DoneWould've liked the opportunity to comment at the end, now I can't remember what I wanted to say :(
I filled in survey and found there was no spot for wish list or recommendation. Under the list of Read, To Read, Currently Reading. I would like a To Buy choice. I am putting those books I plan to buy under To Be Read but it is not strictly accurate. To me...To Be Read is a book I have bought or own and have not yet read. You gave a choice of Books not to be Finished...I always finish my books no matter what.
On the matter of charging for use of the site, I would simply have to stop using the site. I am in a nursing home which means I have$60.00 a month to spend for everything I need. So adding the cost of your site is impossible. I realize that no good thing is free forever and that it is a miracle that your team has kept the site running this long just on donations. So, I would go with the sponsored or advertising options if possible because there must be others out there like me.
I agree with Sharon- paying for the site - wonderful that it is- would result in either budget cuts elsewhere or not using this site.
Old age pension doesn't stretch to entertainment, other than the books that I buy, when hydro costs rise. So advertisements are the order of my day.
I went the other way but can totally understand your points of view Ladies. I'd be willing to go advertisements if it kept more people on the site.
FictFact has become essential to me. I would pay for use of the site. I hate ads but hopefully these wouldn't be too intrusive. It does seem like ads would be better for some of us and I respect that.
I didn't appreciate having to answer 1-10 for number of books purchased a month. I seldom buy books. I mostly use the library.

Well FictFact make's a majority of it's current income when folks buy books, so we were interested in how those numbers broke down.
To me it was a legit question. Some people buy new, or used or eBooks or lend or read free on Kindle Unlimited. We have so many reading options now that I didn't think the question obtrusive at all.

I answered a questionnaire yesterday and the question had four possible answers...none of which applied alone...it needed a fifth saying all of the above. That happens all the time that you need a final option of N/A or other on a questionnaire that won't let you leave anything blank.
Very good point. I get a lot of my books free. There are many ways of getting the first book of a a series free and sometimes even the second. And I read for several authors on their advanced reader team for writing a review when the book is released. You just write an honest review. So I chose the closest possible answer.
I would rather have ads (as long as they weren't obtrusive) than pay really.
I'm confused - why is this now have a different name - I know FictFact closed but did something else open?
I’m also confused- is FictFact coming back????
