I just wanted to make an announcement that zoklet.net will soon be moving hosts. I plan on making the change this week.

The new host will have several new features that were not available before. We will have a firewall with advanced ddos protection (yay!), we will be able to host "adult content" should we choose, we can host torrent trackers, and we can also host IRC servers and IRC bouncers. For those of you in the US, you will have much faster loading times as well (I get a latency of about 20ms - compared to our current 130ms).

To help pay for the new server I've considered several options:

1) Selling web space. I haven't come up with prices yet, but I'm thinking 5-10 dollars a month for hosting and/or subdomain leasing (yoursite.zoklet.net)

2) Selling email addresses. I haven't come up with prices for this either, probably 3-5 dollars monthly for an @zoklet.net email address.

3) Co-ownership. I'm leaning heavily towards this option at the moment. I have several trusted friends/moderators who said they would be willing to pay up to half of the bill for "equity" in the site - meaning they get a say in how things are run. DON'T PANIC! I don't intend on letting just anyone do this - only people who I've known for at least a few years and who I trust wholeheartedly. ie: You don't have to worry about driveby owning part of the site or anything...

4) New ads. I've talked to several folks about buying ad spots around the site. The problem we've had with ads before is that most commission ad places (like adsense, adbrite, commission junction, etc) do not like our content and close our contracts. This is why I plan on contacting these website owners individually instead of through a middle-man website.

5) Donations. They're always welcome :)

For those of you worried about down time... I am going to try and make the change as smooth as possible. Hopefully nobody will experience more than a few hours of down time. Here's my plan:

[nerdy stuff]After I sign up with the new host I will move all of the hard content over (all the php files, images, themes, html files (from zoklet.net/totse), the main page, etc.) to the new server. Then I will shut down the BBS on THIS server and copy the database to the new server (could take several hours). After the database copy is complete, I will change the DNS information to direct zoklet.net to the new server instead of the old. I must shut the bbs down during the database transfer so that we don't lose any posts that are made during the transfer.[/nerdy stuff]

Like I mentioned in the last thread, I'm not sure that's a fantastic idea considering the kind of content a lot of users here are likely to post, but good job otherwise.

One thing I forgot to add to all of that was that it's fixed now and so is another small bug that I found that Zok has to hack out. I'm quite sure that once we switch servers that I'll be testing again to see if I can knock the server offline again.

10x doesn't necessarily mean the number of actual users in the context I used....instead the potential INCOME from the users that were fresh off the Totse merge.

Do you know ANYTHING about marketing demographics, and who has the most disposal income to spend money frivilously? Hint for you Snoopy: it is NOT the Kavalcade of Kidiots and their never ending HB-tardness....that are lucky enough to steal $10 off mommy for a blunt.

You do know why Jeff shut down totse, right? Money. Totse was making more negative money than zoklet could even TRY for. I spoke to Jeff about it as he was shutting the site down - I asked if I could buy the site from him. He informed me that it was simply not worth it. Users never click ads, the affiliates that this sort of site attracts don't pay out, and the servers are VERY expensive. Not to mention the regular ddos attacks, law suits, and other legal fees.

There's no viable way to make money on a site like this outside of donations or entirely alienating the user base (popup ads, paying for accounts, etc). Clearly you think you could do a better job, but I think you fail to understand that so many of these factors are entirely out of the admin's control. Having lots of members does not magically make you money. So please, if you think you can get users to click ads, go and work your magic - I'm waiting. Otherwise quit bitching.

Also... By no means am I complaining about the fact that we don't make money on the site - I'm just trying to keep the users in the loop about what might be happening with the site - something Jeff never did. When I accepted all these members to the site, I was expecting to pay at least a hundred per month. But go ahead and keep complaining about the fact that I've spent 110 dollars of my own money every month to keep the site open. How much have you donated? Oh right... clearly you care.

Those who volunteered to pick up some of the bill are doing it because they WANT to - they were excited at the idea. They know from the beginning that zoklet would not be making money. In fact, Trueborn made his offer over a year ago - I just never took him up on it until now. The ONLY reason the site is still open is because I want it to be. If I cared about losing money, I'd have pulled the plug months ago. I do this because I enjoy it - not because I expect to make mad money off of it...

Talk about ungrateful.

