(The following is a spoof ) :roll:
It has been brought to my attention that some members are referring new and existing members to other forums. I feel this inappropriate for the following 5 reasons.
1) Since we have opened 2 years ago, we have operated at a loss.
2) I unlike other boards make a few bucks off my Banners.
These cost are extremely high and easily compare to the cost of running a small one to two person bussinssess at home. You would have to include the salaries as well.
4) I devote anywhere from 1900-2600 hours a month to maintain and protect the site from deviants and virus's. Add to this the hours for monitoring, posting, maintenance and video production and one quickly sees that this is a full time responsibility.
5) It's just downright unethical to take advantage of the forum that gives so much available to you and someone just demote it in such away. This board is free and open for the people to share ideas and get information from. I would so greatly like to keep it that way (even though I have received many emails requesting to make this a private paying forum).I put hours and hours into making sure my Bird reports are scintillating and educational. It really hurts my feelings when you post these else where.
I enjoy this site and have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and passion for MB and the industry. These costs don't even include graphic design and video. I want to continue but need your support. So please e-mail me at MIkey @ Mikeysboard.com.com and let me know of any inappropriate behavior or I'll send you pictures of Danny with his shirt off.
I'm about ready to sell this board to Jeff Cross.
