tithead Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 i say you either get paying sponsers to keep the site going lee! but i think sick boy has had the best idea if lee doesnt want to carry on. every1 chips in and the members own the site. the only problem is if we do that, what are the new members going to say, we should take 1 or 2 members from each forum and get them to run the site, nyuk, boonman,evil, ledofthezep, if we do that then they can let each other no what is going on where, whos doing what etc. lee please dont go, your seeing the shit that this is kicking up and eventually the site will fall apart. this has been said before, but why should we get caught up in it to!

Wheatchex Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 I've been gone for a while and now I come back to this. Apparently I missed a lot of stuff. Anyway, I've been watching and posting for quite a while from almost the begining of the HQ. I've seen a lot and posted a lot. There have been times when I've gotten discouraged with answering the same questions and times when I've tried answering all the questions I could. But the thing I've tried to do in all my postings is be aware that my reputation is only as good as my comments/answers. I have in the past posted things that, looking back on now, were not up to my personal standards and am not happy with them. I've seen the good and the bad and the ugly side of message boards and every one goes through these states as the popularity increases and then wanes. If everyone was to look upon the way they come across on forums such as these then maybe there would be less ugliness and more camaraderie. I have learned a great deal and hopefully helped a few in the process. We have been very fortunate that Lee has provided us with the ability to exchange information on the banshee and allowed us a wide latitude in our ramblings. For this I am greatful for what Lee has created and maintained over the years. I do not know what is involved in creating or maintaining a website such as this, however I suspect it consumes a large amount of time and effort on Lee's part. I commend Lee for his love of the site and the banshee and would hate to see the information that is contained within to be lost. On the otherhand I would not blame Lee at all if he would decide to close up the HQ because his priorities in life have changed and evolved. It's been great ride Lee! Good luck in your future endevors. Wheatchex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banshees and beers Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Lee is it money or is it time? Like everyone else said, name your price for the server space, and all rights to your code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb67rs1 Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 i heard from a little birdy that lee hasnt ever paid for web space, this whole site is free for him so i think if he doesnt want nothign to do with it any more he should be willing to let someone else take it over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaynSand Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 He needs sponsors , If he gets a lot of sponsors and makes a profit from the site he would keep it running , All you guy's with a business selling stuff here need to run an ad. Hit Lee up about running some banners , it's good advertisement . Noss machine has been a dedicated sponsor of this site , Who else can sponsor?? I sure hate to see this site go.

banshees and beers Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 I don't think it is all about the money. I know Clint wante to put a banner up, I am sure others did too. I think Lee had his fun with the site and is ready to move on. If he does then he does, we just make a new one, it is the people here that make the site. I won't kiss Lee's ass to keep it going.

sredish Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 I've been here awhile, not as long as some and a lot longer than others. This has been the one place that has helped me along the way in learning about my machine, the sport, and the people that enjoy the sport. I have to come in at least two or three times a day "just to check in". I would be very dissapointed to find the site no longer here one day. I'm sure there is enough people around to find someone that would be willing to take over. None of that is my business, nor is it my business to know why you can't in the first place. It has been a lot of fun and I hope to be able to continue to learn here and help here. If there is anything I/we can do, please do not hesitate to let us know. Thanks Lee for your dedication to making this a great place to be and I hope everything works out in your favor. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotulMonsta Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 If it's free..then It's for me..simple as that. I don't f*ck with a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee04le Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 IMO Everyone needs to shut the f*ck up. The man already said that if he decides to let it go he will sell it to someone that will keep it a banshee site. And some of you guys are just plane douche bags. So what if he DOES get server space for free you ungrateful bastard. How much does it cost YOU to peddle you wares around here? The way I see it is Lee is the man who STARTED this thing...don't you get it? The man deserves to make a little money off of a project like this. But I'm sure he don't. Why don't you go off and dedicate your time and capital and build a banshee site with no intent of recouping any of your investment. You won't, because #1 you don't have the know how, and #2 you would expect some kind of return on a project like that. This topic should be deleted, everyone should get back to the business of banshees and bullshit'n and everyone who cares should just click on make a donation and give 5 or 10 bucks a couple times a year. I haven't yet, I'm a cheap bastard...but I think I will in the future if everything can get back to normal. I was thinking that maybe just some kind of cool little banshee icon could be affixed to the sigs of members who have shown that they care enough about this site to donate. Then it wouldn't be mandatory but shit I wan't a cool little banshee icon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
