How does E90Post.com support itself?

ksfrogman · 12-18-2005, 05:17 PM

Where do funds for this website server, maintenance, etc. come from?

cdheaven · 12-18-2005, 05:22 PM

good question. there really arent sponsors. at least yet.. it seems like one or two dudes that does most of the work. and then a few volunteer mods in each forum. and websites are cheap now a days, right?

tctic · 12-18-2005, 05:36 PM

There's that tirerack advertisement link which E90post would get commisson on under the tire/wheel forum. Don't know how much that helps.

Mark · 12-18-2005, 05:46 PM

Yup, thats right. Pretty much Jason and I pay for the site ourselves and manage ourselves. Its all about E90-love in the end so thats why we do it :rocks: :rocks: Sometimes it would be nice if we had more money so we could send everyone 10 stickers each, but we do the best we can.

As for the tirerack banners in the wheel/tire section, they defiantly helps us out with paying for the server. We get a commision paid back to us, so if you guys ever make wheels/tires purchases, please make it through the banner to show the support.

cdheaven · 12-19-2005, 12:55 AM

awe.. thanks guys.

BellasBmw · 12-19-2005, 01:21 AM

Without you guys, i wouldnt have met such good people(

TYW · 12-19-2005, 01:28 AM

Many thanks!

This site has been invaluable. You guys really deserve a big "THANKS" from all of us!

Asiann · 12-19-2005, 03:31 AM

Another thanks to both of you! It would be impossible to get together and talk in general if it were not for this site. Doing a good thing here

Cory1000 · 12-19-2005, 09:33 AM

Why dont you guys setup a paypal accout that people can send $$ if they want to. I know I would, when I got my e90 and found this site, my daily browsing for porn went way down and my browsing on e90post.com went way up!! lol

Also, If you guys ever need anything computer related, I work for IBM and could get a discount. Plus im sure there are other people on this site that could help out through where they work with stuff.

Hey thanks for the offer of $$ Corey. Your always offering to help and believe me its much appreciated by J and I. We dont really want to take any money from anyone, as long as people are happy and the E90-scene is growing and alive we're happy. The E90 wasnt well recieved at first by other BMW fans but I think us E90 owners are going to be a big part of the BMW scene just because we are so tight.

icedragon · 12-19-2005, 03:37 PM

Does it help if we just click on the TireRack banner and look around?
Or do we have to make a purchase?

Without Mark & Jason this thriving international e90 community just wouldn't be what it is today- one FANTASTIC site!

I'd be quite happy to Paypal something for your efforts.

Here's a clear turn indicator from another part of the forum, just to say thanks from the UK members!

zdognaylor · 12-19-2005, 05:32 PM

Great site guys we appreciate the hard work.

cdheaven · 12-19-2005, 07:42 PM

i was just thinking about how you guys really should set up a paypal account. not to ASK for money, but just so people know if they want to throw some your way, its an option. PLUS the money could go to numerous things, not necessarily just in your pocket. people might donate some money knowing it will help EVERYONE get e90post stickers for their car. then we know EVERYONE on this site will be spotted around town. or money towards a better server or something(i dont know anything about this www technicals). etc etc. just an idea.

I thought of that myself. I´ve ever wondered how the stickers sent out to the world would be financed. You really should think about setting up an account, count me in.

And most importantly: Thank you Jason, thank you Mark for creating my favorite website.

And of course thanks to all the nice people around here.

CardinalZeus77 · 02-05-2006, 10:11 AM
