I cant see whos visited my page no matter how many times I try and its really pissing me off....become a premium member, fuck that! I say buy a bigger server ADMIN!
Never had that prob myself lol. Just pay abit geeeez, it costs fuck all, its a simple equation as LF said. Free has to stop sometime. Everyone gripes about the site but how is this for a suggestion.... support Admin and it will be better . Ps I dont even come here much anymore but will have a membership as long as Admin keeps it going cause its always a nice place to come back to and hell there ARE some really awesome and REAL people here.... just sayin
Bottom line, this site would cease to exist unless someone was paying for it.
I agree that posting pictures is an integral part of the site's function and without them it would also cease to exist. However, the pics don't pay the bills.
And you believe that to take away that option will make more members to pay the membership?
If so I think you're mistaken.
I believe that opposite. Since I don't know who visited my site I do not visit theirs and can't be thankful to them to visit my site.
Bottom line: traffic on this site goes slowly down....
And if you remember I started that topic ones, invest my 20 points in it and topic has been deleted with no points in return.
There I suggested that this option could be a reward to the verified members.
I wouldn't say that we necessarily disagree, but I think we are arguing from different perspectives. This topic is personal to me in that I once ran a small social website that focused itself around a particular music group. Message boards much like this forum and other interactive features. The site generated zero revenue for myself and was paid for 100% out of my back pocket. It started as a hobby of mine and I enjoyed supporting the band in doing so. As the band's popularity increased, so did my site traffic. While I found it exciting, it also increased my costs significantly. I received no monetary support from users despite my humble requests for donations. Instead I spent most of my time updating, fixing bugs and sorting through notififications that read exactly like the member who started this topic.
In the end, I closed the site as I was no longer willing to fork over thousands of my own dollars monthly for site maintenance. The out lash in neighboring forums was astounding to me. I was nothing short of Satan himself for refusing to keep the site running. I realize some of it is out of ignorance not realizing that this type of thing does require funding to maintain and it can be substantial.
It seems to me that these arguments have ignored the revenue from advertising. A great many 'free' sites, from large web mail providers to smaller 'adult' photo/video and forum type sites, remain mostly 'free' because of advertising income, I believe.
Explain how that can be: "entitled to something for nothing".

See ... we can disagree too ...
