Yearly BGOL Subscription - Ad Free - Your thoughts ...

[Blaq]

Y'all act like the porn or software COMES FROM THE BOARD.
The software comes from somebody like Deeptester or MrJody. The porn comes from Slam or Reubzilla. The shit talking from Makkonnen or Dr. Truth.

If the MEMBERS start to dwindle down, the quality of the board will go down. Dramatically. All the shit that was "worth it" may not be around.

You fam Triple H, but those kats are probably gonna kick $10 for the year. Most of those kats won't have to pay anyway because they are contributors. Man look at it like this... we have all complained about leeches. This will rid the site of many of them.

 

[Charlie Chan]

YOU SHOULD PAY US FOR ALL THE AD TRAFFIC WE BRING. I made $200 a month on a shitty site I didn't maintain so you have to be caking Mr. HNIC. You should be trying to expand the site not shrink it by charging motherfuckas, and making folk wait 2 weeks and shit.

YOU ARE FUCKING UP!!!

 

[d-monic]

Kats are gonna be surprised at how many people will join since it will be mandatory. Most of the vets who post have stated that $10 a year isn't a problem and there will be mad lurkers joining also. My cousin has donated and he hasn't made a single post. So those people will provide for the expenses and the hot posters will continue to post.

Most will probably think it's worth it for less than a dollar per month to join for the news, comedy, etc. with music, porn & movies being icing on the cake.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of people on here who don't know shit about torrents or where to find the content that's posted here. A lot of people pm on here to ask how to find hidden links so you know they wouldn't be able to find shit if it wasn't laid out in front of their faces. Convenience, if not anything else will have people droppin' that $10 per year.

If kats didn't give a fuck they wouldn't be here going back and forth. They would just bounce, period. Some are just coming to the realization that the free ride on this particular site is just about over.

That's a good point about cats not knowing where to get stuff. Very true.

 

[phillyphilly]

a few bucks, ok.

 

[Duece]

If I give you 100 that should cover me till '18 right?

I'm probably gonna cough it up, BGOL keeps me with damn near everything.

Man... I'm a skeptic. I love this site, but I can't see donating when I disagree with so much.
If the blunt is welcome, my money is not. If racist attention whores and FTP and tranny posts are welcome, I can't see sending a penny to support.

HNIC doesn't want suggestions. He wants money.
Call me cheap, call me stingy, but I just can't do it. I will continue to contribute in my own way until I get the boot.

 

[AOD]

$10 AIN'T SHIT!! I'M IN LIKE GIN!!

 

[is300]

Anyone who can't or won't pay a dollor a month. Should be out looking for work!! We pay for all other forms of entertainment owned by white people why not support a brother (if HNIC) is black.

We all know supporting a site of this size has cost. If it was free we all would do it. Man up and pay.

 

[Rossini]

but on the serious tip, sometimes i really wonder if some of yall niggas actually USE ur brains. yall talkin bout "man i aint makin HNIC rich!" hello? mcfly? nokia, motorola, and samsung are CAKED THE FUCK UP off EVERYBODY on this bitch! cuz i KNOW yall got cell phones. ford, toyota, nissan, gm, and chrysler is livin HIGH on the hog cuz of us. everytime u eat @ a restaurant, somebody is gettin PAID. whoever owns trojan and lifestyles is RICH AS FUCK! so i guess yall should start walkin everywhere, get rid of ur cell phone, and stop wearin rubbers. fuck it just live in a cave and survive on berries and insects the rest of ur life.

moral of the story? EVERYTIME u spend money, ur makin SOMEBODY rich.

peace.

Is there a free cell phone carrier that will let me get free service? NO

Is there a car company that will let me get cars for free? NO

Are there forums with twice as much porn, twice as much members, twice as much software, twice as much traffic than bgol, that are free. YES

Idiot.

 

[Pussy Krook]

You can make $10 a minute off BGOL so whats niggas problem? I thought everybody here was pimps, hustlers and ballers anyway

I'm in for the 10

YOU ARE FUCKING UP!!!

Why not teach HNIC how to earn that revenue on a porn site. Ask for 25% of the 'new' income and put your money where your mouth is? Sounds like a benefit for all!!!!!

Man fuck a blunt. I put that faggot on ignore awhile ago. You have to say even still the positives of the site outweigh the negatives. There's always gonna be pros & cons.

To be honest all sites have trolls. I just ignore them.

Sounds like a lot of fake ass, broke niggas up in here! Drop your 10 and peep da porn, brothas!!

