Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The letter says that the site will continue, and I trust my boss in that. Whether it has a business model that works or not, it does not make sense to shut it down. Although we may not have the volume of users that some of the bigger sites have, the loyalty of Fetch users has definitely given us a reputation and a fascination within the company. I don't imagine that voluntary subs will cover the entire costs, but there are other options that can help cover costs, like direct mailouts, affiliate schemes, game sponsorship, and others. I DO NOT believe the site will go away.

If nothing else, I would image that having a userbase that will voluntarily hand over a reasonable amount of money just to see the site continue will generate some interest anyway :-)

I honestly believe you Ian, but as an accountant myself I fear in current climes that if nothing accountant gets to make the choice, closing it and saving money would be the logically choice.

Thankfully, us accountants don't actually rule the world.

Yet.

How is the t-shirt over-priced? You'd pay in the region of £20 for a technical t-shirt, making it a £30 donation/subscription for the site. That seems perfectly reasonable to me. £2.50 a month.
