Yeah, it seems like for the amount you are paying, there should be less ads. Oh, wait a second. This site is free? I'm sure if you wanted to front RM all the money they make off ads, they would gladly take the ads away.How many more ads can be crammed into the Ridemonkey website.
Yeah you right - paying $20 to become a premium member might be a good idea. Less adds / less threads deleted / less oppression from the man / and less BS from the MODS?Yeah, it seems like for the amount you are paying, there should be less ads. Oh, wait a second.

Now quit yer bitchin' and go yap on your private chat site and look at all your Snowshoe ads!
(you know I love ya )
This used to work for me, but something's changed. On my home computer (Mac) with FF and adblock I'm still getting ads. Maybe I need to reinstall FF...Complaining about ads is dumb when FF + Adblock removes them completely.
What version of FF are you running? Also - what version of Adblock+? You can subscribe to more filter subscriptions through Tools-Adblock Plus in FF. I have NO ads.This used to work for me, but something's changed. On my home computer (Mac) with FF and adblock I'm still getting ads. Maybe I need to reinstall FF...
You call it business - I call it selling outThere are definetly more ads these days. But then this place is a business for Ridemonkey.

To start with, do you have any idea what it costs to host a site like this? And that is just to start. There are backups, security, upgrades, administrative support time, and on and on.
This is the last I am going to post about this but here it is: you would not believe the personal sacrifices it has taken to run this site over the years. When people come along and complain and insist that this should be "free and easy", it really strikes a nerve with me.
Luckily, this site has proper backing now so I don't have to worry about paying the rent anymore. You shouldn't complain too much about what is given to you for free. Helpful suggestions and feedback are welcome. But when it turns into simple complaining, I am going to take exception to that.
Seriously... get a clue.You call it business - I call it selling out

Humm that would be worth $20 - guess I'll always be stuck with these ads.
Maybe if you stopped typing and started riding a bike again we could get you back out to snowshoe
took long enough for you to chime in with your 2centsSeriously... get a clue.
I don't know all the numbers but this place could easily run a grand a month in hosting costs. That's completely ignoring everyone's time, of course.
It's free. You sure do spend a lot of time bitching about it, though.
:huh:

Anyone whose posts suck enough that the ads are more entertaining should be banned, or at least on everyone's ignore list.Some ads are more entertaining than some user posts.

Too bad it didn't take you that long to come up with another in a long line of whiny, bitching posts about a service that's provided to you free of charge and that you contribute nothing to.took long enough for you to chime in with your 2cents
I've expanded on that theme."This thread sucks" tag added.
No he doesn't. Technology available FOR FREE makes his pi$$ing and moaning completely unnecessary...But you have to admit, he does have a valid point.
Do tell.And before all of the "Do you know how much it costs..." yada yada yada, yes I do.
I would, but can't, sorry, it's business, nothing personal. Seems to be the standard reply as of late.Do tell.
