Why is hollah.com requesting a membership fee? 

Hollah.com is introducing the membership fee structure in order to continue our quest 
to build a valuable online resource for our community, and to thereby help ensure that 
our voice is fully represented in the CRITICAL new communication medium called 
the Internet. If we have learned anything from the dearth of quality television 
programming it should be - God bless the child that's got its own. There is no 
excuse in the 21st Century for begging anyone to "put some brothers up on the 
wall" in yet another pivotal communications field. None.

As the last three years have proven, anybody can start a website, but not everyone 
can finish it. A serious long-term commitment of finances and countless hours of 
labor are required to consistently produce a communications portal with quality 
content and features. Take note as you travel the web. The "ad-supported" web site model has thus far proven feasible for only a very few sites with serious financial 
backers. Virtually all ad dollars spent on the web are earned by the mega sites 
(top 5% in traffic). The remaining ad-based sites attempt to finance their operations 
with annoying pop-up and blinking banner ads. Notice, that the majority of these 
sites invest little if anything in the way of quality content or features. Meanwhile, a handful of popular sites survive off subsidized lifelines from their Fortune 500 parent corporations. Then there are an even smaller chosen few, which are supported directly 
by those who benefit from the value of the site. The online dating service is a good example. In order for hollah.com to grow in this environment, hollah must be backed 
by the community we serve. 

There are no ads on hollah.com. We offer a free hollah email service through a 
third-party and any money generated from those pop-ups you see belong to them. 
We are not capitalized by anything other than will, imagination and the ability to
keep going when others quit. 

The Hollah Team motto is "be the best or go sit down." You deserve the best tools 
to keep in touch and nurture relationships in a time-strapped society. Your friends 
and family deserve to know that you are thinking about them and that you care 
through exceptional imagery and verses that will encourage, uplift, or just make 
them fall out laughing. 

I hope the two-year evolution of hollah.com has earned your trust that hollah.com 
will deliver just that. 

One love,

Jared
