but why donate money to a site that doesn't have content really worth paying for?

I mean, it makes sense for advertisers to pay money to post an ad on this site, because at least they may get new business from it.

But for the membership itself, who would pay money to 'just talk to canadians'.. i find it just as easy to do that by going outside or to the pub.

Most of the people I know on here that i consider friends, I know from [fj]... but lately, I've seen a lot of those people post less and less on fc, and with the derth of relevant chatter, this place can feel pretty lonely at times....

People want this site to grow, but you can't grow without growing up a little bit. but we continually go down this path of bitching and moaning anytime there's some effort to moderate this site.

While I find the board amusing at times, I feel more in line with p-51's and Gapboy's reasoning as of late. I see too many people turning away from here for the same reasons p-51 doesn't come by... and it only hurts the site in the long run.

it's like any business, a business that grows needs to accomodate the majority target demographic, not pander to the most vocal minority... and I honestly think the numbers falling silent far exceeds the numbers speaking out.

Just my opinion, which I'm allowed to have.
