I'm ready for the paid site too! I've been leasing the last few new beats to show support for the incredible, high-quality music we get here. It just feels unfair to get so much good stuff for free. Pay the man!
By the way, Sho, I'll be leasing “Gotta Make It” tomorrow. Apparently someone tried to hack my PayPal and I haven't been able to log in/pay for stuff. My money is safe though.
Traffic and sales have increased and membership is @ 25,000 and growing. The forums have always been dead and 5-10 comments per beat is about right, Beautiful Sorrow got 25+
I understand the site won't be as active if I don't post beats all the time and get members involved with contests, 'artist spotlights', etc. I just don't have the time right now, I plan on making some changes in 2010 tho.
i will say this in refrence to stoping the free beats, some of us are struggling and workin just to make ends meet. so for me personally to have a place where i can go and grab a beat that i can use in a demo really helps me alot. i know i can't sell it or flip it for a profit, but it's nice to be able to put it on my myspace where people can listen to it and give me feedback on how i'm doing.
