@brad, maybe there should be a charge for posting more than 10 polls a month though 😛 ---

shares is a good idea. i wouldn’t be opposed to the idea of advertising to generate a bit more cash for djtt either. no harm if there’s audio product ads, or even ads for artist/label releases. so long as they’re tastefully integrated into the website’s design without it being a pain in the ass. ---

I seem to remember that the article announcing that the blog was going to be overhauled a while a go said they would be including ads. ---

I’d be up for a one-off donation, $20 to a good cause never did any harm. Shares are something I would also be up for looking into, as I agree that the company is only going to grow. ---

shares would be better.. being able to own a percentage of the site.. and itd give your donation an actual worth… meaning you’re not just giving your money away, you are getting something back for it… something like 5 dollars a share… ---

i think shares is a brilliant idea, $5 a share is quite a bit but definately worth it, the only thing is what sort of initial admin would it need to go public, either way, shares or voluntary donation, im in. ---

then again for shares… we would need some kind of legal agreement, something that states what the shares are in… would be nice for djtt to grow to a massive worldwide industry developing its own controllers almost like akai… with its own retail stores all over the world… then get bought out by a big company for a couple million so my 5 dollar share turns into like 50,000 dollars 😉 thatd be an ideal investment 😮 but we’d need to find out what our investment would be in first… as a non profit site.. if its just to help run the site it means if it goes bust we get nothing back 😞 just pay some guys wages for a while. ---

I would donate, wouldn’t like the site to be selling shares tho. ---

sounds like a good idea.. techtools just needs to make an official announcement and get a paypal account 😉 ---

Is anyone else in favour of ads? The standard NI, denon etc ads are unobtrusive, tailored to our interests and would provide a steady long term income rather than a a small burst of donations that dwindles off. ---
