Australian cuesports

cueball.tv Subscriptions/Survival

Well folks were here !

cueball.tv is attempting to become solvent, and will be charging subscriptions as of the 14th of May 2012.

Dan and Kymo ( cueball.tv ) have been funding this project exclusively since 2005 ( with a few donations - thanx ).

Between the two of us this is really really expensive, but with 2000+ of us it can be really really cheap !

And that is basically the logic.

We have done ( arguably ) that which we set out to achieve - put Australian cuesports on the map through post/LIVE video+commentary, and centralize the co-ordination of events/ideas to the benefit of the whole community.

We can all do better !

Moving forward for cueball.tv means keeping up with emerging technologies, not just in software and hardware, but also the application of this on the internet ( which also constantly changes ) !

We are happy to continue doing the work, but only as long as you guy's are happy to help pay for it.

This being an attempt to make cueball.tv pay for itself, rather than Dan and Kymo being able to quit their day jobs and afford second wives.

This is how it will work . . . .

icon will be displayed on bottom right hand corner of your profile picture . . .

- staff - free per year

- commercial member - $200 per year - ( this means you are a person/persons who sells and promotes your new cuesports products ) access all areas

- betterer member - $40+ per year - access all areas

- better member - $20+ per year - access all areas

- standard member - $10 per year - access all areas

no icon - member - $0 per year - access all areas but cannot comment, chat or interact with other members

So there are really only two things to consider with this if you are not staff or a commercial entity. How much do I think it is worth ?

Still only about 5% of all members have made a donation or purchased a membership."WHAT'S GOING ON PEOPLE",i'm unemployed at present yet have made a small donation twice plus purchased an annual membership.Smoke a few less cigs for the week or down a few less ales.Can't tell me that there is not one person on this site that can't afford at least ten bucks for the year to help cue sports flourish.We are making inroads but it's pretty poor that only 5% of all members have made a donation or purchased a membership!

This is the same for any internet forum, there are always a large percentage of people who join up, might only read the forum once or twice and that's it. They are not real members. I would say most real members here have paid for membership

Still 5% is low, if we can get to 15-20%, that would be excellent
