Serious news time folks

As you might've noticed, mobMMS is free to use, had no ads or sponsors, and therefore makes no income, which would be fine except the costs of keeping the site up and running are spiralling up each month which is making my bank balance look rather worrying!

I've been trying to think of ways to keep the site as it is, but to somehow try and get some ££ back to cover these costs.

We had been relying on mobMMS's big brother site to pay for its running (mob453.com, but alas, due to reasons I won't go into here, it's currently doing ringtones free of charge too, leaving zero income but huge bills still! :-(

Obviously I can't keep it running this way as a negative bank balance won't keep a site up, so I've come up with the following possible solutions:

1. charge for a WAP site
   eg charge something like £1 (or equivalent amount in different countries, ~$2/€1.5) a month for access to the full downloads of vids and images


2. subscription fee
   maybe a small subscription fee for members who will get benefits non-paying members don't.


3. pay per download, sender gets %age
   But, I quite like the idea of setting up a wap site where people pay per download, but the sender of the image/video gets a percentage of the amount charged too, and that's what I think I’m going to try and set up. So the more people upload, the more money they'll make themselves! ...Although I'll need hundreds of people to do so in order to cover the server costs! But at least the community will be getting back what they put in as well, whilst hopefully allowing us to cover the costs of keeping running!

Still trying to decide about the above, so now's your chance to give your views/feedback/suggestions/ideas/etc before it's too late and I start work on one of the above!!
