    Default Future of SCJ Site

    Ive grown very attached to this site. Ive only been a member for a few months yet during that time, I find Ive posted nearly 500 comments (some of you may be thinking...FBR..thats nearly 500 too many LOL) Ive actually made several web friends here and certainly feel close to all the posters who share the same SC passion

    I guess my thought is where do you think we will be a year from now? I see Pryce and GF working their buns off to make this site a success (although the pink site gets more attention than we do LOL). The paltry donation I recently made would maybe cover beer and wings for them for a couple of nights LOL but thats about it. Obviously, their work has to be at least to some degree a labor of love. At the same time, I have visions of one day some huge internet conglomerate suddenly noticing us, seeing an opportunity to make some money, and gobbling us up. That would be great for Pryce and GF but would suck for us as no doubt SW/SCJ would turn into a pay site :-/ with all the associated bullshit.

    I guess the challenge is to somehow keep the doors open so that we can all enjoy this site without our Founders suffering burnout. Im just throwing this out as a topic just to let my buds know that I do actually have a thought in my brain besides which next set of boobies are gonna be in my face

    Comments?

    Your right FBR we do have a nice group of folks here. I hope it's not like the little hole in the wall resturant, you know and love. They go big and it is never the same...

    FBR, that is why I am a supporter...... I never found a site where such great information is shared, and not "alot" of stuipid flaming and name calling...

    I agree we have become friends here, and look foward to keeping up with eachother....

    It is inevitable that all good things must come to an end.... I'm sure that at some point Pryce and GF will move on to greener pastures.
    I just hope that whoever buys this site, keeps it the way it is and allows the free exchange of information that we have enjoyed for a year now.
    I can say that logging on this site as become a part of my daily routine. I have made many friends here and feel that we are all just one big family! Just like a family, we have our spats, but eventually we kiss and make up... that's the fun part
    Although I do enjoy kissing some more than others.

    I wouldn't mind this site getting a more "international" flavour. The one thing, for me, that I miss out on is more stuff that applies to me here in Australia.

    I have learnt ALOT about how things are in the USA and Canada region (plus other regions such as Guam and Britain).... yet the USA/Canada focus is very strong whereas there isn't so much for the rest of us.

    I reckon that one way Pryce and GF could increase their money from the site is get sections "sponsored" by either individuals or businesses. For $X USD per month/quarter, the individual/business will have a link to their website (or just their name) posted at the top of the sponsored folder.

    No banner ads or anything like that... they are annoy-ing. Just a text link.. something unobtrusive yet still visable. I think that's a great idea and another way for others to help keep this site going without it being "gobbled up" by some big business.

    Just a thought.
