Donations for Rotarytattoo

[joelhague]

i think the same applies here as it does to tattoo machines, you get what you pay for , rotary forum is simply the best and should have a monthly or yearly fee, just like you don't use cheap china machines if you want free advice go to the tatscratchers.com forum hahaha.

would also be awesome to see some t shirts made up and with donations of 50 dollars or more you get one free.
i know alot of people probably wouldnt mind paying 50 bucks for a limited print rotary forums t shirt! that alone might be able to cover the cost of another year for the admins

like someone else has said the market place and promo prices we get from builders make it worth it alone ive already saved 160 bucks on my last 2 brand new machine purchases through the forums not to mention having a place to buy and sell / trade machines where you don't have to worry about being screwed over because people dont want to lose there membership and or respect/trust of fellow members,

a monthly or yearly fee will only strengthen the community i believe , as long as it is within reason people pay 60 bucks a year to play flippin xbox jeez!

Its getting worked out. Will never require anyone to pay to join or maintain a regular membership. I honestly never thought the site would grow as fast as it did.

My only gripe Admin... are ads worth the pay per click for them being there? I mean will you get so much revenue from them, that its worth having them ? These days we're being spammed every direction underneath above, sideways front and back! Your call obviously.
But the site grew mainly because It reflects the personalities of those who created it =]

I'd rather pay memberships or donate organs than to look at spam ads. Unless they are porn ads

Ad banners for companies that are already here is what is getting worked on. From the start we never put google ads on the site cause all the keywords here along with the standard cached browsing history of everyone this would be covered in WW ads. For two years we have had a multitude of accounts on here that where regularly promoting and marketing the sale of machines, supplies, pigments all sorts of things without us ever asking for a cent. Some even left after they tired to sell a bunch on here and then complained (some directly to me) the place sucked cause no one would pay attention to them or buy their shit.

There will be no pay per click ads here. Anyone who wants to buy ad space on the site would get impression reports but no guaranteed click throughs.

Admittedly most people forget that advertising on most sites is how money is made.

whats the groan for?

If you guys have complaints please air them. If you are worried about seeing a 468x60 pixel box in the top right of your screen showing a banner for a company you probably already have given your hard earned money to in the past you can easily google an adblocker extension for your browser.

This is not meant to be rude, I am only saying if ads bother you you should take steps to remove them from your daily life. You have the technology.

I think most machine builders on this site have made a fair amount of revenue due to its robust social network of users or just people browsing to find out which machine to buy. My vote is a yearly membership for machine builders or something of that nature. Im sure most builders here would say that it sounds fair. Its no fun to receive if you cant give back?!?!

I agrre with this idea, for what my opinion is worth. I have purchased 20 rotary machines since March of this year. I purchased all of them except the first one because of this forum. That should tell you a lot about how much business this forum get the builders that are on the forum.

I wouldnt mind paying a membership fee. This site have been overly valuable to me. I am a single artist and the only one in my area using rotaries. Not having the spam ads is worth paying a membership fee although I wouldnt mind a page of links from all the builders on here to see thier builds and easy acess to thier sites to buy them and thier parts and accessories or swag and they could chip in more for this adversment.
