Star Trek... Inspirational Posters?
Noryungi writes "Hot on the heels of Despair dot com, here comes... the Star Trek Inspirational Posters!. Imagine a mind-meld of Mr Spock, Despair's demotivational attitude and the Linux Distro Parodies, and you have one heck of a funny site. If you are a true Trekkie, don't click on the link, as this is certainly going to offend you..."
The hosting company is stupid stupid stupid!
Why the @#*&! do the require a password before they will allow someone to give them money!? With a hundred hits per second or so of Slashdotters getting the "Bandwidth limit / Please try again later" message, you know it would be a whopping 29 seconds before some random visitor tosses $2.95 into the pot just to see the damn page.
Ok... if they are worried about legal issues relating to authorisation from the original site creator to continue serving the content, fine. Just put a check box on the account creation page to saying "Allow anonymous donatations to help pay my bandwith bill?" and default the checkbox to "accept" while you're at it.
It's good for the hosting company. It's good for the site creator. It's good for vistors to the site. It's a Win Win Win all around.
