If you were Jacob

This is similar to the "If you were God" thread. Most if not all of us are aware that Jacob is the founder of Fakku. His rule is absolute, and the decisions he enforces can either make or break the community. I suppose you could say he is our God. However, even a God can't please everyone (or doesn't want to please everyone). The majority of members gives Jacob praise (+rep) whenever he makes a positive post or commentary. Then there are the minority who are disappointed in Jacob because he failed to meet their expectations. This thread is targeted towards the minority, but I'm sure the majority would like to throw in their two cents. So members of Fakku, what would you do if you were the founder of Fakku? Do you even want to be a webmaster?


Outline:

I. What would you call the site?
II. How much money would you spend to keep the site running?
III. How much time would you invest into the site?
IV. Would you cater to the members' tastes or would you just upload things that you liked?
V. How would you handle ads? How much is too much advertisement?
VI. What features would you add that could attract new members in addition to keeping the current members happy?
VII. How long will it take for you to say "Fuck it" and close down the site (or let someone else run it)?

My response:

Been there, done that. The failure of my website all came down to money. I couldn't afford to advertise the site or buy my own server. Not to mention the anti piracy spies kept breathing down my neck. It was a good experience for me though since I can now use my knowledge to run my father's small business.

I'd fix things in a timely manner.

I'd be excited about reigning supreme over the site, and celebrate by going to Fakku and fapping. Wait......

I. What would you call the site? : www.Funnyniggersfappingtojapanesecartoonpornography.com

IV. Would you cater to the members' tastes or would you just upload things that you liked? : users taste.

VI. What features would you add that could attract new members in addition to keeping the current members happy? : Free icecream.
VII. How long will it take for you to say "Fuck it" and close down the site (or let someone else run it)? : 5 days.

Hahahahaha

^ Oh for the love of God, this.

This sums up everything in one coherent setence.

This. And also try to work to get more hentai manga localized, not hentai anime: frankly no dub of hentai has ever been good, and why bother when one can just get it subbed.
The site's about manga at its core.

I'd love to see artists partnering with Fakku to sell legit releases of their works in English and other languages. Hell, they'd even be able to forgo censoring with international publication!

I don't know about replacing h-anime with h-manga, but perhaps supplementing it.

It is definitely important to localize h-anime because that is one of the view ways (aside from the handful of other countries) that will license, and therefore, de-censor an h-anime.

I'm not ashamed to admit, while not necessarily a deal breaker, it is important to me to be able to see the genitalia to full enjoy an h-anime title. Where as in h-manga, the censoring is often not as pronounced, and considerably easier for amateur artists to redraw the scene.

Agreed, but since the majority of the site's hits probably come from the manga section, I feel like the artists are missing out on a TON of possible revenue.
If I could buy their works, in boob/ebook/magazine form, I'd be willing to shell out the cash.

Perhaps, but it would also be more difficult. I'm no mangaka, or some expert on the situation, but I'm assuming most mangaka are private individuals and publishers don't own their works, nor speak for them as agents, like it would likely be in the United States. Meaning, it would be on an individual artist basis, which would make things more difficult than agreeing to some kind of deal with an corporate entity.

Unless I'm wrong and their are said type of agencies, but that would be news to me.

I would turn this into a pay site.

i disagree with iceking,
free access to the peoples of fakku forever!

LOL!

lol oh geez this is like a secret bashing thread~xD Poor jacob...-cough I'd try to fix the bugs~xD

I would upgrade the severs instead of raping them

i hope your joking...

^ This.

LOL

I. What would you call the site? My Japanese Cartoon Fuck Blog.
II. How much money would you spend to keep the site running? none.
III. How much time would you invest into the site?enough to keep it running smoothly.
IV. Would you cater to the members' tastes or would you just upload things that you liked? both.
V. How would you handle ads? How much is too much advertisement? what ever keeps the site running. anything more is too much.
VI. What features would you add that could attract new members in addition to keeping the current members happy? waar is our princess and mike! is bowser. edit:tegumi is toad
VII. How long will it take for you to say "Fuck it" and close down the site (or let someone else run it)? when the money runs out.

1. fakku is probably the very best you could come up with for this type of website. It's memorable, short, and fitting.

2. profit > 0

3. if profit > living expenses, most of my free time.

4. Cater to a majority's taste while sticking with hard limits. Which is exactly what Jacob did. No brainer.

5. No redirects. So bottom, sides, or top. Anything with a history of getting hijacked would be instantly removed.

6. attract more scanlating groups, more doujin, streamlined access to content. Jacob has already done this or is in the process of doing it.

7. It would be dependent on the amount offered versus projected cost and projected profit.
