Hi People,

I thought it was clear ... but apparently it isn´t

BUT ... Housequake will continue to be a FREE site for all to enjoy.

What we´re asking is that maybe some of you might be willing to donate something. The Paypal donation option has been there a long time now. But now we´re just asking directly. And based on the huge number of emails we´ve recieved I´d say a lot of you seems willing to help out with a small donation too.

So no need to freak out and be sad about the bills. This is voluntarily work ... and it´s also voluntarily to donate or not.

AND: This is not intended to be a business. So all donations will go to make the site run on decent servers and connections. All benefits will be returned to the donating people in some way: Merchandise (like Caps, T-shirts) or other ways. Housequake will not earn money on this.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Chastity


keep up the good work Bo !!!

Personally speaking, I dont see anyone flaming or baiting anyone else on this thread so far - unless I missed something?

What I did see were some people saying they were all for it, and some saying that they were not interested in paying 4 such a thing.

How this translates in2 people supposedly gloating on 'Housequake's demise' simply baffles me. Differences aside, even I would not wish 2 see Housequake* go, as I know it is a valued resource and much loved by it's members - and I dont even visit there. There is ample room 4 all, and Im sure the guys will be back up and running in no time, so dont fret. All we gotta do is give a little and stop being so damned touchy upinah.

Ok, speech ova - my plane awaits me...

I miss the quake so much. It was a daily event for me to visit and get my P fix. They had the best articles, photography, news, etc. I absolutely adored their WMV's and miss watching them. I can't afford the $60, but will definitely give some sort of donations. I met alot of cool friends via this site and got some pics from another hqer of the BHAM concert. I love this site and miss it much. I hope it is back up soon. I am at a total loss! Nothing Compares 2 U, Housequake!!!! sad

I really wish people would read the whole thread instead of just the first post before they reply. It has been stated by Chastity (HQ mod) that HQ is going to return, is going to remain a free site for all and that any donations would be just that - voluntary donations.
(HQ has had a paypal donation button on the front page since at least March this year - some have donated, most haven't.) There have been enough positive responses to the question of donation/subscription that hopefully this will speed up HQ's return and ease the strain on Aaron's pocket.

Lest we forget the reason P.Org now has google ads on the forum pages - these sites costs are borne by the owners, and inevitably as popularity and usage increases, so do the costs. Many members are more than willing to donate $$ to help keep them running. It is an option, as is google ads.
And yes, the word "subscription" appears to be the cause of the confusion, but hopefully Chastity's posts have cleared that up.



not everybody reads this particular thread... I am afraid. That is way I was suggesting to modify the only page available in housequake.com. It is misleading in my view.

I personally can't wait for Housequake to be back in full effect !!
(and I agree with bananacologne that I haven't noticed real flames in this thread)
