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.

it was an idea shot down because it wasn't needed Don't let enthusiasm cloud the truth of the matter... the sponsors are here to support the site, and any extra money would just go into Jay's Turbo Charge Fund™, You offered to donate at a time that it was probabaly NOT even really needed. And if it was, I'm sure Jay would have let us know (because he was kind enough to let us know in the past, and we donated)

I'm saying you had the right intentions, only at the wrong time.

And truth be told, if we were to dump all the sponsors and become a boobies-only site, I am truly out of here... I'm not a monkey, and I don't care what you think, I'm always going to do what I think is best for this site AND it's members (including you, who'd rather rag on me for reasoning than taking a step back to really think it through.
