But go ahead, be mad that your FREE ENTERTAINMENT isn't giving you everything you want.
Time?
Free entertainment? Wha?
Seibertron.com is NOT charity. The site isn't up b/c someone feels sorry for me or the bored fandom...![]()
In addition, it wouldn't be hard to imagine this nifty little site pulling in some sort of revenue or other such benefits. Look at your sidebar if you don't belive that.
Mad? Not even close. Disappointed? Hell yea. I think alot of this site. In fact, it's the ONLY TF related site I visit. *period*
Am I not allowed to express my disappointment?
UPDATE:
I'm not saying this is an exact science here...but check out dnscoop.com.

You can buy and sell established sites in the dnScoop Marketplace."
Again, not necessarily an accurate science, but if the site CAN make money, then it SHOULD.
SO, in your opinion, Ryan should be charging posters in order to make profit?
Ok, you can pay him if you want, but this is a free internet discussion forum not a company.
Isn't it strange that the posters stating that this was a waste of their time it is the first post of theirs that I have seen in this thread?
I don't know if you were guessing or not, but if you weren't then why do you care that it wasn't something larger than what it turned out to be?
First posts? Yea, I guess it is funny, b/c you're wrong.

I posted waaaaay back among the first pages. Regardless, what relevance is that?
This whole crap of beating up on people who intellegently argue their opinions is pretty sad. Don't you guys have any trolls you can go flame?
Whatever was intended by this thread/promotion has obviously produced MIXED results based on the various opposing views seen here.
As far charging for the site? I suppose that is up to the discretion of the site owner. This would NOT be the first MESSAGE FORUM to do so should that decision be made.
In any event, I didn't even state that users should be charged, simply that this isn't charity, nor is this site incapabale of bringing in any deserved revenue.
In closing, chill the heck out people, and get off my back.
