Dear ESATO members,

Think the time has come, where we should something for ESATO. @laffen and co manage this site for us since years, created a kind of second home, where all of us are more than welcome. The moderators share with us their free times, just to take care of the brilliant organised site. The help and support cannot be mesaured with any other place, where services and the operators would say: sorry, no more ideas, ESATO steps in and fix it for us.
The huge knowledge, the concentrated informations made this site to a kind of bible of any mobile fans. ESATO is open for everybody, not just for /// and SE fans, according for the standard of a new, free minded world.

We can here ask questions, discuss the latest news, upload images of happy and interesting moments, share opinions between each other, make friendships, adopt lost members, tease and help each other, teach and show the newbies how and why to use or choose a fone, even show the latest bathroom design in our country…
All these adventures are for free. Free! The time has come, when everybody should start to make thoughts, HOW CAN I HELP AND SUPPORT this site? We need ESATO and ESATO needs us. @laffen and the moderators manage this site, but on some way we are responsible that ESATO is still on top and the limit is the sky. We have a shop already. We have millions of visitors. We have fame with ESATO. Yes, i dare to say we, cos @laffen made it for us. As long we keep the fire burning, as long we come here every single day for relaxing, for study our next lesson in mobile business or just ask for help, ESATO will be here and wait for us.

Dear ESATO members,

I ask u to post here ideas, how should we support ESATO the best way. This site grown over borders, its an international web, it keeps us together and we should use this amazing power for something usefull and constructive target.
My suggestion: lets start – everybody in her/his country – to look for ideas, which could be realised here, which could force and fix ESATOs excistance til the eternity. Advertising here, try to make articles ( shorter or longer ) in newspapers or booklets or leaflets, suggest this site for everybody, let us paste the www.esato.com to our e-mail addresses next to our signature…
The world must we faced with ESATO everywhere! Dont forget a VERY IMPORTANT fact, @laffen want and will keep ESATO as independent! It was, is and will be a neutral site!
Lets start think and manage it together!
Any idea is more than welcome, it would be great to manage a lot of things together, for ESATO, for us and not as last for @laffen, to show him our respect and deliver an ecidence, that his idea and work started a revolution in the open-online-forum history…
Dear ESATO members,

Thx for your attention, look forward for your ideas and kindly support.

Regards, @bobafett

I started crying when you wrote thoose beatifull words Bobba!

Esato could start to sell software? Be a Handango affiliate ore a own software shop? I think I might buy some stuff.

Cheers

I think an easy way to contribute to ESATO will be to click the google advertisement banner on the pages, as far as I understand those are paid for 'pay per click' so if we all click a link at least once while we are online then that itself will be sufficient to fund esato. Most of us here use high speed office LANs so this wouldn't be a problem at all. I know its not practical for WAP users but I think there are enough PC users there to make this a success.

What you guys think?

Posted by Ayush
Good idea. But are you sure about this pay per click thing?

Can't we just do what we have been doing all along? That is, enjoying Esato and letting it grow and expand at the phenomenal rate that it has done in the past, without the need to be 'rallied' to 'helping' Esato.
It seems to be doing rather well to me with the members doing what they are doing.

Posted by laffen
I can NOT encourage your to click on the ads. That would be violating my agreement with Google.

Ya so now we know for 100% the ads are pay per click so why can't we do it. (Look an old MBA came handy in finding a funding source )

@Scots boy
it doesn't cost us anything so why don't we do it?

Extra time and effort that probably isnt needed.

Posted by Ayush
@laffen what if we still click?

Posted by scotsboyuk
@anish

I'm not saying we shouldn't, I'm just wondering why, all of a sudden, we need to be told to do things. If something isn't broken why fix it?

P.S. I definitely couldn't agree more with all those who have been in agreement with me.

Posted by mixin
I'm starting to wonder wheter I agree any more.

Posted by anish

@Ayush
There is nothing wrong if we click any way. I think what laffen was saying is that he couldn't ask us to do it as its against the agreeement

I understand that it involves extra time and effort but what I was thinking is that we all benefit from this site a lot and we all know it costs to maintain such a site with this much traffic so why souldn't we contribute and especially when such a good easy way of doing it is available

It might not be broken but should we need to wait until its broken? Laffen has provided us a clean website with no banner ads or pop ups and I think for him to keep it that way we need to help in some way. I am not under estimating the contributions, by way of answers, made by you guys.

Posted by scotsboyuk
Well I am in complete disagreement with you on the agreement issue, do you agree?

Posted by masseur
guys enough now please, you're turning this well meant thread into garbage

But isnt the site doing alright as it is?

