Mag and Pat's On-line Show

Brother in Law · Posted: Fri Apr 17, 2009 3:21 pm Post subject: www.magandpat.com

I am about to renew this domain for another year so we can at least still post the webisodes, however, as the site is hosted by my old company I will have to move it elsewhere and change the email addresses probably.

oh dear... is there a free domain that we can host it on... I know it may be a stupid question but I really dont know anything about these things... Confused

as it is, you guys dont have a job, and it wouldnt be fair making you pay for it to keep it going... plus looking at things, its the same ol' ppl who are here from time to time... so if the rest dont come back on here... then there's no purpose of continuing the site... Confused

I know it sucks, but I'm just cross checking the pro's and cons of keeping it going... with the major factor being the fact that you're paying for it and not many people come back here... after all, we still have each others hp # right? that could be a way to keep in touch... cuz now we dont even have an avenue to promote the site so that people still come back to visit it every now and then Sad

its quite sad lah... but thats my opinion....

The site is for the webisodes and as such I am renewing it so we have another year. I can use it for promoting various things and probably get money through Amazon Books and Google.

Hey Marty, it's obvious that I'm still having problem posting but Mag does have a point. When you first started this site, there were lots of regulars who'd log in daily and would post stuff daily but where are those people now? I came in to this site much later... when you guys were closing to approaching your one year birthday. But once I'm on board, I do my best to touch base as regularly as I can and even now when I'm having trouble posting, I still find ways to leave my mark in here but again... where are the rest of them???

It was to my understanding that the main reason you created this website was so that the family could still get together before and after the show (at that time). And then all the hoo-ha happened in that place and the show got canceled and everyone thought, "Thank God for the website" coz we were all still able to stay in touch but slowly people are beginning to disappear, gone without a trace, vanish into thin air. So now you're saying that this website is for the webisodes... but how would you know exactly how many people are watching them? That maybe a stupid question to ask but like Mag, I know nuts about these things.

I don't know, but from where I'm sitting, I just don't feel that it's fair to you to have to bear all the cost for the website which you had created for a bunch of people you had gotten to know through a radio show whom you had recruited as your friends when some of them had gone without even saying goodbye... What happened to "We Are Family"???

My words may sound harsh in voicing this out but those who have had the chance to know me would know that I don't mean any disrespect, I'm just saying what's real.

I understand that the number of users of the forum is now minimal and the Mag and Pat web site is hardly visited but I have retained the domain name magandpat.com for one more year but this could change into something completely different during that period. We'll talk about it when I am over in a few weeks time!!!

Firstly, sorry I've been MIA for quite a while...been quite busy with Life in general these past months...but I wanna suggest something.

Since Marty renewed the domain name for 1 more year so this is not an issue to be dealt with RIGHT NOW, but IF in the future it is no longer efficient, why not just start a blog? Those are free and the comments section can be used for discussion and for the webisodes, since its from Youtube, it can still be shown on the blog. Just putting that on the table here since sadly,I wont be coming to the get together in May...have fun u guys! Laughing

well... I was just thinking that should the site not be renewed, than the webisodes will not continue either...

somehow the saying far from sight, far from mind comes true here as well... so that explains the missing persons from the forum... but nevertheless thank you to those of you who still frequent the site... we really appreciate it... Smile

but since the site has been renewed, then the webisodes will continue as well lah... and Mar, good suggestion dear.. we can consider...

and don't worry, we'll have fun on behalf of you k Razz
