Future of Mograph

[Cutty Pastey 0]

I'm willing to donate to avoid banners as I'm sure many of us are - let us know when and where.

But then I can't taunt the COW defenders...

 

When does anyone defend the COW here?

When does anyone defend the COW here?

Not here. elsewhere - Like General Specialist, etc.

When does anyone defend the COW here?

I decided lately that the next time i post on the cow will be the moment that the first page i'm seeing is not an advertisement of any kind.

Tough luck that they pop an ad to everyone who wasn't active for some time first thing

Hey, I’m newbie to this forum as far as posting goes but its proved to be one of the best sources of inspiration and tuition for all things mo graph related. I've got some DV hosting that I don't really use for anything major. I'd be happy to 'donate' some bandwidth and storage it if it meant that mograph kept going. Just let me know. I'm sure some of the regular posters wouldn't mind chipping in as admin and watching the forums, as I’m sure they already do. [anyone?]

It would be a massive loss to see it go, or combine in any way with CC.

dunno if things got worked out already but my 2 cents, sponsorship and/or donations would be ideal. if that doesn't work then i don't mind a non-intrusive banner or two like motionographer. should watch out for the whole slippery slope thing, the Cow and it's columns of banners just grosses me out now.

"Men of Mograph" Calendar.

 

I've got September!

Just as an update, as far as I know, nobody's decided anything, and nobody's talking about anything. So it' limbo, and while it is a little silly, until someone comes along and can commit and has the tools to make it work, it's a nice pink limbo with friendly smartasses and the occasional meaty piece of info you can't get anywhere else.

"Men of Mograph" Calendar.

 

I've got September!

 

HELL YES!

Here's what I want to see in said calendar...

Govinda in a thong

Clint in a nascar nightie

Sao in cut off jeans and a sequined Mograph Pink™ tube top

Fred in his tiger striped bra and panty set (riding the metro)

Tread making his "face" wearing nothing but roller skates

And Gray Machine (aka Mr. September) wearing a mini skirt and a Detroit Red wings tank top in black patent stilletos.

 

what can I say...I'm kinky.

I guess Firebetty will be responsible for all 12 months of the "Lady of MoGraph" calendar.

And on the back of the mini skirt, it will say "wiggle".

I am willing to host and maintain the site if you need. I have plenty of experience with php forum engines. I would not start placing up ads or anything like that. Here is a site I am currently working on, which of course, would no longer be existent if I were to maintain Mograph.

Banners...go for it. Ya gotta pay the bills.

I'd have no problem forgiving this site for a few adds. The cow is a little too much, but something along the lines of www.cgtalk.com or motionographer would be fine with me.

I like that idea !! : ) I got to put my yellow butt in it ! Come on let's do it !

i agree with everyone else about looking in to partnering with mediatemple. i think all they require is a small logo.

us this sort of thing. few quid every month or so. i would happily do that i may only be new but its cool man!

 

sorry of someone has suggested this i havent had a chance to read the posts

[Ratbaggy 1]

+1 Media Temple if they still help out communities like this.

i think mograph needs an excess of porn ads. you know you want it. it'd pay for everything and more. :H

[deedeee 0]

Yea we need a mass amount of porn ads! Entertaining and revenue generating. ;P

[zedman 0]

i would participate in any way to keep mograph.net alive. like the idea of a fund and mediatemple. would also like to see a magazine dedicated to motion graphics (of course not for free), but would generate more and another sort of work.

I just built a community site with Drupal, if thats any help - could certainly offer some advice on ease and limitations of Drupal. Database migration is obviously a no.1 issue. I have a friend who is an SQL programmer and could probably do it but he has said that transferring posts is one thing, and user accounts is another. Email me with any questions if interested.

Why not charge to post jobs or get into the placement business. You could still keep the free job listings if you want. Companies could pay a little for a sticky, or front page ad, or maybe even broadcasted PM (I never get PMs and wouldn't find it annoying). It's more progressive than a banner ad and will probably pay better. People are looking to change jobs all the time. And companies will shell out some coin to look more professional on a board with this many quality candidates. Just my .02.
