I presume that the surplus is plowed back into the running of Askaboutmoney so it's not exactly "profit" for Brendan.You are making a profit running the website plus
You are making a profit running the website plus it helps your profile in the media as you have definitely been asked to contribute on the panel on the frontline so not bad really! Not bad for the costs involved. Were you paid to be a contributor on the frontline as the founder of askaboutmoney? If you were then don't think donations necessary. If not then no objections!
AAM is a great resource however.....
Brendan informed me recently in no uncertain terms that the governance of this website is founded on an Autocratic basis. Brendan decides the policy and anyone who doesn't like it can suck it up.(my words not his)
In the end of the day AAM is a community of contributors and the success or failure of the site is largely down to those contributors
I for one would like to see the policies set, with reference to the democratic views of all the community and not just one person.
Unless that changes, I would not be keen to make a financial contribution to AAM.
Ah hilarious, good one!!(I'm giving you the benefit of doubt that your post was purely facetious rather than delusional...)
It was neither. Brendan runs the site and gets good publicity as the owner of the site.
+1this is one of the most civilised and informative discussion websites anywhere- so many others are full of insults,bickering and very little information. Am happy to give a few bob.
Why not run a few banner ads like boards.ie do and make a few bob out of it, thus paying the annual fee?
Don't think many members would mind.
