Hey reactor worker, I thought my name was up in the OP mispelled, now I know that Kalphiter didn't put me on the list.

I believe he wants to join, but he is not on the OP. Are you going to let him join Kalph?

How am I not "letting" them join if they best they give me is a "maybe"?


I'm beginning to lose patience in waiting for this service. If you can't be flexible enough to work with less than 10 people, then how is this idea ever going to get off the ground? Either find a cheaper machine/host, alter your pricing structure, or decrease any margins you have.

In a week I will withdraw my offer of joining. You have until December 14th.

I don't think it will - not for any reasonable length of time. Once someone drops out, Kalphiter is left to pay their part of the bill and if a second were to drop out, he'd cancel it altogether. I've got a neat plan which would allow me to offer this service even with just one subscriber - I think it'll be a more effective approach.

Actually, 9 kinda works... but I definitely know there is a spare person somewhere.

I think the main reason few people are willing to pay is because few people assume it will work out. A lot of people just think this is something they can do at home, when they can't. This is why I suggested to kalph that he run a high powered server with 60 players, like he did earlier in the year, and put and advertisement for this. That way people actually know that it works and what it is capable of. If I didn't know what it did and didn't get to experience it, I doubt I would pay either.

I can't yet, but I will be able to pay 5 a month after christmas

FIRST TWO MONTHS: $15.00 / month

ALL OTHER MONTHS: $10.00 / month

This most likely means the extra $10 you spent on the first two months will be payed back to you.

This, my hosting on my VPS expires in a bit, and I'm looking to choose a new plan.

I don't mind paying out of pocket until more people buy.

I just need these maybes turned into a yes.

Decision: will collect money soon
