You got a lot of play money or something?

Yeah most of us are wondering if we can afford chocolate biscuits this week or if we have to stick to ginger nuts again.

I ain't got money to throw around, and to be honest, if I had, this is not what I would invest it in. Don't think you'll find anyone willing to take that offer up!

I can't imagine what this site could be worth to be honest, but if it isn't more than a few thousand euros, yeah, I'd consider it.

As president of MusicBanter, what would be your first executive order?

Trollheart · 07-11-2022, 02:27 PM

Hold on. Are you talking about here, or the site I set up? Cos I doubt they would let this place go for a few grand. Probably cost more than that just to set it up and keep it running. Imagine what the servers cost.

Also, just buying the place does not make you president. You want my vote, I want to see blood! Armed forces storming the winter palace, bourgeouisie hanging from every lamp post - hey hold on; how did Batty hack my account?

Who knows if the parent company of MB even owns the servers this site runs on? Either way, there are recurring costs with operating and owning a website. Three grand seems low to me too.

If we are going to democratically elect our MB president, then Norg has my vote.

I vote for Batty. He will rule with diligence and insanity.
I mean, integrity.
No, I was right the first time.

How about a Batty/Norg ticket?

Batty could be like Abraham Lincoln and Norg would be Andrew Johnson.

Thanks for providing a sanctuary for us, TH. Just registered - and I like your "sock puppet" rule.

Great idea to establish a back-up site, Trollheart. Well done.
I like that it has such a simple, easy to understand format, and personally I liked the dirty colour you started with: it looked as if every web-page had been dropped into the River Liffey by accident before being fished out and hung up to dry on the internet. Still, if blue's popular, that's fine by me too.
