Don't be bummed out by a few bad apples. There are lots of us here who are stoked you are fixxing things. It got a little sketchy there at the end of the market. In other news my girlfriend would also like to thank you because I suddenly have way more money and time now that I am not browsing constantly lol. Keep up the good work I and others appreciate what you folks do.
Every site needs that one thing that separates them from the rest. They come for the perk, and stay for the people....Quote:

Cant wait until everythings straightened out!
Look man, I really don't like being a dick, but your time can't really be translated into a monetary figure. And I know you yourself never mentioned a fee, so I'm not putting words in your mouth, but being a part of (let alone, an administrator of) this community should be incentive enough to keep it going and does not warrant a membership fee. If you're short-staffed, I, along with a whooooole lot of others, I'm sure, would love to donate their time and skills doing whatever needs done.Quote:

Woah what's all this "we" talk about? Speak for yourself dude. I don't plan on leaving either way. :smoke1:Quote:

Of course everyone wants things for free or at least as cheap as possible but thats where competition between buyers and sellers comes in. It would be awesome to see an online glass auction website not so different from ebay one day....
Don't try to fucking flip it on him. You said:Quote:

the idea of charging members is a stupid one. if money is needed to cover the operating expenses of the site (which, believe me, are very low), then ads should be put up
you know what i wouldn't mind paying $$ for? some type of escrow.
i never said his time was worthless. i said operating costs associated with the site (hosting, etc.) are very low. and they are. you know how much everyone appreciates the time that you volunteer, and that gratification should be enough, or atleast it would be to me. i didnt mean anything calling the idea stupid (again, i know fullmeltbubble never mentioned it directly) but i was trying to make the point that if you needed to bring in some extra dough for whatever reason, you could save a lot of your members from leaving, it's more than just me, by placing ads instead of charging a membership fee.
I didn't mean to offend anyone, especially fullmeltbubble, and if I did, I'd like to sincerely apologize.
