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.
You seem to pick and choose who has to give you a percentage of money made. Regardless, Joe Blow on here should not have you give you squat for an occasional detail or wrench service. Guys like Capital Cash for Gold, A.S.S., sure, but not the guy with the little business on the side.
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.
rspeed.org… just saying
/sarcastic plug
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.
Occupy Shift.
this isnt a Prius forum so we dont need any hippies
Im just sick of pjb sending me kiddy porn
While you are questioning every decision we make should we start explaining why we use that server, why the used that font for the logo, why we chose these colors??

Hi vlad… Come by ass I challenge you to a game of foosball
Bullshit. 180 to run the site a year, you collect 100+ a month from the the vendors, don’t try and twist shit around, and I’m talking about big red… You tried to tell him he owes you money from may… That’s low dude
I have no problem with the site, just what you are trying to do above… Really man trying to collect from a kid who is a full time student to make some side cash.
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?
Haha question? That wasn’t even a question… actually na I don’t, rather would not put you on blast 
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.
Glad you’re happy Dave!
I dropped those cards for you as well.
thanks
Hahaha my exact thoughts
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.
Yup
