I already called it completely optional... OPTIONAL. Everyone seems to miss that one little word. I came up with the idea that we could, wait for it... OPTIONALLY sponsor the site as contributing members out of the good of our hearts. Now I know a lot of you here have some sort of neo-gothic horseshit going on, comparing it to FJ and FF... but dam it. We're not FF, and we're certainly not FJ.

If everyone wants this to be a retard-based community with no sense of pride or belonging, say the word. I'm gone.

I came here because as far as I can tell, it's THE premier (and only :P ) Canadian Ford Focus club / community. I believed that for the longest time that this was the best thing to ever happen to our Focus. As I've been long-winded about before, a good many members here have made our car what it is today. I've learnt a LOT about the Focus from here.

Again... if you guys want to turn this place into FJ North because you're obsessing about my idea about OPTIONAL (note the caps) sponsorship / contribution, fine. Do it.

I never said the site had to have a sucessful business model. I never said it had to turn a profit. I could care less. I was merely being a member of the vast minority of members by offering to take some of the financial burden off of Jason out of the goodness of my heart.

In short - it was an IDEA that was shot down by a bunch of monkeys in a cage because that's all they knew (FC.net = FREE FORUMS OMGWTFBBQ) and that's all they could accept. Anyone else know the joke about company policy and the 5 monkeys in a cage? Good. Replace the monkeys with FC memebrs and it's as true as the law.
