No Free Lunch - Update - June 7
Index Previous in Thread Next in Thread

I'm pleased to see the dialog going on here and hope it will continue.

In addition to some discussion of relocating to "the obvious" free (ad-supported) site, I have received by e-mail about a half a dozen suggestions and offers of site hosting, webmastering, and other services and skills we would need if we chose to create our own site/service. These offers I am evaluating along with the possibility of using my own host (fusor.net, hosted by aitcom.net).

I am heartened to see that most respondents are willing to pay for a service, but remain concerned that the effort involved in administering a paid service will outweigh the benefits.

I hope that more people will chime in over the next few days so that we can get a better sense of just what the consensus will be. I'm a little dismayed to see that, so far, only a dozen or so members have indicated a willingness to subscribe at one of the price points in the poll.

Thanks again to all who have contributed to the discussion.
