[VIDS]Rockets vs Blazers 02/24/09 and Cavaliers 02/26/09

I'm not trying to be an ass... but doesn't Clutch make more than enough to support this server PLUS some from all the AD revenues?

And aren't we as members actually an asset to him, b/c w/o views there would be no ADs?

But I do appreciate all his efforts.. I love clutchfans.net.

just wanted to point that out from your post.

 

Did you really need to ask that? Do you want to see his financial books or something?

thx R2K, btw.

 

thank u for effort, r2k.

 

Thank you very much! Have to save the "see you in houston" game.

 

do you know the monthly costs to keep the server running, plus all the bandwidth costs, plus all the mandatory upkeep and time it takes? How much do you think Clutch gets from the tipjar? i mean if everyone who is a member he donated 50 cents a month there would be more than enough to for clutch to quit his job and do this as a full time gig, but there isnt.


Clearly there were enough contributions for clutch to be able to upgrade the server, but the ads are still necessary and people should donate whenever they can to the tipjar even it is is just 50 cents.

think about it 33,612 members x 6 dollars (each member 50 cents a month) thats over 200k thats more than enough for clutch to do this as a full time job. but how many people here actually contribute? I would guess that 1/4 of the 33,612 are contributing members if its that high

 

how much does an average donator donate to the tipjar? do they donate regularly or just one-off...

just wondering...

and everyone should be happy about clutchfans...one of the cleanest forums around

 

just wondering. is the cavs game TNT or FSN

thanks r2k

 

TNT has exclusive broadcast rights to all their games so it wasnt on FSN last night

 

i guess it depends on the donator for me i try to just donate one sum once a year rather than have that lump sum split across the year.

i have no idea the avg contribution only Clutch would know that. I would assume it would be between 10-20 bucks.

20/bucks a year is well worth for this forum with all the contributions from various people and info that is found here and at times the meaningful discussions with others.....heck 20/month is a lot cheaper than some of the p*rn sites out there.

 

Thank you so much! I couldn't watch the game and forgot to DVR it.

 

I don't see why you have to point it out. Doesn't hurt anyone. He isn't demanding you contribute. Nothing whatsoever. Basically just extra "advertisement" for the tip jar.

I'm not trying to be an ass either.

 

Thanks R2K! I missed the first half of the Cavs game, time to watch the whole game again in all it's glory.

As for donations, etc, Clutch deserves any extra money (if any) he gets for creating and maintaining this site in his spare time. What's wrong w/ that? You're not the one risking your pocketbook that the ad revenue pays for maintenance costs each month.

 

I'm hoping no one wanks to clutchfans...

 

Thank you R2K. I didn't watch the Cav game but was very excited Rox win that one. Anxious to see how Rox players pin down the message of "See you in Houston" into the NBA King's head.

 

Wow. You act like Clutch owes you something.

 

Why ask this? You want to be paid for your posts here?

 

Yep, which is why I try to defend why you put it there. Maybe I don't know as much about the costs of this place, but I surely I appreciated and hope that eventually I can become a contributing member as soon as I graduate from college and get a job.

I love this place and I love the effort and time that Clutch gives to it. I know I sure as well wouldn't be able to keep up with such a thing even if I am a big Rockets fans.

 

R2K isn't forcing you to donate to the tipjar or anything. He's just putting it in his post to let people know there is a tipjar in case you feel like donating. Whether you want to donate or not is up to you.

I personally donate a small bit once a year, Im sure some contributing members donate once a month and some give onetime donations, but overall I don't think Clutch is earning a fortune off this site.
