Personal question...
laparotomy - 02-02-08 07:51
This question is posted for the organizers and makers of Doctok and ofcourse to anyone who knows tha answer.
I would like to appologize in advance for this personal and cheeky question but, I noticed that unlike dating websites this website is free, also I did not see any adverts, so my question is that knowing the fact that running a website costs a lot of money, where is the gain here for the makers of Doctok? How is it worth it financialy?
Sorry for this kind of question but I just couldn't figure this one out.
Thanks

Re: Personal question... radhamesramos - 02-03-08 19:26 I wondered the same thing... Thanks laparotomy for going forward. But they do advertise, InSitu, the moderator advertises Electronicresidency and matcharesident. com every time he/she has the chance.
Am I wrong?

Re: Personal question... InSitu - 02-03-08 19:50 The gain is nothing but building a database of information that can be of a help to all the fututre generations.
Electronic Residency finances the pay for top posters of Doctok. As doctok starts taking advertisments it will increase the number of top posters and the amount as well. You recommend what you feel is honest and who is for a good cause. We do not advertise Electronic Residency or Match A Resident in new threads and we only answer question asked by members. Not only that, we have also recommended honest services such as IMGResdiency which is not connected in anyway to Doctok or Electronic Residnecy. Same for all of you you must recommend to others who you feel offers an honest service.
We are awaiting your reply in regards to the rewards.

Forums keeps you motivated and gives you a sense that you are not alone. I always felt better preparing for my exams teaching what i know to others and learing from what i see from others as well.
