View Full Version : Can we do anything to help financially for startup?

I realize the goal is to keep this site free like many others do. I can't help but think that one person or a small group of people have taken the financial hit to get things going here. I have a funny feeling that I'm probably not speaking for myself when I say that I would be more than happy to make a small donation to help offset the initial hit for those involved on the ground floor.

Food for thought....

You know Delo put a transponder in him when he performed the addadicktome on him. Last I knew you didn't want him anymore. You said he was tainted.

Either way, let's get some more feedback on this topic. It's time to renew elsewhere, I can easily justify that much or a little more here without hesitation.

I like the SOS logo and would like some stickers for my car/truck. How about selling some stickers and then shirts, hats etc. to raise some money.

I would assume they will have to have some income,don't think the advertisers part will pay the band width.

Let the founders and charter members make a one time donation?


Its privilege being a part of something new in the beginning .:cheers2:

I'm in for a donation to.

It's nice to see so many wants to contribute. This was discused a bit..
Chris needs to figure this out.. Stickers, shirts.. etc.. might be a good way..

I think we need to plan a get together in KW and just flip the bill for now.

Chris
10-22-2008, 09:22 PM
We're working on something right now. The offer is appreciated. The intent was never to use the site to generate revenue but as many of you have guessed, it's a very pricey proposition to get it going and to operate. It would be nice to have it support itself at some point, but that's not even close to the top of our to-do list right now.

Who created the logo? I think the "m" in ".com" should be in line with
the bow on the boat. It will give the logo the right balance.
Just my 2 kronors... I do like the logo as well:)

Does anyone here working with printing? I do. But think we are on the
wrong side of the pod.

Thanks,
Mange

Has anyone spoken to habana Joe about clothing? He would be a good person to have on board,not just for the clothes but he has a ton of history about offshore.

I have a guy that does good work and was thinking of having him do a limited amount of shirts and stickers to see how they come out.

The software has built-in tracking. It records the transaction in the member database.

What if shares were created and sold? This way start up costs and other expensise are covered. In the future if the site picks up advertisers and starts to make money, the share holders can get something back Down the road if the site is sold, the share holders can all have an interest.

I just threw $50 your way guys. Thanks for getting this thing going. It really looks great and more importantly, the one's behind it seem to care and are easy to contact.:coolgleamA:

Good luck, and let me know if you would like any ideas or help with how these forums work. I've been on OSO from the start and can save you the hassle of trail & error on a few things if needed, haha. :banghead:
