(Weekly Poll 60) - Celebrity Pictures?

**WillRiker** · #1 (**permalink**) 02-26-2008, 03:43 PM

So this week's question is in relation to the Celebrity Pictures side of the forum. Unlike the music videos which actually do little for the site, the celebrity pictures section is increasing traffic and by viewing the pictures it's making money for the site.

So the question is do you think that these sections are just spammy crap as some seem to, or do you think they're a good thing that are helping to fund MTW as everyone is too fucking tight to buy merchandise or a premium membership?

They are a good thing,bringing people into MTW and best of all making money for MTW.....

They bring in the traffic, and as long as people keep posting other stuff they don't overwhelm the site.

If people are to cheap to pay for a membership we have to do something around here to keep the site going for those of us that care

Well it's a start but it'll take more than just you unfortunately.

MTW is fricken huge and I'm not sure anyone realises just how much it costs Morty to keep it online, especially since we upgraded to the new server...it's damn expensive and even though you may not think it, the $10 from the premium membership or the $12 for a Monkey pack of merchandise actually does make all the difference, (and that's not directed at you Brit, that's generally for everyone that enjoys all that MTW has to offer).

So these picture host sites are generating the income that is missing from the MTW members...and you only got to look at the number of views each thread is getting to see how much traffic they're bringing in...they're not meant to take the place of the humour on MTW...just trying to replace some of the income that isn't being generated by the members is all.

The monkey pack is just one of the many wonderful pieces of merchandise available from Morty himself, all of which can be found on the following page...

When the pics were slowing the site waaaay down, it really pissed me off and I thought they should go. But now that they don't seem to be causing and issue I have noticed that the guest list is longer since the pics have been around. Any traffic is good traffic right?

I left my last pen at the bank the other day.
