A quick word on "Overwhelmingly Negative Influences"

[brewer]

Also I'm not sure if you are aware but we don't make money via ads anymore. We rely solely on donations so the site is technically losing money. We haven't ever been in the black so to speak.

I think that there is an even bigger point to be made here but I think Tibs is to much of a gentleman to say it so I will.  Tibs (and by marriage Shell) is loosing money here and yet continues the forum. And yet continues to put up with shit and keep the majority relatively happy/content. Goes to the trouble of having it run by committee and not dictatorship. His motives aside, I find his actions exceedingly commendable. Quite frankly Tibs, you're a much better man than I am. I'd have pulled the plug on the site or people (banned) a long time ago and with little hesitation.

Don't you bitchers know how good you have it here? If not, try elsewhere. I don't think you'll find anything comparable. Or set up your own site, something which I am incapable of and not willing to do. My guess is that the bitchers are not either.  

And I'm not saying don't bitch, but for gods sake (there I go) keep it within reason.

One last thing, if you're not donating, as far as I'm concerned, you should be thrilled that the forum exists at all.
