There was a comment made at the other forum that suggested the reason me and my Admins are doing this is for the money.. Although I don't think much of what they say over there about me is worth a response, I felt that I owed it to you our members and our family the truth to the remark they made. I am not interested in politics or mud slinging games, just wanted you to know where the money made on this forum goes to...or will go to... you do have a right to know that. The Truth if you want to know it. Jack

What a load of... politics! Happily it's all over my head. Do I need to be concerned? Are there words, phrases or references that I should avoid on this site? If not, I think I'll just continue to ignore it all and hope all these talented people get reconciled soon. It would be a tragedy to everyone who uses any of these forums to learn, teach and share ideas if anyone should lose this "fight".

Hey if you guys were doing this for money you would think there would be a membership fee!....This is a hudge forum and it must soak up band-width in return for your expense of us you put up a banner or associate with a bigger dog. NP I click the banner everytime I come here. The company I work for pays $10 gig for bandwidth. Not a lot? yea it is everytime a person comes to our domain we get roughly 150K less that equals about 1000 people before we get gigged....that is why we joined Amazon.com Associates program. No you guys arent in a political race and if you were you would loose :) not enough money on those banners to be in it for the mucho dinero and selling names on a contact list doesnt bring in anything. I suggest those who feel this is a profitable venture to get a domain (thats roughly 150 to start) and buy bandwidth. Then set everything up for free (CGI classes are not cheap and it is a fairly hard language to learn) and then after 50000 hits (or 79.99 a month) tell me its all for profit. Oh the average non-porn banner rakes in 22 cents and or a percentage of a sale. I hope this site does make so cash! That way it will be around longer..... Hey Jack I think ignorant people do not understand things like money or a capitalistic society....I advise you and your Adminstrators to ban those people. And charge em to get back in. Do it by IP numbers. Thanks for making this board such a cool place to go. Local
