Dumb question for Kip or rollo but just curious if catfreaks has ever considered putting on a regular tournament not online to raise some revenue for the site? Or you guys just promoting other tourneys? Just curious...

We have never talked about raising any revenue towards the site. Our goal from day one as im sure you know bro  is to have a good site with good members. Maybe we can figure out a way to run a few tourneys for the Catfish Freaks, other than the online tournaments. Is that what your asking? But Kip's views im sure are similar to mine. We may have to cover the costs, but not looking to make a penny for ourselves.. If there is an interest in a tournament <s> we will consider looking into it, if there is enough interest...... rollo |

I wasn't implying you guys would wanna pocket money lol kinda assumed the site cost money to open and keep up maybe I'm wrong? Also figured if the site had a small source of revenue maybe there would be some really neat stuff you guys could use it for? Heck I dunno told ya it was a dumb question.... dunno what kinda turnout you guys would have...it was just an idea I guess...and am definitely glad those are your guys goals even tho we all already know that...hence the reason the site is growing at the rate it is!

Def. a very good idea man! I'm not against it at all. And, to be honest sounds really good. Thats what makes this site what it is... We want opinions, and will try to give everyone what ya want. Obviously, we can't satisfy all. But, if the majority has the same response, we are committed to do what's possible to keep this growing and going! Good idea man!!! rollo |

Well in that case do any other members have any input? My only concern would be lack of turnout...would suck if you guys put all the time and effort in for three teams to show up or something crazy...my attendance would depend solely upon work schedule the given day of the event...but if free I think it sounds great...

I like the idea of an open tournament. We would have to schedule it well in advance and not interfere with Jason454s tourneys so we could get all them guys to fish as well. I'd love to hear mote input from all members. 100% payout or could even donate a portion to a cause of some type. Like a kip new boat cause. Lol jk. I really do think that would be cool though. Get more attention to the site and our sponsors.

OK so assume you could make a profit and then put it back into the site. This would draw more people to your site and allow it to grow further.....How about an 80% payout and use the other 20% to fund your monthly catfish freaks giveaways. Just an idea. Don't know how the tourney anglers will like it though.

I like that idea also Sean. For all that don't know. The message board is free and costs nothing to run other than time. After the first of the year I'm gonna pay to have the ads taken off the board which is prob only gonna cost 10 to maybe 15 bucks a month. That extra money can pay for the add free option and like you said giveaways from us.

Couldn't of worded It better myself! this is exactly what I was thinking...dedicate that twenty percent to site growth or whatever...and charitable cause is a good one too! Either way it could only benefit the site in my opinion... |
