My only gripe here is that the way your trying to hustle members by making them pay you per service done when it has nothing to do with the forum, seems as if your trying to make money off members… I’m sorry but I think it’s bullshit. Vlad you know exactly who I’m talking about ---

No I do not. And you’re a useless member who loves to complain about the site or me. If a service is advertised on the site it needs a sponsorship. ---

The site isnt free, the members didn’t come from nothing. If you want to make money off the site membership it deserves a kickback. I charge less than it would cost you to maintaIn a server with this database and sponsor doesn’t have to spend years to build the database. Clearly many think it’s fair. If you don’t think it’s fair, feel free to take a years to build a similar database just to spend same or more on hosting. I haven’t made a net dime off the site yet even with advertising after all the years and daily effort in maintaining and managent. Somebody coming in and selling their services without paying is just taking advantage. I don’t see why I keep having to explain basic logic. Like I said if you don’t like the way I’ve ran the site over the years feel free to go elsewhere. I don’t make a net profit, I spend more than 40 hours a week on the site to make it best I can and I get people telling me that they hate me and the site. Stop logging in, if that’s the case. ---

Guys like Capital Cash for Gold, A.S.S., sure, but not the guy with the little business on the side. So the little guy on the side shouldn’t have to pay to sponsor the site when there’s another company on here paying that does the exact same service? So the paying sponsor can gripe about how these other guys get free sponsorship and then Shift ultimately loses them as a sponsor? Usually you have at least a little logic in your posts and prove your points you make, I’m a little disappointed in this one. ---

It’s about $1000 a year to run this site at year. It used to be even more before we switched servers. Ask Singh. So you are dead wrong. Second me and Big Red had an agreement where he would pay a fee on every detail done to site members from marketing on here. Sounds fair. He did a few, he paid me nothing. That’s low “dude” I collect money from vendors when they pay. I’m not going to disclose who else paid or not besides your buddy you mention who did not, but let me assure you, they don’t always pay. I started this site working full time and going to school full time, when I had no money and no sponsors for years. I don’t have a problem with Big Red but trying to use something for free that other sponsors pay for isnt fair. Any more stupid questions? ---

I only paid $600 and thats for a full year, so its more like $50 a month which imo is pretty cheap. I honestly wouldnt care if this site was 100% free to run, theres mass amounts of people that come on this site and me advertising here makes me money… I’ve been sponsered for like a month maybe a little more and have already made back what I paid vlad and then some. just sayin …Vlad, edit this if I wasnt supposed to share this info. ---

I also agree that people selling a service via the site should be paying. Especially if they’re starting threads about it that are clearly advertising. And if you say you’re going to pay someone. FUCKING PAY THEM. If you don’t like the agreement you made, put your man pants on and fucking deal with it. ---
