um azzie... males are thinking, get out.

yes but it also seems to me that if you dont really give a shit, its more likely to be "revealed"

outside the square is where its at.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

Yea but I dun want it to be revealed, I want to work out what exact combination of words will grant me access. Who knows, first person to figure it out MIGHT WIN AN X-BOX 360!!!!!

How did you get the 'not' part? :/
I mean I can see now how it fits, but I never would of thought of it.

 

[mr_brightside]

so...like...how are we meant to pay for this?

stas...brogz goddit...cum here and give us details..

 

[mr_brightside]

$20 for one year, $30 for two launching soon...date was a few pages back!

yeah I know that! I CAN read.

HOW do you pay was the question...

*runs to other thread*

 

[chocolate_lover]

I just thought of something... this 'it' isn't going to be paid subscriber membership is it? because the features we've been told so far sorta fall in line with the sort of thing other free forums/websites have done in the past in order to generate some revenue.

Hahaha, back on page 2 this was said.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

Well we always knew what it was, but finding the actual words was fun/challenging.

 

[chocolate_lover]

yeah, we did.

i thought some of the features were going to be for everyone.
sif reward some kid who can scam money off their parents to pay for premium membership. what about people who have to rely on their own income?

They will get benefits too... how long do you think BOS will stay up for ANYONE if there's no income comming in?

surely google adds and stuff can pay off site hosting. its not exactly like its expensive to host a site like it was when this thing opened. if it was working then it should be working now.

why not just sell notes? surely that makes more sense. hsc students are willing and able to buy them. thats revenue isnt it?

Instead of selling notes, why not just make a very cheap premium membership instead? People get premium notes with that price as well, along with many other snazzy features.

That user still continues to use the site as before. A premium membership costs .05c a day.

Azzie, you don't understand the internets.

Bandwidth (usage / downloads / users) increasing means that it costs more and more for hosting.

Also, maybe they want some money for themselves? they've put in a decent amount of effort getting this site together, and they want to reap some reward from it - they're not taking anything away from the other members.

There is so much competition in the 'hsc notes' sector, alot of them written by professionals... how the hell is BOS going to compete with student notes? They offer premium access to a student community.... keep doing what they do now, only offer some extra incentives to those whom are willing to pay more.
