* Could also put an amazon icon next to the facebook and twitter icon. Have it be an affiliate icon and when we are looking to buy from amazon we could click there first and the forum could get some affiliate money. * Every now and then have everyone contribute a dollar or euro - then go buy lottery tickets - maybe we get…

If you do paid stickies can you sink their other threads so we don't get 5-7 discussions from the same vendor of "new ryzen in san jose, dallas, mothers basement, etc "
-
I think friends of the forum (like me!) should be able to buy a blank ad with no click through and no attribution. If enough buy them- voila - no ads! If not enough buy them- then we get ads. Easier than doin patreon, donations etc. Its a simple put your money where your mouth is- don't want an ad- pay for it! Since it…

I wish providers would post a rational comment to the situation unlike the many who have rambled on about how all of a sudden WHMCS sucks and was never very good, its easy to write a replacement, lets sue, lets do a class action, blah blah blah. The rational answer is- "As a provider, they can't afford the new increase…

@karenlaural How many sites did you spam today? This one and of course the OGF. Does it actually work to spam old threads? Do people actually go to your site? What profound intellectual details are you trying to share? Amaze us with your (in)competence.

This started the same way on the OGF. Best to ban and save a headache.

Why not just allow people who don't want to pay for ads to pay for "nothing" and give them priority. If an ad costs $5 for example - let a supporter buy an ad space and let it show up as blank, empty, not attribution- just whitespace. If enough supporters buy nothing, there will be no ads selling something. So, those that…

Something else people need to watch out for is all those vendors giving out "free" blesta licenses that have to be run on their VPS/hosting. Nothing prevents them to start charging for those down the road after many of the low volume resellers migrate to blesta. It will be interesting to see which vendor pulls this trick…
-
I know people will get mad, but on some level you have to appreciate and marvel at their price positioning. It's cheaper than chargebee, recurly, and ubersmith at the higher revenue tiers, at the lowend they wiped the branded $2/mo away plus jacked up the price, and the monthly charges in general are low enough to preclude…

Inertia is a terrible affliction that most people have. 6 months from now, I'm sure the vast majority of those complaining on the boards will still be running WHMCS when they realize "moving is hard". Others will just assess the cost/effort including time to move and compare it to the cost/effort/time to get another client…

You still haven't answered who you are and who your associate is. The point of start.coop is for you to get in touch with people now so you and your associate actually have a grasp of reality prior to applying to their program and perhaps understand the reality of taking a random vacant building that YOU(or family) own and…

@Chievo In the end most summer hosts risk paypal's money due to refunds

You still won't answer who you are and who your associate is. To cut to the bottom line- here is 173 pages to give you step 1 in understanding the enormity of the task. Follow its steps. https://www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/---ed_emp/---emp_ent/---coop/documents/publication/wcms_644711.pdf and go to start.coop - there…

THE COOP NEEDS INSURANCE FOR DIRECTORS AND FOR ITS OPERATING DECISIONS - nothing to do with the fact that your vacant building has insurance
-
you forgot INSURANCE. also hostboards has no visitors let alone any potential ad revenue stream when you have already outlined that the 10 founding members would get ads on the site. Not a lot of room left over. I presume you get a discounted share for turning over the domain names and the website. You still haven't…
-
Even with 10 members you are broke before you start 1300 + 200 +paralegal plus 2000 for programming (that would be a miracle) plus bank fees of at least100 a year plus state licensing fees plus cpa to file taxes plus the most likely request from whoever is director to pay for incidentals such as cell phone, internet, etc…

What is the attorneys quoted fees for year 1? And its moot not mute. Who is your "partner" currently?
-
So, a vote prior to entity formulation. Thus in reality you proposed - 3 shares to LET, 1 to you and 1 to the partner, and 5 that actually front money - or do some of those go to the "developer". So that leaves 2 grand for the control panel theme and the billing panel. And of course 50 bucks for a data center. By the way-…
-
@Offshore_Solutions pardon me being naïve - in the US, how can one member of a coop unilaterally decide to give 3 shares away- like you proposed above? Have you made other promises to those developing the web panel and billing software for the coop?
