Just saw "Donate to livescifi"

I for 1 would have no problem making an ocassional or even monthly donation to the site.

I do not charge for my services but I do have expenses like gas. So I can imagine the expenses Tim has being on a much larger scale.

You get over 100 viewers at times...if everyone of them donated at least $5.00 or $10.00, it would be a good start and help some.

The question here is not if the team is worth it. your not getting the point here. The team is well worth that and a lot more. So please don't misunderstand what I'm saying. Everyone keeps going back to how wonderful and deserving the team is, when this isn't in dispute one single bit so please don't make it seem like it is.

The question here is that one, some members wont be able to stay and second and from what I can see, more important that the site wont grow. So I'm only trying to find a different way to help the team out and maybe even getting more money than charging five or ten dollars a month from everyone. So if you have any useful suggestions that might help the team and the site out it would be most useful.

we appreciate everyones input on this while we have not made a final descision on this we are leaning to charging a monthly subscription and also placing advertising on the site. The growth of the site at this point is secondary while keeping the content fresh and fully functioning to our existing members is primary.

Banner ads may help but alone they would not provide a solution. An advertiser would only advertise here if there was a chance to make money. It is great there are around 100 viewers/show...but it just isn't enough to convince an advertiser to spend their money here IMO. As the site grows, this will change.

Monthly subscription fees/donations will keep people away but seems to be the only way to keep the site open in the short-term.

We should keep in mind that it appears that Tim is expanding this site beyond "In Search of the Paranormal" and has a business plan he is following. I leave it to Tim to inform us of his needs. Tim and the team are pioneers in merging Live TV into the internet. This is the future. I'm just glad to be a part of it. If we enjoy the show, we should support it anyway we can.
