Lights on for 2023

[WhiskeyJack]

Well folks, T'is that time of year again.



Moving forward ain't free sadly, and while 2022 seemed like a slower year then previous years we still have traffic and fees to pay.

Pay pal works the gooder-est! My Pay Pal Link here or you can e transfer to shan.peyton at gmail.com. Or if none of these options work for you, DM me and see what we can work out.

I've just sent you a couple of Doubloons. Hope it helps.

BTW, the Paypal link in the post above doesn't appear to work.

I may never get rid of the notification screen... just to see your happy face every time I come here.

I would argue we all need more of that!!!

What forms of crypto are you accepting?

None forms. But thanks for inquiring.

That reminds me that I need to finish migrating my last personal site so I can scale down my Digital Ocean instance.

(Hosting all my files on AWS has turned out to be pretty great. I play about $2.50 a month for hosting now)

Done, well worth the donation, the only sane recording forum on the net. Keep up the good work guys and gals.

I have sent money ...... you won't recognize my name as on Paypal it's Deborah ..... but it's really me

And I too will leave the link on at top since that's a good way to start the day ......


but can you change the pic daily?
Maybe a Christmas theme for now but later it could be Klingons or Gremlins

I’ll do this Dec. 9th, if it’ll still be up then.

If its not it'll mean that Shan is dead and his mrs has already closed his bank account. Bleak, Crows. Bleak.

Thank you to all who have donated! We have reached our target as of this morning. I will pay the bill here this afternoon and we are good to go into 2023 full steam ahead.


Now, in the meantime. If anyone has some good ideas for generating traffic and some new users into our community let's brainstorm!

As it is now Between myself, @Armistice and @Tadpui We kill about 15-30 bot accounts a week. Ish. All of them coming from .ru domains. Fucking Russians. But not any real new users to speak of. I don't know if we just went dark or what but some new blood in here would be really cool.

If anyone had some good ideas.

How about contacting those occasionals like the Heidleburger?

I've dropped numerous hints at HR, attempting to lure people - even invited them, and they come, and then they go back - mainly, it appears to me, because their primary motivation in being on a recording site is the social contact - chat, arguing, whatever... rather than music recording itself.

And various people here are experiencing life events which are more important than hanging around here - muttley, Alison etc. - and so even those who are here, aren't here, often for long periods of time.

@Alison has started re-building her studio - her new place looks lovely too.

See, I like the social aspect here a lot more.

Over on HR, I only ever participated in the music part of things because there were just too many people actively involved. The Cave and later Jeni's just seemed like a bunch of nattering into the void where I'd say something and then strangers would bicker for pages until I came back the next morning for my daily check.
