Post POP UP ADS

WHy did you close the topic? I understand you have server costs, but you cant pay for them WITHOUT pop up ads? All the rest of the companies advertising on this board on here for free? When I first started coming here there were no pop up ads. Every 3rd time I click ,a pop up appears now. I Appreciate you making A "I am god on this site, take it or leave it" statement and closing the topic. As many companies, people, sites do when they are doing well. Well you know the whole world revolves around customer service. When the money is good, or you stop enjoying it or both, statements like that are made. This is a great site, you have done well, just remember what got you here, the people who COME here not the advertisers The people came first, thats why you HAVE advertisers.

Thanks for listening.
Close it if you like.

So are you saying you are gonna send them a monthly check for $2500 so they can get rid of them?

C'Mon... I mean, all you anti-pop up guys need to get over it.

It's not that big of a deal.

Because I answered it. It is not open to debate.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">I understand you have server costs, but you cant pay for them WITHOUT pop up ads?
</font>
Nope. Where is your site that transfers over 500 gigs monthly through a business class server and connection? How do you do it?

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">All the rest of the companies advertising on this board on here for free?
</font>
No, but we need all the help we can get.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">When I first started coming here there were no pop up ads.
</font>
There are now 30,000 people here. More people = more bandwidth = more server costs.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Every 3rd time I click ,a pop up appears now.
</font>
So close it. One click, done. Big deal. You click your mouse hundreds of times dauly, what is a few more? Better yet, how about helping out and clicking one or two? I guess you would rather compain about something you get for free.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">I Appreciate you making A "I am god on this site, take it or leave it" statement and closing the topic.
</font>
Nice cheap shot. Got you nowhere.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">As many companies, people, sites do when they are doing well.
</font>
Who said we are doing well? We spend our extra time running it at absolutely no cost to you. What do you expect us to do? Lose money by running this site? We don't even make any money. We break even when we get lucky. That is the honest truth. If we made any money from this site, would my project car be down for going on 3 years? Not a chance. And even if we DID make profit from this site, don't we have a right?

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Well you know the whole world revolves around customer service.
</font>
Customer service? Fine. You are not happy witht his site? Just let me know and I will give you double your money back.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">When the money is good, or you stop enjoying it or both, statements like that are made.
</font>
You assume far too much and I beg your pardon, but you have absolutely NO idea what you are talking about.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">This is a great site, you have done well, just remember what got you here, the people who COME here not the advertisers
</font>
So who is going to pay for the people coming here? Us? Out of the money we make from our day jobs? Sorry, but that money goes to my family.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">The people came first, thats why you HAVE advertisers.
</font>
Wrong agian. The only reason we have advertisers is because this site costs money to run. It is not free, at least not to us.

We won't lose money out of our own pockets because someone doesn't like the way we run it. We put more time into this site in a day that we do in our own day jobs.

So yeah, take it or leave it. I don't know what you expect us to do, but like I said, this is not open to debate.
