Do you know any good advertisers?
Quote from Williwaw on November 29, 2022, 12:02 amJust don??t go the Elon Musk Twitter route. Personally I??d prefer every few months or even twice a year you did a pledge drive sort of like public radio and give folks the option of choosing an automatic monthly donation with a free calendar or mug if they do ten dollars a month. Personally I think a pay wall would deplete fresh blood and grist for the mill.?ÿ

Yes, this is exactly why I've never done it. Thought about it many times though. I still end up with the same theoretic conclusion when I think it through.

Quote from cf-67 on November 29, 2022, 2:33 amI like the pledge drive idea - Wikipedia do this, make it very easy to donate, and i always end up giving something. They seem to know just when to stop from being too intrusive, but Wendell is the opposite - too polite! (I don't even see a "Donate" button, unless I deleted it somehow)
Obviously alot of the guys here just quietly donate regularly and don't make a song and dance about it, but others, like me, need a little prodding/reminder so some kind of drive would be good.
I'm here alot more than it might seem because I don't usually sign in if I am just browsing.
I agree, on reflection, that a subscription would probably lead to stagnation.
