tww hasn't had a reliable source of revenue for the last year, since the advertising platform we were using disabled our account, and the few alternatives I've looked at haven't panned out. I've been able to pay tww server costs from some reserves from years past, but i've basically been paying out of pocket the last year. recently the autopay for the server stopped working, and the hosting company I guess turned off service. I was able to reboot the server (lol), but I don't know how long it'll last.

so, since we've now had a taste of tww's end, we can either decide to embrace it, or I can take another shot at finding a way to keep paying for this stuff.

All the feels about to come over me.

How much would you save if it stripped out all the image hosting?

Also, what's the approximate cost to keep tww up?

6/16/2016 10:38:58 PM

It's going to be like that seen in Truman Show when it finally goes off the air.

6/16/2016 10:39:07 PM

For realz, how much are we talking? Pretty sure we can scrape it up collectively...

6/16/2016 10:53:06 PM

Look. It had a good run. Time to let it die.

6/16/2016 10:53:38 PM

current hosting is $250/mo

$10/mo with 25 benefactors would cover it.
or a more sustainable model would be to cover a year at a time. $100 with 30 benefactors.

How much storage and bandwidth is wasted on pictures?

Also, I'm down for 10 a month

6/16/2016 10:56:17 PM

i'm in for 10 but i better be a GD mod! lol

6/16/2016 10:57:13 PM

storage/bandwidth is a nonissue, currently.

6/16/2016 10:57:20 PM

I'm willing to negotiate

$20 a month AND I get to be a mod

Sign me up for that shit

6/16/2016 11:00:41 PM

250 a month?????! Wtf y'all, just let it die.

6/16/2016 11:01:46 PM

I'm in to keep it going

6/16/2016 11:02:19 PM

If it is the end <3 TWW for years of entertainment.

You'd get a better return on your investment by lighting your money on fire.


Do the right thing, don't let TWW turn into the website equivalent of Terry Schiavo.

6/16/2016 11:05:11 PM

so tuff

6/16/2016 11:06:27 PM

TWW is where I get most of my news (political, sports, tech, whatever) and at least semi informed opinions

I don't really know where I'd go if it were gone.

6/16/2016 11:06:54 PM

Is this real life?

6/16/2016 11:09:40 PM

ITT: People pay the equivalent of a Netflix subscription to keep the nostalgia going.

But damn. It's hard to let go. If we're really scraping together a monthly funding scheme, I'll chip in as well.

6/16/2016 11:11:23 PM

Is this just fantasy?

6/16/2016 11:11:32 PM

yeah i still use you fuckers to scrub the internet for me and pick out the good shit as i don't have time anymore.

6/16/2016 11:12:15 PM

All accounts pay premium? $5/year or account is gone

[Edited on June 16, 2016 at 11:21 PM. Reason : Dd]

6/16/2016 11:12:47 PM

I'm not going to pay $10 a month, but I will chip in some dollarbucks if it will help and we get enough people.

i'd be totally fine with that. but

if it's 250/month that works out to 600 users paying $5 premium/year. uh...are there 600 users?

[Edited on June 16, 2016 at 11:21 PM. Reason : ^kinda what i think]

6/16/2016 11:21:01 PM

Regardless of how many it would cut a chunk out of the need for "sustaining" money.

6/16/2016 11:22:50 PM

I'll chip in. Set up a tww-specific patreon or? Maybe there's a better way of regular payments I dunno.

6/16/2016 11:22:51 PM

If some of those 1700 users online right now would chip in..

6/16/2016 11:26:19 PM

Well damn

6/16/2016 11:28:40 PM

How the fuck did tww die? Is it not PC enough for pussified incoming students?

6/16/2016 11:41:42 PM

Because everyone, like you, left. Jackass.

6/16/2016 11:42:59 PM
