FOR SALE SECTION

--- Quote from: "v8kenny" ---While I can applaud the free to use stance adopted on here perhaps it's now a case of the admin being victims of their own success
Have they ever considered charging a small (whatever it costs to run the site divided by the no. of members) fee ?
I don't reckon many would object
Thanks Simon - you obviouslt type faster than me !

Mud-Club is free to its users. Behind the scenes, all this hosting and bandwidth has to be paid for - and this is a high-bandwidth site. This is done by the administrators. It has to be maintained and kept secure. This is also done by the admins, at considerable cost to their time and with no benefit to them.
So, the users (myself included) get something for nothing, whilst the people who set up and run the site spend a lot of money and time on it, and in return they get... complaints.
Think about this for a moment.
Say you invite somebody around to your house one day, and you give them dinner. At the end of the evening, they say, that's great, but the dessert was rubbish. Next time you shouldn't serve that. You should do it differently. What would you think to that?
I'm not one of the people I'm referring to above; I'm just a moderator. If I were you though I'd think very carefully about how you look at this site. Maybe one day the people behind it will think - stuff this - and pull the plug.

Thrasher said,in the other thread, "poll if you like" so we are doing.

I also appreciate what the mods and admin do for us.
Give up a lot of their free time to
help us out, and keep the idiots who swear and abuse this site off.

Ok, so those of you who are agreeing with what Thrasher said are failing to remember that it would make the admins job even more difficult as they would have to spend the time vetting and posting the for sale ad themselves!
Personally i like the idea of replies on threads, but also maybe appointing 1 or 2 mods who's only responbility is that board so it can be kept in order and thus not causing any confusion for users as to which mod did what?
One of the reasons i say this is the problems with the PM system where people arent getting messages people send them, so possibly losing out on the first dibs policy!
As said previously, this is the best forum on the net as its the only that doesnt get clicky and resent outsiders. We obviously respect those who are running this system, but maybe a yearly membership could be charged? i dont know how much it would work at but if its only a couple of quid a year surely its worth it?
