I have some TF auctions going up on eBay soon. I was wondering if it would still be acceptable to advertise them in Transformers General Discussion?

Mr. Deeds...further proof that John Turturro is adept at pwning a role. Whether it's whacking on a gangrenous foot, or being "lubricated" by an angry alien robot...the man's a winner.

You think Ryan advertises for those toy websites on here for free? I dont freakin think so. They pay him for advertising space. And im sure its a large enough amount to cover seibs expenses and then alot more.

Shhhh!

Don't let him think you're on to him.

OK
I know some people are upset about this decision of closing Carbombya but let it rest for now.
It is closed and being looked into.
I am locking this down because at this point it it literally beating a dead horse.

If it returns you guys will know.
Announcements will be made.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to PM me.

Heck, they could force Ryan to sit in court for a couple days to provide some sort of testimony...it sucks, but it happens. I can ask my friend who is a lawyer in Miami, but Im pretty sure they can drag Ryan into court to provide info.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. I'd like to avoid that. No amount of disclaimers can prevent the scenario you mentioned above. I'd rather just not deal with it.

Ryan makes money off of us. It may not have been his intent from the start, but it is happening now. And I dont blame him. But I say if you're gonna make money off us visiting the site, give us what we want on the site.

Because we could all just as easily go somewhere else. We don't want to, but we could.

Google Adsense doesnt pay that much, and I doubt those private sellers do. We suck up alot of bandwidth, so he should be allowed to pay for it. I wish he would have click throughs to Amazon, Target, WM, etc. At least it will fund the site better.

Click throughs to Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc is not where the money is, promise. I gave up a lot of my personal life for the past 7 years to make this site what it is today. I spent about 30 to 50 hours per week working on this site for many of those years. I made a lot of personal sacrifices to make this happen. Seibertron.com does pay for itself.

Yes, that is what disclaimers are for, to re-direct any responsibility from you and to the other parties involved.

Of all the times people have fallen in the skating rink and tired to sue them, no one has ever dragged anyone affiliated with the rink to court because of the disclaimers..

Whatever.. Forget it just let the thread die please.
