Out of interest how quickly do we go through the views? I browse the old board occasionally and have just seen that they're short on days too. I had a quick look and 7 days is basically $7 with incremental discounts up to 90 days for $75. That struck me as reasonably high - $300 for year. Presumably you pay a hosting fee for the Board on top of the ad free views? What does it average out as a running cost per year? Just out of curiosity. Depends on current events tbh. Busiest ever day was when Jim was sacked, that was about 75k views. Most users online at one time was an hour after the Barnet match, undoubtedly people looking for news Steve had been given the bullet. So bad news is good business. The views are only consumed by members, lurkers who haven’t got an account will still see ads and don’t eat eat away at the ad-free views. We used to have it ad-free for all but changed it ages ago. To be clear, what you pay for on here is ad-free views for members. If we run out of ad-free views the board won’t close down, you’ll just get loads of adverts. TRE and I pay for the domains each year, as well as having recurring card payments each month to keep the ad-free views ticking over.

Is that not something the Co-op could support or users through a Go Fund Me sort of thing too? Just don't like the idea of you two picking up the majority? of the costs.

They're very welcome to contribute if they wish, we wouldn't turn any funding down. I think a Go Fund Me is probably a bit OTT, there's plenty of other things in the world people need to be spending their money on at the moment than a forum, TRE and I chose to run this, nobody is forcing us too. The best thing people could do if they want to contribute would be to bang a tenner on ad-free views.

Nothing from those tight fisted Wrexham fans so it is begging bowl time, we are down to our last 100k views which will not last the coming weekend. If you can please purchase some ad free days.

As TRE said, thank you very much. We’re going to absolutely fly through views so in the run in. If you’ve enjoyed the board this season, please chuck whatever you can in the pot to see us through the final games.

Only messing, donated now. I have another question... I see it's $8 for 1 off payment for 50k views, and you have the option of let the staff decide, however if you select the monthly subscription it drops down to $6 for 50k views, but there's no option to let the staff decide. So question is roughly how many views do you normally get a week/month? I guess it's gone through the roof this season, with all the changes, increase in attendances and also the fact that we are absolutely mega at the moment.

We do about 25k/30k on a non match day, around 50k on a match day. But, that’s lurkers included. However their views don’t eat into the ad-free count, if that makes sense. Only members views consume the ad-free views.
