What are the plans?
If I shold pay to use all the forums that I'm using, I probably would cut away those that I should pay for, UNLESS that they had something really outstanding. At the moment this site don't have that. It's just a forum, nothing special here.
Hehe, sorry to disagree mr. bateman, but in this case mnml.nl is more than a forum for you. You promote here your releases, you make a tshirt contest. I know for sure that without mnml.nl you couldn't have been able to meet some of your label artists. And wouldn't be able to have that much feedback and input on your music. Correct me if I'm wrong.
And this is the case for a lot of djs, producers, little labels and netlabels here.
This in not a board.. this is THE BOARD
What if we close this forum tomorrow? A lot of people (and when I say a lot I mean A LOT) won't have a "space" for sharing ideas, livesets, news, tips, interests and many things more.
Don't underestimate the power of a tool like mnml.nl...
Sorry, but you are wrong Isabella
Everybody on this board are on other boards too. It's true that I promote my releases and stuff on here, but I do the same on a lot of other boards too, and ehm, which artist from TTT have I meet on this board?
It is true that this board might be one of the best and with the most dedicated people, because we're so concentrated on minimal music, BUT what else than a board can mnml.nl offer me if I should pay money to use it?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing you guys. You do a great job and I love this board, but from there and to pay money for something that is available free on all other boards?

since the mnml.nl site has a lot of projects in mind for the future, we might need some extra support money for them.
Maybe if you told us more about these projects and how the economics for these are, and why this is a problem for you? You could also try with banner ads. Maybe I would be more interested in buying a banner on here when I have a new release, instead of paying you a few Euro's every month to use the forum
Again, what projects are you thinking about?
