Would you be willing to donate any money Brown cafe going?

[Shift Inhibit]

Dude....

What ? Was being serious. Do they have any kids?

 

[Shift Inhibit]

One person responded -- with a "can we pay in bitcoin"?

Then step up and help us out , We all know you have money stashed in the backyard buried in old pickle jars..

Plus you are getting a check monthly from the sweat off our asses.

I'm not going to pretend I'm the best suited person to run this site.

There are people with far more time invested here, and who would probably have a better personality for that sort of thing.

That said, I don't want to see this site go under. I have a lot of experience as a full stack web developer, and I could absolutely keep the site alive, or assist someone else if they took it over.

I would also be willing to contribute financially to the site for server costs, etc...

We can absolutely keep this site alive.

You have my support

What do y'all want to do?

I’d be willing to pitch in some money to help run it. I’m curious what the costs are of operating the site though. Also how much time do we have left?

Not sure, but the 1st of the month is when most peoples rent and mortgages are due….

Jeez… I have this bad feeling that I’m going to type in Browncafe any morning and it will say “Website Not Found”.

If someone is really willing to take the lead and run the site like Cheryl has, I’ll be the first to give.

“On average, though, you can expect to pay an upfront cost of around $200 to build a website, with an ongoing cost of around $50 per month to maintain it“

Just what I found with a quick search no idea how accurate it is.

It massively depends. I’m not sure their licensing agreement for the framework they use here. Then you have the server rental costs, which can fluctuate pretty heavily. And then you have to pay for an tech guy to do maintenance.

There’s just no way to tell without digging into the guts. Tomorrow I’ll message @cheryl’s daughter, and try to figure out who hosts us, whether or not there are recurring costs for the software stack Browncafe uses, and try to figure out what size servers we’d need to rent.

Aside from that, an in house tech working as a public service would actually make it cheaper to keep the lights on.

I don’t believe that
@IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U is absolutely right. The domain name is worth far more than the site.

I honestly do not know what's involved or how much expense.

But you are forgetting one wild card it could make this website for some serious bucks

That’s only one week of work during peak (gross $) .. I think we can afford

@MECH-lift probably has that in his couch cushions…

But the one wild card that nobody's going to take anything is.
Would UPS be willing to buy a site just to put it out a business or to take control of it?

Wouldn’t it be up to Her daughter who she sells the site to ?

We need to lawyer up … where’s @quad decade guy at ? I think he has his law degree

Absolutely.

I'm just saying if UPS through 100 Grand at her. And say no I don't want the money , I want to keep this place running in my mother's honor?

If they offer her 100 grand I will tell her to take it

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Exactly.
That's a rounding error for UPS
