lets do it,ive 6p left in my account ,im already stressing over it, ive got post traumatic stress disorder
|
|
By:
Then go and spend a penny
|
|
By:
:^0 1p to post? Have a day off.
The dross, the krap and the rubbish are what makes this forum & the others. |
|
By:
no change then?
|
|
By:
Paying to talk a load of sh!t would not stop most people on the forum from posting.
|
|
By:
That's okay, so what if all the nonsense still gets posted. If it is raising money for a very good cause, who cares? surely nobody would be so mean as to begrudge a penny a post, and the combined posting of all of us could raise a worthwhile donation to give to a deserving cause at christmas
|
|
By:
I would be so mean. I wouldn't post if it cost 1p per post. :)
|
|
By:
if you're that hard up dan, i'll sponsor you and pay yours then, as long as you don't take the mick and post endless nonsense just to bankrupt me.
|
|
By:
I'd say multiply a million by 20 and you'll be nearer the mark. Maybe 50 or even more.
|
|
By:
Nowt to do with being hard up at all. If I had a million quid in my account (I don't) I wouldn't pay 1p to post.
I don't gamble anymore, therefore when I came back on the forum I lodged a tenner, stuck it on something and lost it. And won't be lodging again until i'm told I have to, to post (If that day ever arises). Absolutely nothing to do with the financial side of it, it's do with having to pay to post on a forum, something i'd never do. |
|
By:
I reckon 80million posts a year.
|
|
By:
really mitchell? surely not! that's a very large number mate.
|
|
By:
why not dan?
i believe nearly everyone is charitable at heart, even if they come across as heartless gits on here sometimes. if you knew that your penny was going to as noble as cause as helping sick kids, or the homeless, or keeping the elderly warm, or something equally worthwhile, surely this would be a good idea. |
|
By:
Well munch, there's over a million threads in the archive, going back say 4 years? Multiply a million by say an average of 20 posts a thread and divide by 4 and you get, ermm 5 million a year. lol
|
|
By:
If they went ahead with this, i'd have no objection and i'm sure the great majority wouldn't. I wouldn't post though, if I want to give money to charitable causes (I rarely do :D ) I'd choose them myself.
Hosting a quiz could cost me a quid ;) :^0 |
|
By:
5 million a year would be fifty grand! that would be brilliant woudn't it!
i'm a bit of a chit chat quiz player myself dan and i wouldn't mind if it cost me a quid. i'd be pleased to give it for a worthy cause and it would still be value for a few hours entertainment. |
|
By:
It would be excellent. Would probably cost me £3 a month. Happy with that.
|
|
By:
all charity is corrupt ,always someone creaming off it, look at those romanian orphans, loads collected for them, still as bad
|
|
By:
a lot of charity may be corrupt as you say yorky, but not all.
|
|
By:
make it 0.1 p and im in
|
|
By:
i can see where the idea comes from but instead why not just offer all the d1ckheads a tenner each and tell them to fvck off and not come back?
|
|
By:
can i have mine in cash?
|
|
By:
easter, even though i said i thought the 1p levy would reduce the number of nonsense threads this wasn't my main objective. i just thought that it might be a welcome side effect. raising money to give away was the main reason though. i really wouldn't care if the nonsense threads remained as they would all be contributing.
|
|
By:
most of the nonsense threads would surely disappear though.
|
|
By:
maybe? 1p isn't a lot though is it? if all the nonsense threads were posted by people with zero accounts then it would naturally.
|
|
By:
can't be bothered reading all this and working out whether it is fishing or serious, but...
surely a better rule would be - can't post unless you have had a matched bet in the last week?? i would support that |
|
By:
it's not fishing at all, why would it be? i genuinely think it is a good idea.
|
|
By:
why would it be??
because about 80% of threads here seem to be fishing atm i actually like your idea, BUT i don't support paying just to post, because it would probably get rid of good value posters who aren't well off or philosophically disagree, unless that money was returned from your next commission but that could be too hard to organise, so maybe a 'matched bet in the last week rule' might get rid of some of the loons who start those fishing threads |
|
By:
i think your idea would be harder to organise than mine. and it wouldn't raise any money for charity
|
|
By:
would definitely support lies proposal over OP. both worthy ideas tho.
|
|
By:
some music to listen to whilst reading this thread

By:
73p made already on this thread. Pudsy is seething.
|
|
By:
74p
|
|
By:
would be 75p if the idea was implemented.
|
|
By:
The I'm opening the first chit-chat pub thread would have raised £110.36 alone :0
|
|
By:
i say free to write a post but pay 60k to read other people's.....
|
|
By:
1p a post not a lot to ask imo
|
|
By:
munch man
bit unfair on Quiz runners , Quiz referees and Admin Team don't you think ? Why give BF the chance to charge us more ? |
|
By:
it's only a penny joe. and i'm a quizzer myself remember. if taking part in a big quiz cost a quid, and it went to a good cause like a kiddies hospital or something, i wouldn't mind at all. still very good value entertainment too.