 

[UniqueStyles82]

Count me in...Ten dollars aint shit to me even though Im on a serious budget...Reading some of these comments got me crying laughing...For all those who say they wont pay due to other message boards having the same shit, please post some of these "of equal value to" spots yall talking about...because I just went to three that some board members mentioned and 2 paled really hard in comparison and the third one was pretty decent but not on bgol level...This board to me is a straight up convenience...Yes I know other boards got some shit but why should I have to go all over the internet to get some shit I know I can more than likely get in one spot...

Also HNIC gives alot more freedom in terms of the shit talking on this board...Some cats come on here and vent, bitch, moan, complain, through hissy fits and then talk big shit on top of that knowing its allowed and accepted here whereas you take that shit to another forum board and get banned with the quickness...
Ive made some bread off this board so I dont mind givin a lil in return...My suggestions:
1. Get rid of the 2 week time period in which a person has to wait to post. Once you register you should be allowed to post immediately(even in the 2 month free access period)
2. Move all the porno movie threads to the backup board and reclassify it as "XXX movies and downloads" or whatever you want to call it..Ill explain this in a minute.
3. Anything that is downloadable (movie,music,etc) move it to the apporpiate sections of the sight. Restrict those sections while a person is in thier 2 month free membership (unless they want to ante up the money earlier).
4. Allow access only to the main board and those sections that deal mainly with information,chit chat threads (political forum, sports, etc). If a new poster is contributing a great amount of movies,pics, music,etc then said poster should get a waiver on the 10 dollars they have to pay.
5. If a person wants to go the full 2 months of free access then they ultimately will face the question of whether to pay or not..if they not willing to pay then they only are allowed to view the threads and not post...that way you should be able to shed tranny posters alot faster...

It is your site so do what you do but best believe Im gonna be here until this shit shuts down permanently..

 

[bklyn1889]

10 Bucks ain't Shit but why after all these years Do we have to start Paying now? Theres a shit load of other boards that don't charge there members, so Why is BGOL trying to CHARGE

 

[The Black HHH]

Man fuck a blunt. I put that faggot on ignore awhile ago. You have to say even still the positives of the site outweigh the negatives. There's always gonna be pros & cons.

Blaq Man-
I 100% agree with you. That's why I'm still here. Plenty of shit that I hate, but the good/benefits outweigh the negatives. That's why I choose this free site over the thousands of other free sites.

When it comes to paying... if it's a penny or a dollar, I'm on principles. And that "support a black man" shit don't work on me because I believe there are a large number of black men who are my enemy and need to be round up and buried alive. I don't think this is a good idea. One in a long line of bad ideas, IMO.

 

[Baldhead_Digital]

True, BGOL has been home of the freebies for a long time. Free porn, free music, free movies, free software.If BGOL was to do a corporate two step, being a hub for all things digitally pirated would be the first thing what would have to be shaken off..
Also True a a buck a month isn't a lot of money. From reading all the posts over the years we have some incredibly ballin type men and women on the board here so dropping a few dollars a month shouldn't be that hard...
HOWEVER.....

It's also true that BGOL was born during the age of the Dot com boom, and has had a multitude of oppertunities to turn in to a cash cow..
Also there is a question of why BGOL is having issues with server fees now? Web hosting fees drop year to year. It was much more expensive to host a site in 2001 than it is now. Why hasn't this always been an issue?
Also the method of driving home that BGOL needs cash to run? Why drop the site for a day, only to bring it back up the next day? It obviously wasn't an issue of the site going down because of lack of cash. What's the reason for the strong arm tactics all of a sudden?

turning the site in to a pay site would probably rid the board of all of the attacks, and FTPs, but it would also slow down the new blood coming in to the site. Thus asking fo donations is a method of approach. Anothoer would be to tap into the resources of the people here and mine them for their abilities... A BGOL Studios would be a cleaver idea. Start off with the BGOL mixtape...submit it to itunes or some other pay for down load service. BGOL might not be so well liked by the porn industry, but Babershops and low nd strip clubs the world over might be the hot spot for the BGOL porn mixtape. Beats made by the best BGOL producers played over the hottest clips of black porn... BGOL studios becomes the source for the porn mixtape. and a product is born...that could prove to be very profitable.
If HNIC is just looking to line his pockets with donations, I can respect that, and all he should do is just come out and just say it in plain words.. "hey I want to make some moeny off this site..come on and donate". If it's really an issue of the cost of maintaining the site. Let us all know the specifics. There are moren thant enough people here who have technical capacities, and access to servers, virtural servers..etc..etc.. who could explain how to decrease if not eliminate completly the cost of running BGOL.

That's my input into the discussion.

 

[grownazzblakman]

Potential Lawsuits will become HNIC's biggest headache, imo.
But he must already have his *legal game* on-lock if he been around so long, thus far.

