I just wondered, if you guys think our forum is to cheap? Well, perhaps inexpensive is a better word. It seems all the bigger forums are charging for something these days besides just a few ads. Maybe it's a membership, maybe it's special memberships to buy and sell areas,supposedly rich with great deals, maybe they just ask for donations, over, and over, and over again. Maybe it's exclusives, some do seem to love to have tying agreements with certain vendors, to prevent competition from advertising. Those deals must pay well, huh?
Heck maybe we could start charging by the post, or even accept bids for posts! So, before you post to a topic, you have to bid on the right to. If someone else wants to bid more, then you don't get to post, lol.
So, someone posts a topic, and I step in and say, can I have 5.00, give me a 5.00. Check out the pedigree of this post, ok, this thing is worth a lot! Ok, the gentleman on the left gives 5.00, thank you for your support sir!, can I get a 10? hehe. Sold to the man in the funny plaid hat for 20.00!
Perhaps a toll bridge could work. Basically, you pay a toll each time you pass the gate to get in? You leave, and come back. Oh sorry sir, we don't stamp your wrist anymore. That will be 5.00.
Relax guys, the day we have to run HTG like this will be the day it closes. No way would I nickel and dime our members like that. Notice I haven't mentioned any names. But I felt it was really time to appreciate HTG for what it is. A totally free, totally fair forum with a member base of great guys and girls, always ready to help people, without looking down on them, without flames and without fees!
Many days I think if not the best, we are the luckiest forum online. To have Mats as tech support, good speed, a reliable server, and great members like you folks, and great sponsors!
Thanks for your continued patronage. The best is yet to come. I really believe that! I am sure there are other forums, more similar to us than dissimilar. In no way do my comments apply to specific forums, and I don't want any mentioned here. But without mentioning names, I think it's a good thing to talk about our virtues as a forum, and to look positively towards the future. Yes, a future hopefully free of special fees and other unfair business practices.
