Server to busy. I'm willing to pay for a better one.

[JaggedEdge]

It is really annoying when I spend 20 mins writing a post and than can't post it because the server is to busy.

I understand this is a free site and it is supported solely by adds, but what is Sundance's aversion to charging us. I would much rather pay an annual fee of $10 and have a server that works rather than freeload on a server that doesn't.

Maybe some incentives for pay membership, or limiting the sections non-members can view, or a raffle.

I don't think my request for a new server is wrong considering I'm also offering suggestions to raise the money or limit the problems on the current one.

With that said, I still like this site...

maybe we could see if we could do an auction like icmag is doing for the 4/20 every once in a while, i know weedhound participated in it :hippy:

I would pay a small fee but that said, not many people like to pay for weed sites with CC. I would love not to see server busy I can understand why but it bugs ya.....:wtf:

I'm not suggesting making this a pay site. Simply making the option available for some kind of special treatment. A private board, random little sweepstakes with cheap prizes, anything that could be used as an incentive to get people to pay some money to use this service.

Why dont they just set up a donate button? People who CAN afford it, can donate. Those who can't afford it, don't have to pay anything. Simple as that. :thumbsup::hippy:

I agree why not a donate button? Every other site has one

[JaggedEdge]

Sounds decent, but I still think an optional pay section would be better. I've been on one other site that did that exact thing and it seemed to work. In order for the donation button to really make a decent profit, all these visitors who overload the server would have to contribute.

I would imagine donations would be smaller and less numerous than what could be made by offering an additional service on this site for a minimal fee.

I get the impression Sundance has some kind of aversion to making money off this site. If that is the case he could donate what ever is left over to a charity. :jointsmile:

All I know is this site appears to need a better server but I don't expect him to pick up the bill for our benefit. He already provides a service for free to us here, the least we could do is help in that regard, assuming he is willing to do something of the sort.

I believe I have suggested the same thing in years past and nothing has come of it, so we will see what happens.
