User Poll Update ...

Since publishing the initial results of the User Poll I’ve been running online another 25 votes have been cast so I thought it may be useful to publish an updated set of results for those that are interested.

In total, 207 people (189 of them Club members and 18 free users) have now participated in the poll up to the point at which time these updated results were compiled earlier today.

These then are the latest set of figures based on all 207 votes.

When asked how much they would be willing to pay to subscribe to ipernity each year to help secure the site's long-term future, 6% said £00.00; 9% (+1%) said £25.00; 37% said £50.00; 31% (-1%) said £75.00; 13% (-1%) said £100.00; 4% (+1%) said £125.00; and 0% said £200.00.

Interestingly, this suggests that 48% (-1%) of respondents would be willing to pay £75.00 or more per annum, which is more than 3 times the current subscription rate of £19.99.

Next, when asked if they would be willing to make a one-off payment to a crisis-fund were such an initiative to be launched to help save the site, 49% (+2%) said "Yes"; 19% (-1%) said "No"; and 32% (-1%) said "Maybe".

This suggests that 81% (+1%) of respondents would support or at least be open to the possibility of supporting such an initiative - although it’s important to keep in mind the fact that many did say they would be reluctant to make such payments to the existing owners without significant assurances over the future of the site.

Thanks one again to everyone for their support and please note that I am copying these updated results to Christophe directly so that Team Ipernity can study them.

As before, if I hear anything back that I can share with the wider community then I will obviously do so at the earliest opportunity.

Best wishes

PAUL