Zok
02-22-2010, 06:54 PM
Also, the idea behind selling webspace or email addresses is not to give people awesome services but to give SOMETHING back for those willing to donate on a regular basis. It's like in highschool when you had canned food drives. The class that brings in the most canned food wins a pizza party. Of course the canned food is worth way more than the pizza - but that's not the point. The point is that you're giving away food (or money in this case) and receiving something in return as a sign of appreciation.

I also run a REAL webhosting business if anyone is interested - but money will not go to zoklet.

You do know why Jeff shut down totse, right? Money. Totse was making more negative money than zoklet could even TRY for. I spoke to Jeff about it as he was shutting the site down - I asked if I could buy the site from him. He informed me that it was simply not worth it. Users never click ads, the affiliates that this sort of site attracts don't pay out, and the servers are VERY expensive. Not to mention the regular ddos attacks, law suits, and other legal fees.

There's no viable way to make money on a site like this outside of donations or entirely alienating the user base (popup ads, paying for accounts, etc). Clearly you think you could do a better job, but I think you fail to understand that so many of these factors are entirely out of the admin's control. Having lots of members does not magically make you money. So please, if you think you can get users to click ads, go and work your magic - I'm waiting. Otherwise quit bitching.

Now, I would have paid for a @totse.com email address, but Zoklet? No thanks.

Provide a real incentive to donate and I will.

Again, you're missing the point. There IS NO incentive to donate - that's why it's a donation. The webspace/email address is just to show our appreciation.

And for anyone who doubts zoklet's current financial situation...

We currently owe 158.61 GBP (great british pounds) to deus - he can verify this. We've got a spreadsheet with the last year and month's server payments and bills. The last time we had positive money was on april 14th of last year when we had just over 7 pounds.

But like I said when we first started accepting donations: If you think I'm stealing the money then don't donate.

I think you misunderstood - when I said "affiliates" I was referring to companies who were willing to advertise with us - not people who visit the website. Ad affiliates never like to be associated with sites like totse or zoklet. I've applied to countless sites on commission junction (cj.com - the BEST in the business) - all denied. Google adsense canceled our account - adbrite too. If you haven't noticed, the only ads we DO have are for tshirt hell (which has collected almost 14 dollars since we've had their ads up), vibrators, and marijuana paraphernalia (which haven't earned enough to even meet the minimum balance for a check to be dispatched).

The independent affiliates I have spoken to (yes, I've made several dozen phone calls already) don't want to be associated with the site because of its reputation for getting attacked and having borderline illegal content hosted. They're afraid of being associated with a "less than reputable site"

And yes, we did invest that 7 pounds - it went to the next month's bill (which then landed us at -52.10 pounds). Any surplus always goes to the next month's bill.

I understand completely what you mean by affiliates in regard to website design/advertising......and clearly if you keep getting denied to the extent you are, its your own LAZINESS or backwards effort that is your undoing.

Also, you ever put ANY thought at all into the fact you are so susceptible to attacks and grief.....is because of your horrific adminning and again lazy site management?

When I start generating real money then you can pay me a % of profit. I'll be investing money in safe bets on football matches. And some not so safe bets.

I don't understand why Daguru constantly berates Zok for the running of this site in such a rude and insultive manner, and then gets his back up when Zok refuses to listen to his ideas.

DaGuru, have you ever thought he ignores what you have to say because you act like a royal jackass toward him? It doesn't even matter if he deserves it because doing so still won't help your cause and get you what you want. Nobody wants to listen to the guy who constantly insults them whether it's deserved or not. Perhaps if you had approached this with some tact and patience in the first instance you'd have a different reputation around here.

I'm not here any more for Zok to "like" me...or collaborate with me...or even to listen to me...because I realize none of that will happen in 1,000 years due to Zok's stubbornness and prolific shitty self-esteem he has in regard to dealing with people that he KNOWS are smarter than him.

If you haven't noticed, the only ads we DO have are for tshirt hell (which has collected almost 14 dollars since we've had their ads up), vibrators, and marijuana paraphernalia (which haven't earned enough to even meet the minimum balance for a check to be dispatched).

What is the minimum balance required?

Also, how do the ads work? - How much do you get per click? Is it limited? - i.e. One click per IP per day? Do some ads earn more than others?

If we know this, then some users may be able to help out by simply adding clicking all the ads to their everday routine as a way of donating. With this info we could also calculate the amount of clicks needed per user per day to at least get to the minimum balance required.

I plan on donating chunks of cash when I can. Zok's an old friend, Zoklet (and my own affiliated page/forum) is a long-term project of mine, and I intend to help out when and how I can. The same is not expected of you folks, but we figured we'd put the option out there. If you don't want to donate and would rather buy zoklet products or services, that's fine: we're open to lots of ideas, especially if you don't like the current options.

