Tjamz posting under Sweet-WRX-Lovin's account...Ok, I understand that you are trying to make some money by banning people...but umm....I can't/won't shell out money if someone wants to ban me consistently. Sorry. I am out of town quite a bit and use my laptop to keep up on this site. Also I use PM's to talk with people that I have no other easy way to communicate with. If you want to make this a pay site, then fine, I'll pay, otherwise, I'm done. I'd rather spend my money on my car than constantly getting into a "free" website. Sorry to sound like a dick.

Chuck you cant recreate another account. You can still view the site just not able to post. You can unban yourself for $5. It's all about upgrading for the site and the good for the site.

So for all new member they have to pay?? Or did u just set it up temporarily that they have to so that you don't get ppl creating new acct's when they get banned..??

Last time I heard when companies needed money for websites, they advertise and accept donations. Seems kind of low to do this. More drama, oh well. SLS why don't you pay for advertisement for christs sake you have a dedicated thread on the forums, add some links, etc, etc. You got the money why not pay for the advertisement?

I'd have a suggestion of a live chat; I know that shouldn't cost any money; I've created websites (personal sites) that I've made them and they've worked.. Who knows tho; maybe it's not free no more..

I also think a live chat would be good for this site.

Yeah, why aren't the sponsors of the board kicking in the money? SLS and Trafik Jamz. They are the advertisers. You can put up two new lifts but can't shell out for some software. All the other boards I'm on accept DONATIONS. Why don't you guys just do that? Of course, people might want a reason to donate. Cause right now, people just get banned and talked down to all the time. Can't figure out why they don't want to contribute.

bravenet has a free applet set up for live chat; I set 1 up on a geocities site b4.. Just a suggestion

I'm sure they have updated versions avail. as well.. too some that may work better; so I think.. Haven't look into it much

I've made a profit of $7 since I got my classifieds section...then again remote starter season hasn't really hit yet. I do think that if I pay for a classified section, I should at least be able to moderate what goes on there....would be easy for someone to come on and say "this brand sucks...etc..." If I'm paying, I think I should have some control over it...if I'm not paying, then fine its fair game.

Anyways Jim, most websites are solely run be one person so don't try to be "oh pity me" that's what advertisement is all about. Not difficult to do, not difficult to find, you already got SLS and Tjamz is willing to pay as he stated earlier. I have ran over 10 different websites since the 6th grade, numerous clan sites for various games, all of them used the same kind of forum and in no offense, were much much much more complicated and took much more bandwidth with server bots, stats tracking, integrated chat, and other XML features. What did I do when I needed the extra money to host the servers and the site? I advertised. Not a very complicated concept their partner.
The problem is Jim - people take the banning seriously and have made Fargostreet.com a commitment to check on daily if not hourly. Banning them puts them in a negative mood and creates unwanted drama from the prospect that someone is willing to pay for them to be banned. The notion is alone is unwanted and quite frankly uncalled for. There are much more productive and tactful ways of collecting the afforementioned revenue to upgrade the site as you see fit.

But that's Jim's decision not mine. Also you should have complete control - it is your business afterall.
