The BIG Question - One More Year of RAFO? or Anonymous2000 Send a noteboard - 14/02/2017 03:38:47 AM

I have been very torn over the past month about asking this, because I can see both sides of the argument. But if I don't, I will likely regret it. So here goes:

(PENDING APPROVAL FROM NEB/BEN of course)

Should we give RAFO one more chance or let it pass into the Internet goodnight?

I notebooked with Neb/Ben last month about the cost of running the RAFO server for the next year. I am willing to cover this if we can commit to the following:

  1. We get 25 users to sign up for a $20 premium account. This would give Neb/Ben some financial elbow room and perhaps he can try to advertise the site to get more folks involved.

  2. Please come to RAFO on a regular basis (perhaps once a week). There are so many great users and we all enjoy the threads and discussions.

That's it. So with 2 weeks to go, this is an honest question. What doesn't everyone want to do? As I said above, I can see both sides of the argument, but what the hell. It doesn't hurt to ask, right?

Best wishes,
Ed

I completely understand..... Anonymous2000 - 15/02/2017 07:20:00 PM 780 Views
I'd be willing enough to pay for a premium account again, but not sure it would help at this point. Legolas - 15/02/2017 08:18:47 PM 874 Views
+1. I'd pay for a premie account, but in a year we'll likely be right back here. *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 15/02/2017 10:15:47 PM 519 Views
Me too. I almost renewed mine last week by reflex. *NM* Cannoli - 15/02/2017 11:20:14 PM 506 Views
I would pay for another year, yes. I also am not sure how interesting the site would be. Tom - 16/02/2017 04:57:32 AM 798 Views
I'd consider it, sure The Shrike - 16/02/2017 03:50:27 PM 866 Views
Right on both counts Joel - 21/02/2017 08:43:52 PM 776 Views
I would have no problem paying but I agree it is bit of the kicking a dead horse thing. random thoughts - 15/02/2017 09:30:56 PM 811 Views

Are you sure? None of us want to see it go, but you might be paying for nothing to change. *NM* nossy - 20/02/2017 08:14:21 AM 474 Views

With the current exchange rate, it's ~$14 or $19 for annual premie or premie plus, respectively *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 21/02/2017 09:34:57 PM 426 Views
$19.2something for Premium Plus, apparently Joel - 25/02/2017 10:33:07 PM 725 Views