I thnk esato could make an online store seling mobiles, accesories,thatl b a start of sumthng big

Posted by scotsboyuk
The point I was making is actually rather simple; I do not think that we Esatonians need to be rallied to the cause of aiding Esato. The vast majority of members appreciate all the hard work that goes into this site from the moderators as well as the answers and feedback provided by fellow members. Why do we suddenly need a pledge drive? Why are we being rallied to a cause that isn't really necessary?
Now I hear the screeches as people condemn me for not wanting to aid Esato, but in actual fact that is exactly what I am doing. Esato has survived this far with people going about their business as usual, I for one am not in the mood to be whipped up into a frenzy of false patriotism. If we really want to give something back to Esato then we should carry on as we have done, helping one another and quietly contributing in our own ways. As I said before, the way we have been going has served us well, so why change it?

@red-mdc

There already is one.

Posted by scotsboyuk
It's not a bad slogan, might need a little work though (I can feel a thread coming on ...).

Posted by Krubach
I don't know if you can mention the brand-of-another-scandinavian-country-that-is-not-sweden-but-finland on your slogan.

Posted by masseur
it seems the slogan discussion is now continuing here please (or shall I lock that other one )

Posted by scotsboyuk
Lock this one please.

Well, i dont think it would be hard to manage to contact in different countries several mobile newspapers or printed medias and suggest to mention ESATO in a short article or as a news flash in on of the issues. We all are mobile freaks, so i think, as me, all of us has any kind of connection to ppl who work or has got sg to do with fones. Some of us has maybe fone shops aswell, where we could advertise ESATO as a suggested site. I ll do my best to help on this way and support my favourite site. Opened this thread to hear and share opinions with all of u.

Posted by scotsboyuk
Does Esato need to advertise? I thought we were doing quite nicely as it was, although I wonder how many of the thirty odd thousand members are actually active members as opposed to people who have signed up, posted once or twice and never bothered with Esato again.

Posted by batesie
quite a few. whats the most ever users to be logged in at one time. i will be linking esato on my site, and for when i sell on ebay. (in the description) [scotsboy. late night tonight?]

Posted by gelfen
or possibly you could Support Esato

Posted by batesie
gelfem. u talking to me?

Posted by gelfen
actually no (or at least not specifically). i didn't see the third page when i posted.

it was just a general comment to those who want to help esato (and not necessarily buy any merchandise from the shop).

Posted by batesie
it would be good to raise the profile of the site i.e. theres a lot more SE addicts out there that are yet to fall into the loving arms of esato...

Posted by BobaFett
to tell the truth, i hoped for a bit more constructive support...

Posted by kimcheeboi
i send a "www.esato.com (kimcheeboi)" contact during bjacking rather than the dull "you've been bluejacked!"

Posted by BobaFett
@kim thats a great idea :-)

Posted by scotsboyuk
@bobbafett

I don't think that it is being destructive to suggest that Esatonians not be told to click on links or scream www.esato.com from the rooftops. By my reckoning Esato is expanding rather nicely as it is and the members prefer the relaxed atmosphere we have here. Speaking personally, I would be put off joining Esato or remaining as a member if I felt that people were going to start preaching to everyone about how they should click on advertising links or how they should be doing more to support Esato.
Everyone who loves Esato supports it in their own way, for example, I have often commented to friends about Esato. I comend you on your willingness to support Esato, but I don't think that it's the way to go about it. If people want to click on links or to advertise Esato then they will, however, asking them to is not in keeping with the spirit of Esato, that is, somewhere people come to chat with other like minded people and have fun.

Posted by Sammy_boy
Bear in mind also that doing almost any internet search for mobile phones, or certainly phones specifically brings up the Esato site as one of the first few sites, so in a way the site advertises itself!

A mate of mine was searching for some info for a problem with his phone, and I caught him browsing Esato, and he had never heard of the site before!

Hope that helps a little @bobafett !

Posted by Dj Boyi
Like he did before,if laffen needs any help,he'll ask for it

Posted by bionrg
I think some are mis-interpretting bobafett's first post.Some of whats said in there is meant symbolic, just go on about doing as you do and all is well.And those that do have oppertunity to link Esato to realworld activity's, please do so :-) This couldbe anything as simple/little as setting your (newbie) friends phone homepage to esato forum ;-) Thanks again bobafett for this positive thread!

Posted by scotsboyuk
@bionrg

I think you have misiterpreted the views of those who disagree with bobba here. The point that was made is that members are doing exactly what bobba suggested anyway and have been doing so for a while now. Nothing puts people off doing something more than being told to do it.
I say leave people alone and let them get on with what they are doing, Esato is doing fine and doesn't need anyone meddling with it to attract new members.
As I said in the beginning, groan ...

Posted by BobaFett
@bionring thx. I am not the type to sit and wait for asking me forg help.

Posted by mixin
But why try and help something that doesnt need help?
