dsimon writes: A few of you have emailed me about helping finance a new team at fightbeat. Unless I hear otherwise lets go on the assumption that a team with Steve Godfather Mex and Reed or some such combo is in the works. Godfather might be in a position to help financially but for the sake of the process lets clear those guys to focus on the logistics of making fightbeat work to its max. I will talk with those guys and with anyone of you who want to help contribute financially. If you are not sure thats ok, let me know you may have an interest and I will keep you abreast. You can PM me this interest and remain anonomous. Eventually I will discuss the financial partners interest in the site with the group that is taking the site over and I will discuss what Cupey wants and what is prepared to be offered to give him a few bucks and to capitolize the site as it goes through some changes. Cupey Steve Godfather let me know if you are working on any other avenues to finance the transfer.... I am doing this to be helpful but if you guys don't need it and can capitolize it yourselves let me know!
I can offer my time, but I can't offer any money. That's not to say I wouldn't in the future, but I'm living tight these days. As always, I'll do what I can for the site. This place has a ton of value to me.
We've ALL Been There, Steve-Dave...REED'll GLADLY Cover YOUR Back on Any Financial Contributions, Dog...U've Been REED's Homey for Awhile & he Likes what YOU Bring to the Site... On that Note, REED will B Making a GROUP Financial Contribution, Representing Both HIMSELF AND Steve-Dave, N the Sum of $5 American Dollars... & Not 1 Penny Less... REED:nono:
I can offer my money in exchange of some sort of participation in the site regarding advertising. I can sell space and/or sell features for local fighters. I can shoot interviews as well, I can cover fights here with photography and ringside reports too. Let me know, we can arrange a meeting in the forum chat and talk all this.
At that rate ... all you guys need is another 798 members to jump in. What do we have here? About 30-40 active members? :: (I know you were being facetious btw, reed)
Thanks REED, you always have my back. :bears: You know what? If I put my dimes and nickles together I think I can match that $5, as long as Cupey doesn't mind me getting it to him via installments.
Excellent REED! :bears: And we'll make sure every article you write is posted on the homepage promptly.........if anybody actually cares to do so which I doubt! :crafty: ::
I can buy the whole thing, but would need to rely on other people to basically run it in terms of Web design, articles, etc. Because of that, i dont feel comfortable owning something 100% while someone else runs it. Im willing to own it with people, but the most im willing to work with is 4. Anymore than 4 partners and im out. Andrew, Reed & Dsimon are fine with m. But if someone else besides those three is interested PM and i will think it over.
mexican wedding shirt is the most talented web guy in the whole world and runs sites for a living. He's your guy to keep things in check in terms of a smoothly flowing site. I've seen his work, he's incredible! Dude makes me feel like a piece of crap in comparison to be honest.:: REED is the greatest article writer in history. You can't go wrong with him. Steve is 6'5, 230lbs of solid canadian beef. If you decide to screw with him, he'll show up at your door and anal f*ck you till you say his name! Dsimon is a great cook, he can make even indian dishes better than indians. I think you've got a great team there, Godfather!:bears:
In 2 or so days Cupey will reconsider, call off the sale, then we'll wait another 6 months or so and go through this whole thing all over again.::
I've already told Godfather and Dsimon the terms of how we can make this happen. This will happen. I really feel that this is best for the site and the people that have stepped up seem like the best candidates. I do apologize for letting things come to this, but please know that I believe I've done the best I can over the years to move the site forward. Many people have helped, but I've come to realize that this site will be better served by group ownership. Cupey
