Hi Lee

Did nothing come of the Audi Sponsership idea?

Made my contribution of one latte mug, should come in useful for morning coffee before lectures!

In reference to advertising on the forum, there is a Leica camera forum I visit (www.l-camera-forum.com), which is similar to Beoworld, and recently I've noticed there are adverts from not only Leica authorised retailers, but also Leica adverts of their own for the M8. I wonder would B&O not consider placing adverts on the Beoworld forum, or would it be too much of an assumption that most traffic on Beoworld already visits the official B&O website anyway?

Robert.

In all honesty, becoming a silver or gold member is better still. It is very kind that people are donating but I am keen that people get something for their money. Silver and gold members get access to all sorts of manuals including all the catalogues which we have scanned - these are fascinating and in my view worth the money alone! As I have already done the work of scanning many of them, any subscriptions go directly to the site. Always interested in manuals or catalogues we don't have!

Yes the manuals are fantastic, very much worth the money, thanks for the advice and input!

Well that was quick!! Mugs already here!! Thanks Lee!

It's the least i can do to show my appreciation of the support. I am packing and sending same-day, and i am pleased to report that the mugs are going very well !!

Thank you to all those who have shown support thus far - every penny and cent really does help, and in effect you are helping yourselves as every penny goes towards the sites running costs and development. Thank you all !

I'm all for this!
I was going to just donate $30 (don't want any trinkets), but is it equally as helpful to upgrade the membership to silver for instance? I wish i could afford to do more to contribute. I very much appreciate this site and how well it's run, what it offers and i often wonder who's paying for it all!

Thanks Peter for bringing this up. It was all too easy for me to forget how much effort, passion and time (and money) Lee has put into Beoworld to help make it what it is. Also the support of the moderators, technical experts etc - all unsung heroes. It was easy to just take it for granted so a reminder like this was very welcome. I've done my small bit by buying 4 mugs and am considering membership as a gift to a friend. As has been pointed out, upgrading membership is probably a good way to help and the benefits of upgrading are many.

Thanks Lee and all active members for helping maintain the best B&O site available.

Totally agree!! Lee for sure is the solid ground of Beoworld

Re: Beoworld Appeal

Peter — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:58:02 GMT

I agree and this is something we are looking at. However I think we as members need to show that we value everything that Lee has done for us and though this will raise relatively little, it shows that we care about the site. A site is only as good as its members and I believe this will show those of us willing to do something for the site.

Not to take this off topic, but. I think if more is needed to run the website we should look at more advertising or scale the price draws back even though it adds a lot of exitement.

I personally wouldn't mind some adds on the forum pages, hell, even a pop up would be OK if it comes once and I wouldn't get one for each click.

I do not exactly know how selling add space works but I am guessing it is possible without jumping through hoops and the site is quite active it seems.

I think this is a discussion that we should have on another thread, if it is feasable.

I bought a couple of mugs soon after they were available and they've managed to survive my mother, so they must be good!!
