It was your original free site that got me to sign up for your paysite in the first place. I signed up for a year based not on the quantity of material you offered but on the quality, the looks of the girls and the ways you captured them on film. And I knew I wold join after looking at your free site once. Truthfully, and this is not sour grapes, I figure the free site is for people who are not going to join at all. I mean, if your freesite has hundreds or even thousands of high resolution images, comparable in image quality to what is on the pay site, and is continuously updated, well, you are as you say doing a great service to the community overall. I guess people who are going to join your site will join it based on a much smaller free site, and the driving force will be if your free site catches their eye as it did mine (and they have the very reasonable ammount of money needed). So maintaining a larger free site ammounts to just that, community service.

On the other hand, you might be torturing some guys who are unable to join your paysite for financial or privacy reasons, and maybe they will in fact join your site on those occasions that they can.

A Question to the Wetlook Community

By Kev - kev.styx@ntlworld.com Wed 23/04/03 21:21:07 GMT

Website: www.styxfreeworld.com

For the last eighteen months styx-photography.com (the freesite) has delivered new photosets every week- to eveyone, for free, nothing, zilch, buckshee, etc.

For free I have made a point of updating the site EVERY week. I have placed mpegs on there for people to download too. My free updates have been more reliable than many paysites.

Now the site has changed name to styxFREEworld and I'm in the process of transfering the galleries over. The reason for the dely? Because I am making the pictures twice as big as before!

The question is, am I completely wasting my time? Judging from the comments of some people on this forum it looks like I am.

I don't mind really, I'm quite happy to put the costs of running the freesite into my wallet. I am also happy to use the hours I spend running the site into other things.

This weekend the first of the 9 bigger galleries were going to be transfered onto the new site, including a new gallery of Jo May in a tub of custard.

But quite franky, unless I get get some positive feed back- I ain't going to bother!

I have better things to do with my time and money than waste it on people who are either ungrateful or downright hostile!

Choice is yours guys

Kev
