Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.
1) There's going to be a free board, it might not be working as free yet.
As long as dipshit Dean is getting a paycheck, he’s getting money from subscriptions.
I don't believe he gets a paycheck from On 3. He makes his money from his site subscriptions.
Sorry, I’m confused. Isn’t ON3 Dean’s site. I know he used to be with Rivals. Then ON3 formed and we also had InsideNebraska. I dropped the one with Dean and stayed with Tim and Zach.
HuskerOnline is Dean's site, which is part of the On3 network. He makes money from HOL.
He is the owner of a Nebraska fansite that signed up to access the On 3 network. Basically, he owns his own business. The fansites pay to be affiliated with the network. But his comp & profit is what he gets from the LLC he owns.
In fact, InsideNebraska is truly his competitor. Rivals was set up pretty much the same way.
Thanks. I wasn’t aware of that arrangement. His compensation now makes sense.
Right. So if I understand the current situation correctly, a Husker fan that is a member of either InsideNebraska or HuskerOnline will be able to access and read content from both sites. But that site is only getting revenue from members of their particular website (not counting ad views). So really the only difference between the two is which message board you get to post on, right? That's really the only reason why you would subscribe to one site over the other, right?
Only for RSS, not inside Nebraska
Yep
Agreed. It is set up like these are any two boards on On 3 - you can read everything on every member board, you just can't post anywhere except where you subscribe.
Right. So I can see how it would easily become competeive since they are both offering essentially the same product.
Which is why he’s deleting anything complimentary of the Insiders staff.
I dumped dollar Dean years ago. Stayed with InsideNebraska until subscription ran out. You’re my only source now
When your jerking off and taking a shit…and then… someone opens the door.
The late great Mike Mayta used to warn me all the time for posting from twitter from the other sites. Dean used to get so mad because I would scoop him all the time posting info from twitter before his lazy ass would type out an article.
Wouldn’t both respective sites still receive ad money from articles they post that you have to click on. Which is the reason you have to click through 3 different links to get to an article on Deans site every time, so he can get that sweet sweet ad revenue.
