Post Here ONCE If You'd Pay for ATS

ATS Citizens...

In the spirit of helping ATS stay put after SkepticOverlord's post here, it might help the business to get an idea of just how many people would pay for a monthly subscription and how much. The answer is no unless you ask, right?

It's equally important to understand how much money ATS would need per month to stay alive comfortably, because that will factor into approximately how many monthly subscriptions they would need. I'm hoping we could get some rough numbers from

The content here, the pointers to documents, links to scarce finds, pictures, stories, are irreplaceable to me and can't be lost in the same manner as a fire in the night leaving behind no trace of these precious resources.

I'm asking that every ATS member, posts a single post ONLY if you would pay for ATS, and how much per month you'd be willing to spend or contribute. (fwiw - Wikipedia has straight up asked for donations when they needed it, maybe something similar here?)

Thanks in advance. There's no need to respond to anyone's posts or post here just to say you wouldn't pay and why, so I'm asking for consideration in just posting one time with the amount to keep this internet treasure.

Might as well. I’m here more than any other site or app that I pay for

I would go $10 per month, autopay, PayPal preferred but what ever it takes.

ATS has run it's course, let it die with dignity.

Be crazy not to........ I got no place else to go!

Of course

Okay... ONCE!

Did you read the first few pages of this thread from the ATS Owner(s)?

Monthly subscription won't work. Only voluntary donations.

To that end, I will gladly donate at least $100.00 today. (So long as it's not via PayPal, or things like that.)

You use Parler, too?

I'd be able to push out about $10 or so to use the site. I don't want to commit to a high cost and then let ATS down.

TAKE MY MONEY!

just not all of it.


LONG LIVE ABOVE TOP SECRET!

Someone start a GoFundMe already.

Yep

Skeptic Overlord repeatedly said its more of a time factor for them. They are either selling or closing.

That being said, if there was a suitable buyer, I’d be willing to pay $20 per month.

My god I’m so depressed over this sh!t.

a reply to: SonOfTheLawOfOne

Yes and $10-15 a month is more than reasonable.

a reply to: SonOfTheLawOfOne

Tell you what.....

ATS can pay ME.

How bout that?

Never heard of it. Is it a site?

I believe this is futile, but I would be willing to pay something. As for the amount, I'm not completely sure. I've never paid for anything similar, so I have nothing to compare it to. I saw an odd figure of 25k needed per month to keep ATS up and running, and I believe that's just paying bills, "keeping the lights on". It's a hail mary pass and I don't think there are any receivers downfield.

I pay to be a member of other forums, usually 25$ a year, would I pay more to keep this place going? I think so!

I don't understand the costs vs say audiokarma at 25$ a year, with about 288,000 members, like most forums, a lot of that is riff raff.

What's the alternative?
I've been here since 2008.I have used other boards,
but I have yet to find a site that has all my interest. I've observed that most
of the members here are coherent, fer the most part, and they have informative discussions.
I would probably donate $4.99/mn
