taking back R3v

[travish325]

requiring money for quick registration, blanketing the forum in advertising.. sorry that will never make sense to me.

We require nothing.

But asking people to donate to your private paypal account makes sense?

I like to say I donated to r3v.

Whats the difference? Google pays me, or the advertisers pay me, or in this case members donate to me.

I post the numbers it costs to run this site, I'm 100% public with how we make money, how much we make, and everything those ask.

I fail to see the comparison. I have no need to pocket the money and run, the site costs money to run, this money is going toward that.

It seems like you just enjoy the game of argument.

I will be donating once my paypal account looks a little better lol
R3v has brought me plenty of revenue, I would love to give back.

Donated. I should have some cash to give you at the Picnic, James.

I'd also be in for $5 or so p/ month...LMK

No just funny how you all give e30tech shit for yearly dues, but turn around and ask for money to run your site.

Like this^ 5 bucks a month or 60 a year, But the people here whine and complain about paying 15 bucks a year to be on e30tech?

^Apples to oranges.

The difference between having to fight tooth and nail to get new users approved and having active and pro-active administrators that have issues solved same day, if not within hours. How many posts have we seen on e30tech of new hardware being installed?

Theres no fighting, pay 15 bucks and you are activated. From the looks of it things will be like that here soon anyway.

You just love arguing don't you.

I CONTINUE to give E30Tech shit for yearly dues, required payment for fast registration, etc. That is something I won't do. Nor will I EVER REQUIRE payments to be a member of this site.. that is something I will stand behind.

Nope, it will not be like that here. People who want to donate can donate, people who don't want to, don't have to.. simple as that, no special benefits, no special *I DONATED* title, nothing.

What happens when people stop donating or don't donate enough? Does the site die or will you go back with google?

I don't really see that ever happening around here.

I go back to paying for the site out of pocket like i started to.
