Would You Pay To Be A Member Of Kirupa

Can ask this:

Does this place pay for itself (advertising and such) or are you a very nice person every year?

You can PM me the answer if its private or anything. Or just not tell me :slight_smile: if im being nosey!

Yeah - the place pays for itself, for mediatemple takes care of all hosting expenses :slight_smile:

Wow… i didn’t know that. Thanks. Keep the replies coming guys.

:lol:

:frowning:

yeah me too

hey Kirupa, that’s two of us! if you run for president, you’ll beat Nader!

oh about paying

nah, i wouldn’t…but it’d be very tempting, what with this being the [size=5]SINGLE BEST FORUM/WEBSITE EVER[/size]
but yeah Kirupa, run for president

If you don’t mind me asking how/when did that come about :slight_smile:

Me pay Kirupa? not a chance
Thats like paying a chick in a club to dance.
Hell no, i’d rather get mines some other place
Where theres no credit card questions in ma face

That happened about a year ago. The site/forums suck more bandwidth than a girl scout troop downloading Britney Spears singles. I did not want to cheapen the site with huge banner ads, popups, etc.

I sent (mt) an e-mail asking them if they would entertain the idea of hosting just the site, but they ended up agreeing to host both the site and the forums! I was happy, and I’m sure they are happy via the publicity they receive :slight_smile:

worm - C.O.D., money order, paypal, check, etc. are also accepted! :stuck_out_tongue:

YAHOO!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

Aussie, aussie, aussie!!

I can’t pay anyways, I’m not working and I don’t have a credit card…yet :evil:

What’s the biggest paying board?

I think somethingawful isn’t a free forum, and I’m quite sure it’s huggggge

I would leave… :frowning:

hmm, I doubt I would pay, I could probably be persuaded to write a useful post for every useless - but I would definately pay money to hunt down anybody who brings kirupa on such a bad idea :bad:

I’m a mod, I stay for free :stuck_out_tongue:

(hopefully…)

I’m a mod and I’d just take a reduction in pay :stuck_out_tongue:

… and what’s bogging down this page? Does someone’s footer need to go?
is that you starpromo :bad:

No, I’d not pay :frowning: I’m cheap :smiley:

I’m already paying a monthly protection fee to EthanM

if it was the matter of a couple of quid for admin costs then yeah…

but i assume kirupa makes money from the links like FFF and others on the homepage…

Hey sorry about that. I normally only have one Footer per page but totally forgot last night. They are all off now apart from one on each page :slight_smile:
