Who wants to purchase A.org?

Oh dear, here we go again :roflmao:

True fact:

Many lesbians think I haven't got what it takes to satisfy them... but I say this is bunkum!! I have everything and more!!!

What, you had the procedure already?

:lol:

Yup, I had another one installed!

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why stewardship of this site is probably best not placed in either of our hands ::lol:

[jj]

Karlos any idea how many people here have taken out a year subs, and how much people generally donate over a year.

Just thinking out loud.

Well I could give £50 or £100 I suppose.

Especially if the eventual legal ownership entity gave out legal shares in Amiga.org, one share per dollar, 10,000 shares total. I wouldn't expect it to make money, although I guess the domain is worth a few grand on its own. As a company it would earn advertising revenue, and absorb "loans" from its owners (I guess there's a taxable deduction thing there). We'd have to think up a way for new people to buy in in the future, and some people to buy out (although with nominal share value of 0 there's not much point).

In ten years time, we sell up to Latin Girlfriend Finder, if there's nothing left of the community. Looking at the CPC scene, that could sadly be the case. We might have to sell up with perpetual ownership of "commodore.amiga.org" for our own uses as part of the deal :p

@JJ

Sorry, I'm not privy to that kind of information.

[jj]

thought you might not be.  Im just thinking that 10K or whatever in sterling might be quite high for us to raise.  Im wondering would wayne take instalments ?

It would still py off his debts, just not all at once, but over time

$10K is about £6000... according to Wayne, monthly subs come to about $40...

[jj]

£6000 not the best of economic times for it. How many users regularly use this site these days.  Noticed an increase in numbers since new version.  but just trying to work out how much we would need if everyone gave an amount.

I have lots of Amiga stuff I'd trade for Amiga.org.  Guess that won't fly though, as Wayne isn't interested in that sort of thing.

Hahaha, that's sort of the complete opposite of what Wayne wants

[tone007]

Maybe if I'd caught him earlier and threw in the truck to haul the stuff...

[skilgannon]

Folks - please look at my original reoply on the Future of Amiga.Org thread.  I really think that this is the way to go for:

a) - accumulating pledges.
b) - voting on who runs the site.

Seems to have been missed completely inbetween all the gushing over Wayne's announcement.

Anyhoo - as I said in that post - I pledge $200

Cheers

though you could sell it and buy a share

This calls for a telethon.

I wonder if Jerry Lewis is available.
