Title: Sponsorship Rate Increase effective 01-OCT-2010
Post by: FinsnFur on September 17, 2010, 10:29:57 AM
I seen PM put up something about jacking up their banner rates again now effective Oct 1st.

MANNNNNNNnnnnnnn!! it cost a lot of money to run a website doesnt it?  :iroll: WOWEeee
It doesnt even say they are sorry for having to increase the rates, it actually says we take great pride in doing it.  :alscalls: :alscalls: :doh2: ROFLMAO!!  :laugh2:



ANYWAY I think it's time we upped our rates around here to. This crap is getting way too expensive, and I could be rolling some dough for myself here ifn I do this right. :eyebrow:


So effective immediately, (I can't be waiting around)  all banner positions on FnF Forums will increase from;
$0.00 per month to $00.00 per month.

I hate to do it, I dont' take great pride in doing this, and I am truly sorry for having to do it.
Thanks for your continuing support

Are you sure the rate hike will be enough  :laf: seems you have a few of your own banners running and you should atleast get enough to cover the cost of those  :alscalls: :alscalls:

We don't even get any notice of the hike What if we were to renew right away could we get in on the old price  :shrug: huh Jim, PLEASE  :alscalls: :alscalls:

I don't know that I can afford it.  I already have 3 web sites with you now, which end up costing me about 30 bucks LESS a year than I was paying back when I had ONE web site with some fly by night company.

Jim, that is a double digit increase - from 0 to 00.  Don't you realize that there are people like me that are no longer working and are on a fixed income?  I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight since I will be worried about this.

 :rolleye:  And I'm facing unemployment in the coming months as well Jim!! My goodness this is gonna affect some folks in a negative way. What about those poor souls that want a new website. How they gonna afford this increase? I might have to go to the gubment for a bailout now. But how would I explain my rate increase of another 0 to them?? That is like a 200% increase from $0 to $00.

You're a cold cold man dude!!  :sad:

I wouldn't worry too much HaMer - if the current Government is good at anything, it's adding zeros to numbers.    Lots and lots of Zeros.

Jim,

I have thought long and hard about this and think that I have come up with a way for my rates NOT to increase.  I would like to suggest that you get an additional "part time" job.  It wouldn't need to be a 40 hour a week job or anything like that, but just enough to cover the costs of the increase that you plan to make us pay.  This way it will only bother you a little bit and won't bother the rest of us at ALL.

Jerry


Bop, good job on the automatic post.  Keep up the good work.

Do you give a volume discount?

If so I'll buy a 1000 and sell them on Ebay for $0000.00.

In all fairness to Jim (who will be taking a second job to keep the rates from increasing) I don't think this would be fair.  But since Jim will had the second job I think you (and all the rest of us) should be able to get 100 for eBay.

Jim - You'll get no bit@#$%g from me!  I already wrote you a  check and dropped it in the mail yesterday.  I also added an extra zero to your advertised increase - I understand your need for a price increase in today's market place.  keep up the good work.

So PMS increased its rates, huh?   I am beginning to think that the people who PAY those charges flunked out of Business 101.

As for me, if I even get a -0- increase, I am dropping all plans for my mega store website.    So just take me off the build list, buddy.   Can't afford ya no mo'.   :nono:
