I'm breaking my resolution here for good reason, I think. (...) We differ there only in the impact of one post, it's a good thread. I seriously posted my suggestion in the spirit of the thread, as a thought starter. I doubt it would be implemented (...) (22 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.admin.finance)

(...) I agree. I set these points up really just to try to feed the thinking of others. That is why I have not defended them in anyway. That said, I'm happy for Chris (or others) to pop away at them as they wish. I'm also happy for others to take (...) (22 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.admin.finance)

(...) Larry, The thread you posted in was created by me to help the LUGNET community in a small way. Until your post I was very happy with the way it had grown. I count that you have now attacked me personally three times in three days on LUGNET. (...) (22 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.admin.finance)

(...) It is a bit confusing to determine what you're doing and when, there. But I think Kevin chose on the basis of price (as in, he gets more of the fee than if he went with a comparable service) rather than ease of use. I managed to figure it out (...)

(...) Oh, I dunno... I think the idea has merit. How about if users vote on how much posters have to pay? Then the posters that most users find most annoying won't get to annoy us so much unless they have very deep pockets. Heck, if this went far (...) (22 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.admin.finance)

(...) Banner ads are fine with me. I've been meaning to buy some over on Brickshelf for my store, but haven't gotten around to making an actual banner yet! If you go this route, I'd suggest doing it yourself or getting someone a little less (...) (22 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.admin.finance)

(...) Banners I could live with, but pop-ups are very bad. BANG. (...) BANG. Bad idea IMO. While clearing out a lot of the noise (good thing), this will in effect make 99% post less, so LUGNET will seem dead most times. Again, IMO. BANG. (for good (...)

I checked with a former associate doing business law and she agreed that US regulations on non-profit organizations linked with or being users' groups of a commercial product or service is very tricky. Tax advisors would actually tell you to be (...) (22 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.admin.finance)

(...) ... I imagine that the lurk factor is much higher. For comparison, BrickLink has over 7,700 registered members. The LUGNET Admin probably has a pretty good idea of the numbers though, based on server bandwidth and number of unique IPs. Cary (22 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.admin.finance)

(...) Interesting numbers. But I don't think the membership base will increase as fast with higher associated costs (think of a simple supply/demand graph). Remember, there is a risk that LUGNET would price itself out of business. Especially if (...) (22 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.admin.finance)
