One thing you guys have to realise is that while we have over 1million unique users per month, we only have less than 3,000 members. All the rest are 'guests'.
Even if they are paying members, the guests will not all of a sudden begin posting, because that is not what they are here for.
Most of the funding will obviously be from guests who don't post, but that way everyone, members and guests will get a hugely improved board, magazine, etc.
That is why I want guests to email me with their suggestions, if they don't want to register and post.
Also, since we already have 1million users per month, do you think that due to the growth, if we have 20million users per month will affect the content of the board that much, if at all, when 99.999% of them don't/won't even post? Of course not.
And of course the pros we have on the board already, will be the first ones to receive contracts. Together with the mods who will be paid properly as well.
Also, think about this. Wyldeone trains top competitors and pros. He charges for his advice. Think: what if I pay him more per month than what he earns from his consultancy service? In place for that, he will openly state his theories, secrets, etc on the board. He will be happy as he will be making more money than before, plus nothing will stop him to still do consultancy in real life for people that have no access to the net.
Meanwhile, the members here will get all his great advice for $1 per month, or $12 per year! Think about that.
BTW, I am not commiting wylde to anything or putting him on the spot. It's just an example.
The more I look at it the more it appears that everyone will benefit in every aspect. The pros, the mods, the members, the guests and bodybuilding as whole.
The only issue left open is the privacy issue. But funds payments will be in such a way that privacy will not be an issue and on top of that, how much attention do you think that we will get that we already don't have? Don't kid yourselves, with 1million users per month already, there are plenty of cops around here.
But we are not breaking any laws just by talking about what we do.
And I guarantee that no law enforcement agency will have access to any of this board's databases as it will be held by one of my offshore companies, so NOONE will have access to any of the members details.
And rest assured, I know all that is required with the offshore/privacy thing as one of my current projects is an offshore bank.
Regarding that guy with the DNP incident, the story was a bit deeper. From memory, the guy that got charged was the guy that actually sold the DNP to the kid. It had nothing to do with the board.
And besides, how can anyone hold the board responsible for anything, when it will be owned somewhere in the world where noone will have any jurisdiction over it? You can't sue a ghost