But *the game* will change dramatically once he starts charging folks
*a subscription fee* for access to download copyrighted material.

Any *cease & desist* letters will multiply exponentially if you are making money while
providing a PERCEIVED vehicle for piracy, I think.

This ain't haterism, btw.
Just saying.

Sites like YouTube had enough cash / funding to battle the ALL THE BIG BOYS in court, once they started getting popular. But will the RIAA come after HNIC, if they found out about this site?
Dunno, maybe they already have, numerous times in the past.

But if he claims the server bills are a problem...
How is he gonna handle the bills if the *lawyer fees* start piling up?
It just doesn't add up, in my mind.

But hey, it ain't my site so....

 

[ddupri]

I dont mind paying $10, but if you trying to make money off the site just admit it, stop trying to trick a nigga.

These posts are killin' me, especially the one above...

 

[Alumni]

7 pages of cats mostly bitching about .83 cents a month. You have got to be fucking kidding me.

 

[P03t]

HNIC, I have no problem with hitting you off as long as you take my advice about Brothers and Sisters and PayPal (I'd send you $100 every once in a while as long as I don't have to send a money order or do some risky online shit). But there are ways you could make money off of this crazy hit count you get and you need to listen to them.

plz tell me thats a typo....

 

[parisian]

wow
didn't you repeat many times the board will always be free
i don't think it's gonna work
plus i'm overseas, and i'm not taking any risk with paypal or any credit card payment
sorry

i and many other posters been saying this....but i never got an answer....cats just donating for the hell of it...they can be other ways to resolve this....

 

[Adam Knows]

It's only 10 dollars a year .... no problem
I spend more than that on lunch every day...
So I know all these big money makers on the board can give at least
that much

10 a year or even 10 a month that shouldn't be a problem to nobody...

half y'all niccas need to skip a meal anyways.....

[MICROJUBEI]

hey, why not $10 for the year or $1 A MONTH - with no free months - and do this out of the blue.....one day kats will come to BGOL and they will get a screen telling them to drop $1 a month or $10 for the year


part of the charm of BGOL is that its fully free.........but it does cost to keep a site running


HOW LONG UNTIL THE PAY TO PLAY PLAN BEGINS?

 

[eagle force]

10 bucks a year?
no problem

 

[Mr Matt]

why The Fuck You Trying To Take Food Out My Family Mouth With This Bullshit? I Ain't Paying Shit, I'll Go Somewhere Else

bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[gene cisco]

As in my original post...................83 fucking cents a month?

All you "40k a year aint shit, I make 100k" muthafuckas bitching?

All you "I ride foreign cars" niggas bitching?

All you "buy property, EFhutton investing" muthafuckas bitching?

83 cents a month. I thought I was a frugal bastard but some of you cats are crazy.

 

[FOSHOO45]

!We Aint Going Nowhere!​

!IT'S BGOL 4 LIFE!​

with that said i'm in FOSHOO

 

[Mad Genius]

Fuck it...I'm with it. Even with Blunt around...10 bucks is still worth the price of admission. I ain't going no gotdamn where!

Wrote a song about it...like to hear it? Here it go.

 

[bankz]

I am new to the shit but i defiently would pay the 10.00/mo, that aint shit.

 

[FamoBenton]

Sorry fam. I'm not paying to go on a message board. Thats all there is to it for me.

Exactly.

It's been real...

nigga dis board aint the best board on the net, its about 10 other boards just as good if not better, and none of those boards you have to pay and they got twice as many members as this site.

It pains me to say this.

PM me those sites.

7 pages of cats mostly bitching about .83 cents a month. You have got to be fucking kidding me.

It's not about the money. As much as people love BGOL, the idea of paying for access to a message board is absurd to some people. Me included.

As in my original post...................83 fucking cents a month?

All you "40k a year aint shit, I make 100k" muthafuckas bitching?

I've read thru the whole thread, and there's very few people 'bitching'. The tone of the people who disagree with it is more similar to QwietStorm's post. They just don't wanna pay for a message board. No bitching involved.

I'll pack my bags and be out of here in 2 months. It's been great, but I guess it's over.

 

[Big_Sarge]

.....At first I was like fuck this I aint paying $10 bucks for shit....





I thought about it and remembered I paid $25 to get a rapidshare acct to download all the programs, music, and porn that I get from here. So count me in...plus I am too lazy to find shit on the net when it is available here.

HNIC the only thing I would like to see was what WorldEx posted in another thread. With all the people donating to cover the "board" expenses. If you have extra money after paying the bill roll it over for next months bill....
