Why TDP isn't and will never be totally free -
09-12-2006, 06:41 PM
After an overwhelming ammount of topics concerning this issue, I've decided to put up a nice little sticky.
TDP will never be totally free, it could most likely not exist. When you pay for your premium membership you are giving money to keep the site up and running, without the money you pay TDP would be running on donations and they can't normally keep a site as big as TDP supported. To sum it up... NO MONEY=NO SITE Any questions or comments feel free to post here ^_^. Your sarcastic, spazzy, and smexy lover!

Ah, thank you for this refreshing of our memories Sarika =)
To tack this on, there are a lot of features as standards that they give you without charge. They could just make this a "payment only" type of site, but it has been arranged so people can be standards and enjoy some features for free. It nice what standards have and they need to keep in mind that it might not be that way on other sites.

They do make money other ways ( http://www.thedollpalace.com/shopping/ ) but that could never make enough money to support a site large as TDP. With premium, people are paying for something that is required in some sections, the other things that are for sale are accessories. If you have any ideas, I'm sure we would all be eager to hear them.

TDP could charge more for commercializing..
They could actually sell more stuff.. Um, charge for doll requests? ex. if somebody wants a doll base, they could get charged for one.. Um, um, if people have websites TDP could charge to advertise instead of having a free Doll Palace Ring.. Um..this idea is so far fetched that I don't think you'll wanna read it.. Here it is: They can team up with my dad's company, Nokia. Nokia and The Doll Palace could like, make cellphones with dolls printed on them or Dolls with realistic cellphones. People could buy them online. And they could sell them in stores, Nokia gets part money TDP could get part money. Yeah I know that idea is soooooo far fetched but if it actually worked there would be no need for premi. If anybody else has a not far fetched idea, please present it!! Nokia stocks are going down maybe my idea could prevent that.. Um, that's my far fetched idea.

They are good ideas, but how many cellphones can someone have? With premi, every year TDP collects instead of a one time shot with a cell phone.

Thank you very much for making so many of the features on this site free. I would not be having so much fun if you had made it a "Payment only" site.