But seriously - if you don't want to give your hard-earned cash to the evil dictator-wannabes that run this place (IE me and Zok), then...don't. We're not making you pay for the ability to use the site, nor are we insisting that the community needs to pull its own weight concerning server bills. We're just putting the option (and the information) out there - running Zoklet costs money, and if you wanna help, then you can. If not, don't.

Can we resurrect the idea of permabanning users (even mods) by paying enough money?

02-22-2010, 10:49 PM
First off, you can find several occasions in which I've answered what the mission statement of the site is and who our target audience is. If I recall correctly, the last person to pose the question was TJ. Since you (and perhaps others) still seem to be unclear about this, I'll go ahead and make a special page JUST for that. I'll stick it in the FAQs (after dinner).

Here are my ideas. I'm going to PM them to you to just so you don't ignore them:

1) Safeguards for donating. If I'm going to donate, I want to be sure you're not just guna ban me for some stupid reason and run off with my money. No bans, or a refund. Refund + interest if it's been a while.

2) Ability to ignore moderators outside of their own section. This one speaks for it's self. Should be an ability if you have donated. Some mods are dumb as fuck.

3) Make me business manager. I'll deal with all the financial runnings of the site and ways to make money. I'll do it for free at first. When I start generating real money then you can pay me a % of profit. I'll be investing money in safe bets on football matches. And some not so safe bets. Along with better affiliate links, and making people click on them (eg most people here are American, so having an affiliate to EDIT, a British site, is of course going to be a dumb idea).

4) Custom user titles.

5) Demod wires.

Thanks for actually suggesting ideas instead of just complaining. I don't mind criticism, as long as it's constructive. In order:

1) I think that defeats the idea of a donation. Not only would it be more work to moderate - it's a stupid solution to an even stupider problem! If people getting banned is the problem, then allowing people to buy their way out is definitely not part of the solution - it just complicates things. Perhaps we should look into why people are getting banned in the first place (in another thread) instead of just finding a way to get them unbanned.

2) I'm all for this, actually - good idea. It'll take a bit of hacking to make it work properly, but this is not a bad idea (not sure if it's yours, but OK). How does this get us money?

3) Why not just post your ideas in the Ideas and Features forum? Aside from the ideas you've posted in this thread, you give me very little incentive to pay you to manage profits of a website that gets under 20k hits per day. Zoklet doesn't have employees - we've got volunteers.

4) It's been suggested before - I don't like the idea of making users pay for standard forum features though - and since we seem to have the financial situation taken care of, I see no need to do this.

I don't understand why Daguru constantly berates Zok for the running of this site in such a rude and insultive manner, and then gets his back up when Zok refuses to listen to his ideas.

DaGuru, have you ever thought he ignores what you have to say because you act like a royal jackass toward him? It doesn't even matter if he deserves it because doing so still won't help your cause and get you what you want. Nobody wants to listen to the guy who constantly insults them whether it's deserved or not. Perhaps if you had approached this with some tact and patience in the first instance you'd have a different reputation around here.

Listen to this man ^^^

What is the minimum balance required?

Also, how do the ads work? - How much do you get per click? Is it limited? - i.e. One click per IP per day? Do some ads earn more than others?

If we know this, then some users may be able to help out by simply adding clicking all the ads to their everday routine as a way of donating. With this info we could also calculate the amount of clicks needed per user per day to at least get to the minimum balance required.

We need at least 25 dollars before they send us a check. Some of the ads (tshirt hell, vibrators, and everybodydoesit) give us 10% commission. Every time someone buys something after clicking on the link, we see 10% of it. Thinkgeek is pay per click - I'll find out the rates from Deus as it's under his name (it's not very much though).

I've got three new ads lined up that are a flat monthly fee - not pay per click or commission (yay!) - None of them have said yes for sure, but it's the best bet we have so far. Flat fees are ALWAYS better than pay per click and commission.

Warmer, warmer, you are getting REAL warm now. Careful.....you are almost RED HOT how close you are to the actual answer.


Flat fees are ALWAYS better than pay per click and commission

And again that is just YOUR opinion, and if you realize that you've made several mistakes along the way.....perhaps this just might be another one of them? The fact you might want to go *gasp!* outside your comfort level, and try new stuff never occurs to you, does it?

