Someone who has the money the time and the tech savviness to come up with something with the same format as this forum, sammyboy will be history!
I can suggest a name to speed up the popularity. Sunnyboy!
Yup! had googled hostican found in your post which you generously suggested to TOC when they were in trouble. Googled Vbullettin on my own initiative. Seems so easy and cheap. What's the catch? Must have something to do with ISP access to traffic within the forum set up!
Can't imagine why despite being consistently in alexa'a top 100, you claimed it's not rolling in the bucks! Who are you kidding?
You have to realise that running the forum is not my full time job. It's just a hobby. I do it in my free time and I try my best to do a decent job. If you feel that I have failed, then I deserve to lose you as a member as you are at liberty to join some other forum which better serves your needs.
As for being money faced, I am anything but. However, there was a limit as too how much money I was willing to lose every month had I not leased the forum out. The overheads are in excess of USD3000 per month. I don't have that sort of money to burn.
The bottom line now is that those who currently pay the bills call the shots. I work for them now. If you are willing to front up with the $$$, I'll work for you and do your bidding. That's the way the world works in this day and age.
Seriously, I find it very contradicting from these 2 statements that you are making. As a retiree, you shouldn't be working for anyone at all or even working for money.leongsam said:I am rolling in bucks but I earned my bucks a long time ago from other business ventures. I now lead a comfortable life without the need for more big bucks.
I enjoy the easy going life of a retiree and I don't want to go through the daily grind of running an on-line business. I therefore lease the forum to those who are more motivated than I am.
I guess the idea of passing up the opportunity to earn more $$$$ is alien to most sinkies but it's very common where I come from. Life is not all about money.
Ok, don't take my above comments in this posting as me trying to question your motive in life. Maybe I would also not suggest any flaws in your character. Like what you said before the truth hurts. So I will extend the same form of courtesy back to you because I don't wish to hurt you.I don't question the decisions you make. Neither do I try to question your motives in life and suggest that there are flaws in your character. Is it too much to expect the same courtesy from you?
You know something, after reading what you wrote, I really shed a tear for you. Maybe you can call it as crocodile tears. But this really comes out from the bottom of my heart. Since your hobby is already 'out of what you can control', and the overheads are in excess, and you have not been able to make money out of it, why don't close it down, rather than let others 'smear' your internet moniker on the www?
Had you not used LARGE red font, I may have overlooked it
