And when we get past this month, I think it's time we opened a debate on the best way to assist Z in funding IW from a long-term point of view, so we're not in strife each month. From what I know of Z I know he hates this time of the month, and having to do this. So I'm prepared to help out and try and facilitate a discussion (probably sometime in the next few of weeks) to see if we can brainstorm any ideas on how to build some kind of ongoing cash flow and reduce the monthly uncertainty we go through.
There will be a number of conditions to participating in this discussion while will be enforced quite strictly. Just a few that come to mind - we don't want anything that will force people off this site. We don't want anything that will bitterly divide people. We don't want anything that will specifically exclude the haves from the have nots in terms of things like accessing core services on this site. That's NOT what we are about here. And this discussion will NOT be used as a soapbox for people to bludgeon others with their point of view. We'll be sharing our opinions, not enforcing them. [img]smile.gif[/img]
As always, Ziroc will remain the owner of this site and the ultimate decision on how to go about things will rest solely with him, but maybe we can help him out. Many minds are better than one, after all - isn't that what the mind flayers say?
What do you guys think? Good idea? bad idea?
Regardless of what you think, I'd appreciate if nobody started up a discussion thread about this until I've had the chance to think it through and talk it over with Z and the other guys. Keep in mind that we all have day jobs as well - but I think this is something we should all have our 2c in.
