akel Posted July 23, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Can someone explain how this board is funded? Who, for example, pays the moderators? Who is paying for the hosting of the site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wennfred Posted July 23, 2005 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I would guess through Group Cruises and the Cruiselines. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immargaret Posted July 23, 2005 #3 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I believe the moderators are volunteers. Some funding may come from the merchandise they sell, or the advertisments at the top of the page. I'm pretty sure NCL doesn't fund them at all, since they have no formal agreements with them like they do other cruise lines (for their meet & mingles).

No problem paying the moderators - they work for free :eek: Who pays for hosting - the ads !!!! Don't think anyone is getting rich hear. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnql Posted July 23, 2005 #5 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Can someone explain how this board is funded? Who, for example, pays the moderators? Who is paying for the hosting of the site? Ads, ads, ads. The moderators are not paid. The owners of the site pay for the hosting. I don't know this for a fact, but who ELSE would pay for it?

Rare Host CMLA Posted July 23, 2005 #6 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Pay? What's that? LOL I'm not paid. But I like the idea of being paid. :D I don't know the answers for sure but I'd guess that the advertisements pay for the site. Write the board administrator at community@cruisecritic.com. She can answer your questions. Also, CC is part of the much larger Independant Traveler. Maybe that's where funding comes from? I don't know for sure. I do know for sure that the cruise lines don't pay for it unless they're included in the advertisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
