Why Donate?

Spookee · 02-17-2005, 08:17 AM

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE REASONS YOU NEED PEOPLE TO DONATE TO PAY FOR YOUR WEBSITE. THERE ARE MANY FREE CHAT-FORUM SITES OUT THERE. IS THIS JUST A WAY FOR YOU TO LINE YOUR POCKET USING PETLOVERS SYMPATHY? AS SO MANY OTHER SO CALLED PET ENTHUSIAST DO? I ALSO HAVE A WEBSITE OFFERING FORUMS,CHAT AND LOADS OF DOG TRAINING AND CARE ARTICLES, AND FREE EMAIL IF YOU WISH. IT IS AD-FREE AND POP UP FREE. IT ONLY RUNS ME $20.00 A MONTH AND ITS BEEN RUNNING SINCE 1998 . I WOULD THINK IF YOU ARE A PET LOVER YOU WOULD ENJOY HELPING TO EDUCATE PEOPLE NOT TRY TO MAKE A BUCK OFF THEM. http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/Hos...b?__frame=_top

ACCORDING TO THIS YOU ALSO ONLY PAY ABOUT 240.00 A YEAR. ALL OF THE PERKS YOU ARE OFFERING ARE FREE TO YOU AT A CLICK OF A BUTTON. WHY DON'T YOU SELL T-SHIRTS OR HATS AND SUCH TO MAKE MONEY TO PAY FOR YOUR SITE. THAT WAY YOUR MEMBERS HAVE SOMETHING THEY CAN SHOW. THE WAY I SEE IT YOU WANT MONEY FOR NEARLY NOTHING BUT THE RIGHT TO VISIT A DOG FORUM

Like Chichi said, no need to scream. And I don't think Quincy is raising money so he have some pocket money. And you don't have to donate if you don't want to. Yesh....I think he wants the money to make the site better, but I'm not sure because I didn't read the thread he posted about the donating.

But ya, if you have any questions, just ask Quincy.

Donating is totally optional. You are not bound to donate in any way, shape, or form. Yes, we will have a store up soon. If you don't donate, you're just as welcome as if you did. Donating is just one way to help globalpaw.com expand.

Oh, and take a look at this, sparky... http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/Ser...b?__frame=_top

Funny, according to my calculations, I pay $828 per year on hosting, that does not count the additional money I place into this site to add new features, would you like to review?

One Year Hosting - $828
Extra Domain Fees - $10
GlobalPaw vBulletin License - $160
Photopost Pictures License - $199
Sigmachat Chat License - $135 (per year)
Quizshock Trivia License - $75
Link Directory License - $99
Email Program: $130 (Which will be implemented should we reach our goal)
Advertising - $500 / Year
-------------------------------------
Total: $2136
I'm asking for $300. If we reach our goal, I'll spend half of that adding an auction area to the site, and the other half on advertising. Yeah, I'm just rolling in profit, arn't I?

Crossfire Bulldogs · 02-17-2005, 09:31 AM

Wow, most people would at least start with a hello before screaming from the roof top about something they have no clue about. At any rate, I believe if you would have taken the time to look into all of the billing rate instead of jumping to conclusions we wouldn't even be hearing from you huh?

I believe your accusations have been addressed. If you plan on actually becoming an active member of our community then welcome, if not then good day to you and good luck with your "free" site.

gaddylovesdogs · 02-17-2005, 09:34 AM

Geesh. No one HAS to pay. It's an option, and a good one. It goes to keeping GP up.

Here Here, I hope that you could enjoy this, it isnt about the money, like they said you DONT HAVE to donate

DarknessDivine · 02-17-2005, 10:41 AM

Some people are not happy that Quincy is doing so well at his age. He has a great forum with great members and won Featured Forum (which is where this probably stemmed from), I can say from experience this stuff is not free.
The forum alone is $160.00 or $85.00 per year and then the Gallery and other things he's added his server alone if it's a good one is gonna cost major bucks so I don't see where you are coming from.
If you offer all of that and ask nothing from your members or they don't feel appreciative enough to you to donate then that's your life.
I also have a donations button up on my forum..never once advertised it yet members came to me wanting to donate.
I suggest you pout somewhere else.

Spookee · 02-17-2005, 11:22 AM

[admin edit - spam removed] here is my $20.00 a month website. and sorry for screaming.

WingedFoal · 02-17-2005, 01:36 PM

Well I'm planning on donating as soon as I can because this website is well worth it. I don't see anything wrong with asking for donations to make an even better website.

linnie · 02-17-2005, 02:15 PM

whooooo I dont see Quincy holding a gun to anyones head.
I was more than happy to donate to the smooth running of this site. And as one of the poor people I never gave it a second thought.
If you smoke or drink for pleasure do you get it for nothing???? I doubt it..
This site is a pleasure for all of us here and Quincy is a young man who spends time, effort and money providing this entertainment and informative site.

Those of us who feel moved to help him with his expenses have done so those of us who cant or dont want to havnt. But everyone is welcome here if they love dogs regardless of weather they help offset costs or not.
If you dont like the way we opperate...... then see you later

PitBullie09 · 02-17-2005, 02:29 PM

Good God! That isnt a Good way to introduce yourself here. YOU dont have to donate. And if you have your own forum, I guess you just signed up here to advertise.. Right?

Global Paw · 02-17-2005, 02:34 PM

His website has been posted here before, I don't remember what thread it is, but remember somebody got upset because they found a link to pit bull fighting rules? Same website.

linnie · 02-17-2005, 02:37 PM

sounds just like the sort of person you should ban ,to me, Quincy

Global Paw · 02-17-2005, 02:39 PM

A step ahead of you, Linnie.
