IFM on the brink of starvation (Page 2 of 6)

IFM should do what wikipedia did: put a meter on their page that showed how they needed and how much they got. then pple would really see what the need is and be more likely to donate.

and then a personal appeal from DJX, a real tear-jerker 

wouldnt be amiss to at least announce that there will be sth in more than just one (rather unobtrusive) channel to make sure people can keep the dates free.

The IFM Micro Festival The Hague 28.05.10
Keep the last weekend of May free and get your ticket to The Hague for the Intergalactic FM Micro Festival Weekend.
28-30 May 2010.
More info will follow.

yeah, a meter would help - it's pretty common on a lot of forums. if they feel uncomfortable revealing exact sums they could just have a percentage bar

Old subscription canceled and new subscription amount doubled.
Lets keep this bitch floating

They are working on it as we speak

im interested to know just how much money we are talking about here, although I understand if thats confidential. can someone tell me was CBS or IFM ever commercially sponsored?

also, to get more donors it helps if you break it down to achievable targets:

ie We need 100 euros from 1000 robots to reach our target of 100,000 euros

so for one packet of cigarettes and a pint per month you help keep IFM alive 

Paypal doesnt start paying out of itself imo....never seen that happen and I use it allot..
Also, if your unhappy about a donation you made IFM allows you to cancel the donation till 6 weeks after the payment was made so you could easely get it back.

ps, maybe an idea: keep streams free and get not only users but also listeners to pay/contribute for downloading on robotdj.net

Ill keep on donating muzak for SEER and most of my cash goes to records so I still contribute a bit at the end

I know that hardly anyone of my friends of same age is into ifm,
and I'm doing my best to tell them about it. Actually from the people I've shown it too most of em liked it and some became even regular listeners. Thing is most of them know I-F as a dj and some viewlexx classics, but hardly anything about ifm.

Then again it's way too tiresome make people understand that not only bloody beetrots and kitsune vicemag-shite is "electro", and that techno is not only primitive 4/4 music made by paul kalkbrenner and spun by ricardo villalobos. 

while we're already at the suggestion's: I really miss the clone top 10. The cool thing about radio is that it's live and up-to-date when it comes to shows, and therefore something news-like as the clone top 10 just had that cool 'radio'-feeling that you couldn't get from downloading shows.

And the lame city council of the hague should finally support intergalactic fm!!!

ditto! the best shows were those ones where IFX got people in to chat for a couple hours and to play some of their own stuff and also to play the music that had influenced them over the years. the ones with rude66, dj overdose and fred ventura were a fascinating listen. so i'd love to hear more of those and there must be loads of people still left to interview!

i'll also take out a subscription next month. i didn't have much time to listen over the past 5 or 6 months due to having 2 jobs, but that should hopefully be over as of this weekend...

i absolutely hate the thought of the site not being there...
