Economic Woes: Impact On Your Board
 
I'm curious as to what others think...

What's your perception on the impact that the current economic woes will have on YOUR board?

Brad 10-10-2008 02:10 PM

I'm more worried about the impact it will have on my life. :p ;)

As for my board I can afford to keep it running for the foreseeable future. If anything I might even see a spike in traffic as people are spending more time in the house these days.

I may want to hear Luke's evaluation since the guy got a clear trained mind for this...
But basically for the age range of my demographic users I guess nothing will be affected, maybe will be symbolic...

My site runs on donations to pay our server costs (and vb license renewal :) ). I've been seeing less and less donations coming in, but luckily we've got a bit of surplus so we can survive for quite a few months without donations.

My member base is a bunch of bloodthirsty, satan worshipping headbangers so they're mostly broke anyway. :D

My forumers are mostly retail slaves, so even if I went down the donation/merchandise/advertising route (have refused to do this all the time I've owned it) then I'd probably get very little.

The main effect would be if my industry (wholefoods - mostly organics) collapsed and I ended up on a pay cut or job loss. That's when it would suffer.

I wouldn't currently be too badly affected, I don't run advertising, donations or any other way of making money, so nothing's lost. Although when I do add advertising I have a bad feeling about this whole thing.

I don't depend on donations, advertising to keep my site running. It's not big enough to warrent it currently, but the economic problems is actually good for my site! We're based around people venting about things that annoy them, and the current climate is in the top ten ;)

Hopefully folks will continue to have a buck or two to spend on their boards and with me. I have, however, seen a drop in the last few weeks.

Enough said.

I lost a sale today that would have earned me $2200.00 dollars because he lost $4 K in the stock market today.

I'm not done, and I'm not through, but I'm being royally screwed by the banks, pssh...makes me want to rob one just to get revenge I'm so po'd. But whatever, I guess we'll just suffer all winter long because the people who have money won't buy because of stupid banking decisions giving people who never could have afforded the homes their in with those stupid loans.

Whatever...