I won't even quiz you on why you rather have set fees rather than commision based, because after our other talks and your simplistic or wrongful answers I certainly wouldn't want to embarrass you further in front of your user base.:p


Perhaps we should look into why people are getting banned in the first place (in another thread) instead of just finding a way to get them unbanned.

*genuflects without making eye contact*

Oh Supreme Exalted Website Owner Zok,

I, just a meager user of your website, respectfully requests to have an audience with you via email in the not so distant future. I understand your plate is full, and someone of such humble abilities probably has no right to even ask you of this....but I would really like to have you hear me out on a few things.

I also believe it is a risk of sorts even having the audacity to view your private discussions with me.....as your text radiates such magnificence I may be blinded by the spectacle. Have no fear though my beloved Sysop, as I recently obtained a welder's mask...and am ready to fully peruse those radiant words you would have for me.

If you deny or simply ignore this request to have audience with me, I certainly couldn't blame such a busy and important omnipotent being to not have time for such peons as myself. However, so many folks trumpet your goodness and charitable works, I thought I would take the chance that such a diligent servant like me would be noticed for something I might be useful for.

Good day M'lord....and Godspeed to you and the entire Kingdom of Zoklet!!!

Long live the KING!!!!!

You get butthurt over crap that isn't your business to begin with. For starters...


ZZZZZZZZ @ this mornings version of your fairy tales.

I ain't butthurt about anything, and if he didn't want comments he should have made an annoucement about shit instead of posting it in thread form.

Oh fuck....welcome to 3 weeks ago Snoopy. :picard:

I have an idea, Zok:

Host adult content in a "bordello" section, and CHARGE for any of it to be viewed.

Do what I tell you: make some way for us to work on Mechanical Turk without letting anybody change the password so the proceeds can go to your PayOal. The main problem with donating is that people dont trust donating over the net.

Have a monthly Zoklet auction: sell a UNIQUE Zoklet coffee mug or t-shirt or whatever and raise money.

Have a section of the site called "Deals!" with advertisers on it.

Because people are blatantly going to pay for adult content.

Ya know, not that you can find it for free or anything in about 2 seconds.

Among all this garbage from the usual useless resident kidiots, zok, is an unfashionably pleasant request from DaGuru that you send him an e-mail to shoot the shit about a few things. If you have some time available, perhaps you could oblige. His e-mail is on his Contact Info profile. Later.

Jesus, you're pathetic. Are you his fucking echo or something? Fuck off. Zok will never listen to DaGuru because he acts like a petulant child.

Why doesn't DaGuru email Zok and get it sorted?

Why should Zok put the effort into it when it's DaGuru with the problem?

As I say, petty.

As far as I know, he emails Zok all the time but is a total cunt when he does, so Zok ignores him as any person would.

Also, once we get the new server location, I would highly advise we "pen" Toothlessjoe strictly into the Bat Country and PEOO forums only, restricting his access to all other forums, such as News, Features and Ideas... etc.. etc...

This way, we won't have to listen to his useless garbage as much as we do right now.

Eh... Let him post. He always causes lulzy flame wars and arguments, and does have legit posts in many forums aside from a few that are kinda shitty.

No, Spectral is correct. My posts in G&G, The Book Nook, Carved Outta Wood, This Just In, Making Ends Meet, etc are just awful, huh?

lol you're so butthurt.

None of these "terrible posts" have been infracted, so there's nothing wrong with them. If you don't like them you should grow up and just ignore them :rolleyes:

This is one of the rare occasions I find myself giggling uncontrollably after reading something on Zoklet. Spectral, your stuff is usually good......but that is fuckin top notch. ;)

To hear my writings described in such a way sends me into hysterics.

The main forums I post in are: G&G, The Book Nook, Carved Outta Wood, This Just In, Making Ends Meet.

Please, can you show some examples where it would be justified in banning me from them as a contributer? No, you can't.

Simply put you just don't like me calling you a fuckwit.

Bullshit. Remember when you asked fish to I.P ban me and some other users for some bullshit reason like we don't make good posts?

I asked Fish if I would get banned, if ANY of us would get banned and he said No and that I should completely ignore what you posted as none of us have done anything deserving a ban and that YOU and me should both take a chill pill..

Nothing will happen to Toothlessjoe, hes much more valued in this community than you can ever hope to be. Not because he contributes or whatever the fuck you think makes a good person, but because hes funny as shit and people like him. You may contribute but almost NOBODY likes you on this site.
