It will last as long as people make it worth my while. If I were to take MK's suggestion that 40 clips a month is insane, and that I should stick to 6-10, that would extend the life -- for the existing unseen clips -- to nearly four more years. It would also mean a need to only source that many new ones each month to keep the site going indefinitely.
The problem is that I'm the last person on earth to run a pay site, but ended up with it. I have no idea how much to charge, how many clips to post each month (Steve lapsed the 40/month after I rebuilt the site but I decided to honour his original promise), I've never had anything to do with digital video in my life, and although I've tried to solicit opinions from everyone, all that I ended up with was more contradictory views and nothing close to a consensus. I'm lost, I haven't a clue what people need, desire or expect and I need answers. I need as close to a consensus as possible. |

By Mmmpfff - Tue 17/04/07 16:52:56 GMT Actually, the main reason I would not want to join the site is the webmaster appears to be a bit of a narssicistic twit. Oh, and he is a bit of a pratt too. Just saying... |

By Telcontar - mrnemesis@ntlworld.com Tue 17/04/07 09:54:05 GMT I have no idea. No idea at all.
I'd like a larger selection of clips from which to select the members update, but WetGod has those. And I don't feel justified to nag him over these while they're still waiting for me to get the InterWet site going.
I'm still battling DreamHost -- their recent memory usage management mechanism is breaking the site, but they've implemented it very naively and I'm being very unjustly affected. I'm still trying to teach them how Linux (or any modern OS) works and there's but the smallest sliver of hope that they might reprogram their system. I'm overdue a reply so maybe they're investigating. (This is the problem that was causing so many Freebie downloads to fail) If they refuse, or are simply too incompetent to do anything about it, I need to remove the download counter and alter the site to use direct download links. But as a matter of principle, I'm fighting this one.
More importantly, any endeavour in life should be either financially, emotionally or personally rewarding. The WetInRed site is none of these. It's no benefit to me personally, it has no emotional benefits and it's not justifying this by bringing in money.
With a virtual lack of contributors, the lifetime membership had to go for new members. So what do we replace it with? What price? And how long should memberships be? MK suggests we drop to a more sensible 6-10 clips a month, but is this what people want? (It would extend the site's life out to four times the present estimate)
I've tried and I've tried to get an answer out of people on BOTH forums, but the response was absolutely dismal. Very, very few people were willing to help out in that discussion, and it appears that there'd be little more than one new member anyway, as exactly one person expressed an interest in joining. No-one else seemed to want to join.
Right now, I've really lost my appreciation for the site. There's the WAMbank anyway, which now has free downloads for clips under 1 minute. It's hard to compete, and I wonder if it's worth it trying to. Maybe I'd feel more inclined to work on the site if it was more rewarding in ANY way. Right now, it's just a sink of time and effort for too many faceless people who say nothing, won't help and just suck up bandwidth. There is no fun in that. |
