on another forum ... just personal thoughts

[Rhannon]

I'm pretty restless ;D ... so I have many different interests, follow a lot of things.

On another forum, "Benno's Figures" ( a very great forum about plastic soldiers in 1/72 scale ), bennosfiguresforum.com/, there is a topic, "Shops, traders, manufacturers, etc: Please read this", bennosfiguresforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9236.

... Most of you use this forum to advertise your products to a large group of people. So far this advertising was for free. Due to the continuously increasing number of visitors, the costs to maintain this forum has risen a lot. To help pay for these extra costs I hope you will give periodic donations ...

This isn't a solicitation for anyone, I'm not nikloveland or labrat or their lawyer.

I'm just thinking, I'm just saying. ;D

But ... I'm thinking that someone ( I'm one often ) consider like a chronological ( spiritual ) continuity from the old paperworlds forum to this forum.

Today nikloveland and labrat maintain this forum for their passion (like Jim before) but they are Sanity Studios and Bellicose Fantasy Rules owners.

When I post links, free but not only, other things or news ... I don't know if this can cause problems to Sanity Studios and I don't want this.

So I'd like to know nikloveland and labrat's thought about this.

As far as I know there is no problem with posting links such as this. In fact we encourage it. That's one of the cool things we like about this forum, is that we can come here and get to see lots of other interesting things that people with similar interests have found.

Nik might want to chime in though. He does more the administrative end of things. I just post pictures of the minis I'm working on, and go around pestering people.

If anyone has a desire to support financially, they can just buy a figure set from time to time.

Ditto.

Ok, thanks for replies guys. Now I'm quiet.

I can understand why he did what he did, but the moderator of that forum was a bit snarky about it. Wow. Seems a bit harsh. This must have been building for quite some time.

I love that someone responsible for a website would complain that all of the extra visitors were costing him money.

It's a bit like a newspaper or magazine saying that due to the increased number of sales they were going to have to put the price up.

If you've got loads of traffic, then there are lots of ways to raise revenue.

This website gets traffic from people keeping track of Okum, Darkmook, Dave Graffam etc....... they then find Labrats work too. It's mutually beneficial.

I forgot INked Adventures...... just discovered the range: awesome

Hi David.

I reported the quote just as "hyperbole" ( in italian it means also exaggerate an example to better explain the concept ).

I know that this is your forum. You are here every day, like me.

But this was a personal dubt ( now nik and labrat replied to me ). Reported to me, I posted some external links. Have I created problems? It's all.
