also is.

 

[Kimbo]

bha! nv ever trust paypal! evil bussinus monkeys with emptied big pockets. yet, when ever there pocket are full the buy bannas and want more cash!

The cost of this site is probably quite financially destructive, as much traffic that comes in here darky's prolly paying like $50 a month. And as a student that would kill you financially. Especially with no income. But if darky did something like my site has (a preffered members area) he might get the site to even out and he might make about as much as he spends in bandwidth monthly haha. All he has to do is add in some special "bonus" features for users who are "preffered" customers. Preffered customers would pay roughly 3-5 a month and have more benefits than normal members. (such as access to new forums etc.) This would help darky alot financially and with how much traffic this site gets he might actually start earning back some of that money he spends.

 

[N00byStance]

IMO that would kill the essence of wc3search

Or keep it alive...anyway i was just making a suggestion that might help darky pay for the page thats all. Think about if it were you, would u keep paying high amounts of money to keep the site going? anyway in any case it was just an idea and i mean wc3sear.ch already has a higharchy:

Administrator(s)
Global Mod(s)
Single Forum Mod(s)
User(s)

The only thing this would do is add in a new level to that between users and single forum mods which allowed access to new forums, maybe official contests and beta testing.

 

[Vexorian]

I would be the first one boycotting and plotting to destroy this site if it becomes into a money machine like that.

 

[Herio-san]

haha well its not like darky's decided to do anything like that..altho alot of sites do have special members and things like that darky may choose to continue doing what hes already doing. its not like if he did that it would affect us any. there would just be other people who may decide they want more benefits and they could pay for them u kno?
