I hope to be able to work on ANN throughout the week and over the weekend. The first change will be to turn off unmoderated posting by default, and revert to a system similar to the thresholds I used in 1999. The comments script needs a long-overdue revision and a few aspects of the layout also need a change. I've been reconsidering the "contribute/ANN ad-free" idea I had a few months ago. How many of you would be prepared to pay $25 per year and in return receive a special login id so you wouldn't see any advertisement banners anymore? Please voice your opinions in the comments section.

Update : Comment 11 of 15 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Colin Wilson on 17-Apr-2000 22:00 GMT | I`m sure one of the reasons Christian won`t be in a position to accept credit card payments is one of the initial costs - it costs about £1000 minimum for the initial setup costs, and then there is all the associated security aspects that would need keeping track of.
If an outside company handled the payments, they would probably want an initial fee for setup, plus a percentage of all payments they handle.
Christian - here`s an idea - what about if you were able to combine a couple of these ideas :
* a donation facility
* a T-shirt, proclaiming the benefits of ANN
* mouse mats
* mugs
Maybe you could run another poll on who would be interested this sort of merchandise, even though it`s at a tangent to the initial raison d`etre for ANN ?
There is a company local to me who prints up speciality mugs - I could make some enquiries if you like... |
