Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
It's probably premature to write about the box office of a film before it finishes filming.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
It many ways it is easier to write about films that haven't even begun filming yet because you don't get sidelined by the marketing. It's a purely 'what if' scenario, and it's basically all about historical box office. However, I feel that writing about Terminator Genisys or Magic Mike XXL etc. would be better. Not that it really matters.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
So we're a month away and still don't have anyone to do the technical work. I think we're down to two options, move to Lecter's site (or another one like it, preferably American for xenophobic reasons) or fully commit to excel's plan and make this site worth hiring an IT guy for. I imagine that will cost thousands per year, so we'd need a lot more ad revenue. Excel got us on the board with his Jurassic World article. Now we just need a few more like it to gain full legitimacy. Box office will be sexy for the next few weeks, there's no better time to go for it.

These are no good options. I'll look for a better one.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
It says the article has gotten 800 views or so ? any way of tracking site traffic & knowing what that would do for revenue?

Quote: The latest installment opens next week and may produce the most memorable box office run of any studio tent pole released this summer . Nice line. I did find one spelling error so just be sure to put that in spell check in the future. Though, I see endless errors in USA Today articles so they don't give a damn but I think you should be proud of that article. Finally, I would classify Guardians as the 11th major Marvel film. Why wouldn't it be?

After an entire month of conversation Excel has completely derailed the conversation into something we should focus later not right now.

Ya know. Your constant negativity doesn't move things forward either Sir.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
It's only negative for a reason. I just tell the truth, dude. If positive things happen, I comment on those. But I don't see anything positive happening here. Excel posted an article. That's his contribution to saving WOKJ. lol. The rest have just talked about it and not actually done anything. Sorry, but coming back to the thread every few weeks to say what needs to be done is not actually producing any results.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
Alright, well Eagle needs to take 5 minutes and post what the current status is since it's mid-June. Who he's been speaking to behind the scenes as to how things will proceed. We already know we have folks interested in contributing to a fund to keep things going so it's not a money issue. It's a time commitment issue about which individual(s) will take over the management of the site.

It's a time commitment issue about which individual(s) will take over the management of the site. Only two people reached out to me: bl1222 and EZ. Conversations with both advanced surface deep at most. I had hoped for more, but to be fair, didn't really provide the nudge or direction needed. A lot of people here (Lecter for instance) have publicly expressed a willingness, but the key issue remains: Who is going to assume responsibility from a technical POV. BL and EZ seem the two best bets. I would ask that whoever is interested in taking ownership talk to them, or come up with some other plan for handling the technical side. I'd like to have a plan in place at some point in July, timeline after that is flexible.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
Just, you know, trust me that it will work out. I am pretty busy right now, but this does not mean that I lost WOKJ out of my sight or forgot the issue.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
It's nice that you find this all amusing, Algren. Sometimes I wonder why you just don't get the hell out of here, considering you don't give a fuck about anything.
Anyway, I looked into it and given the fairly small workload, hiring an experienced tech person should actually not cost us very much. We could hire someone on the case-by-case basis as we do not need someone constantly. It seems not so difficult to find someone with expertise on freelancer.com.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
OK, well it would be within a month that Eagle will exit, so it might be good to put on paper what's decided about the future of this site already, and what still needs to be decided if we want to save it in time.
There's been enough interest for the lot to donate a fair amount to cover the server costs for a year. But who will manage this? Are there any other costs to consider?
How much is needed? How and where to send donations to?
Who will be the new admin?
Will anything change? I think when someone makes a donation, they would like to know what comes out of it. Status Quo, or will the site change in someway, who will decide on this?
