I paid for Lifetime preemie for myself and a friend awhile back. I've enjoyed the longevity of this site, but I'm approaching 40 and spent the worst years of my life posting here. I love you guys, but I'm content letting this place die and if necessary keeping touch in a FB group or somewhere else. I don't post regularly anymore but I do keep an eye on things and would like to continue to stalk you guys.

Get rid of the current moderators and sell mod privileges for $$$$

1/19/2018 9:22:59 PM

It took me like 5 years to get to my ~2 posts per day. I don't want to start over, and also, reddits layout sucks dick. But I'm already recurring premie (I think?)

1/19/2018 9:39:46 PM

I think tww needs to die eventually but I don’t feel like it’s time has come yet

Mainly because the comments here on entertainment, tech, and politics feel more genuine and relevant to me than Facebook/Twitter/reddit

All these other sites use what we are now coming to understand as perverse incentives to curate content, where tww is still pure and relies mostly on is establishing norms forged through old school human contact enforced mainly by cultural conventions.

I would also suggest a patreon, but I’d buy a premie at this point to gain at least 1 more year.

1/19/2018 10:01:19 PM

I've never posted a great deal, but this site is weirdly important to me.

HoA style sounds interesting. TWW the 501(c)(3)?

It would be nice to see actual costs. That would be a good starting point to figure out how we can run the thing.

1/19/2018 10:08:49 PM

I’m in for premie if we have the critical mass of users. TWW is still my go-to for wild card questions and shit I’m not typing right into Google.

1/19/2018 10:10:00 PM

And ya, I might buy premie.

1/19/2018 10:11:01 PM

Ugh if all these people buy premium memberships I would pay for a super premium account where we get our own cbox that normal premies can't see.

1/19/2018 10:32:33 PM

How much data is hosted and how much daily traffic is there? If photo galleries were removed how much data is hosted. Is a 20GB hosted server enough without moving over old photos?

1/19/2018 10:56:33 PM

Fuck it just got premie, got 15 years out of this site should have paid sooner. Hope it doesn't shut down but if it does I'll consider my $ back pay


Now how do I activate my fancy features??

1/19/2018 11:19:33 PM

Kill it with fire.

1/19/2018 11:44:00 PM

The photo gallery isn't that important, so if it needs to be killed to save costs then do it.

If Premie purchases can help sustain then great, but I'm all for a Patreon or Gofundme. Reddit sucks.

1/20/2018 12:00:34 AM

If qntmfred says the word I’ll buy premie

1/20/2018 12:09:45 AM

rwoody and I just paid for a year. Even if it shuts down in a few months, it was worth it.

2/30

who's next?

1/20/2018 12:10:39 AM

thanks to those who have signed up for premie thus far. And for those who are on the fence, if you sign up for premie now, and the site ends up shutting down in 2018, I'll give you a refund if you want

And I'll commit to making the boards mobile friendly if we get enough people signed up to keep the site running

1/20/2018 10:38:18 AM

How are they not mobile friendly as is? I have zero problems posting from my phone.

1/20/2018 10:52:29 AM

Yeah, I use tww pretty much exclusively on the phone these days, it’s not too bad

1/20/2018 11:01:37 AM

Hey qntm, do you have a legit way for us to donate? besides Bigman's paypal account

1/20/2018 11:15:25 AM

^^same

1/20/2018 11:15:32 AM

Agreed. It seems perfectly mobile friendly as is.

1/20/2018 11:20:56 AM

1/20/2018 11:23:50 AM

Do you accept crypto currencies

1/20/2018 11:27:14 AM

really, y'all aren't frustrated by the pinch/zoom thing you have to do to read tww??

1/20/2018 11:27:59 AM

You could probably fix that just by adding a viewport meta tag to the page

1/20/2018 11:31:03 AM

Other than when some jackhole posts a giant pic, the site looks fine to me on a phone.

1/20/2018 11:31:25 AM

How do you even sign up for premie I don’t see a link anywhere

1/20/2018 11:34:43 AM

<— paid up. Jesus, I’ve been here for 16 years

Same here. I don't mind zooming in and out. it's pretty seamless. There is probably lower hanging fruit that can be addressed...

Clicking on "Buy Ad" on the advertise page freezes then goes to paypal. Where do you put in the message?

1/20/2018 11:56:09 AM

I'm still waiting for bigman's bouncing sad face ad to show up.



Also, let's have a telethon.

once you by the ad views via paypal, you can activate the ads that you've created

I bought a premie. Guess I'll be coming here more often now.

[Edited on January 20, 2018 at 1:50 PM. Reason : Don't tell ThePeter]

1/20/2018 1:48:55 PM

Oh, I reckon I'll buy a premie....where else would I go and have a drunken meltdown about the possibility of being infertile without my grandmother and pastor knowing about it?

How many more subscriptions do you need?

1/20/2018 2:08:32 PM

1 subscription = 1 prayer

1/20/2018 2:14:50 PM

Just keep this pledge drive rolling a few more days, pull the plug, and walk with the money

1/20/2018 2:47:33 PM

<— paid for premie

and yes, it is a chore to use TWW from my phone. I feel like I have to be a goddamn sharpshooter to click links to enter threads.

Ehh not too frustrated by that. Sometimes like ^ said, it’s easy to click the wrong button/link on mobile. But, personally, I’m not sure I’d benefit much from an improved mobile version.

1/20/2018 4:07:29 PM

I'll pay for more premie if you fix it so people that are currently premie can see the signup page.

1/20/2018 4:44:07 PM

pinching/spreading to zoom in before you click a link takes like 0.1 seconds

1/20/2018 5:13:16 PM

All y'all saying "let it die" should just log out and fuck off if you're gonna be piss babies.

1/20/2018 5:13:30 PM

1/20/2018 5:26:59 PM

I will give you $50 if you get rid of Study Hall

1/20/2018 5:34:38 PM

OK, just signed up for 12 mo premie. Its worth $25 to keep her going.

Any way we can update the home page to perhaps keep people coming back? Can we make some changes to get this thing going again?

It would be quite sad to see her off.

Edit:

Also, what can we do to help with some of the stuff that needs to be done? I'm no expert but I occasionally have some free time I could contribute? Does it even work like that?

Is there some other service that we could use to generate ad views? There are definitely NSFW sites that have ads, what service generates those?
