This website contains no traditional advertising. Ever wondered who funded it? Well a few members have stumped up for the costs so far. Recently some of us decided that we'd accept advertising for a trial period from "local" businesses.
I think accepting money from advertisers is a mistake. I would prefer that the funding continues to come from philanthropic site members. I think advertising on here should take the form of blog and forum posts as it does at the moment and that we accept no money for this.
Have to say I think Birdy has a fair point on this - and well expressed.
- the HoL Navigators' meeting is open to all.
- decisions have to be made.
- the HoL Navs is the place they're made.
- we made a decision.
- we stick to it.
- we review it, as agreed, in 6 months.
- same for other decisions (And remember HoL Navs is not setting itself up to be a super-residents' group; it's there to make a community venture out of running the site - rather than it being a comHughnity venture!)
- so, good debate. Let's go with what we agreed at the meeting and move on.
