Everyone was upset back in 2010 that we as a group didn't have the opportunity to buy TCCoA when Bill sold it..Well..Now's our chance..
Here's the deal..
We need a solid number from Eric..On how much he's asking for TCCoA..This number needs to be public..
We can go from there..
Once we get a number..Then we need to nominate a Treasurer..Why a Treasurer you ask?..Simple..
I've seen it on other websites..Where a monetary goal needs to be met every month to keep the site up and running..
This is not much different..
If we can reach the number Eric is asking for TCCoA through donations from everyone..We as a group can buy the site back..
Then if Bill is still willing to let us use his server space and server time..
We can reach an agreement with him publicly on how much he needs to be paid every month or year to keep using his server..
The Treasurer will be responsible for dispersing that payment to Bill..
After that's taken care of, and the website is back in our hands..
Then we can put up a monthly contribution graph, and see how much we need to meet our goals to pay Bill for his server space and server time..
The only thing I'm unsure of at this point is the contractual issue..
How are we going to keep the site for the people..Instead of signing over the site to just one individual??
As far as membership fees go..Those should stay the same..With the funds going to the Treasurer to be paid out when the Bill is due..
It's pretty simple guys..You want TCCoA to stick around..Then make your monetary contribution to make it happen..
What are your guys thoughts on this plan?..Anything to add to make it more feasible?
Rayo..
