Default Question about $$ for message boards
Hi Everyone,
My guess is that part of the problem with the "other place" was that the cost to run a message board is in part based on the number of posts. I wrote asking about possibly doing inexpensive Premier memberships etc. to help defray the costs rather than just shutting us down. BTW, it wasn't posted or answered.

So my concern is that since so many of us have now descended on this nice board I worry that we might make things cost too much here also. Does this make any sense?

I don't think it was a too many posts kind of thing. I took the note to read that it was more of a thing with keeping the sponsor happy.

So, you also had a thread never "approved" and posted, huh? I also have an e-mail into them for 2 days with no response.

I never thought of that but if so, why didn't someone just say that?

I posted on that particular thread Jules but it never showed up. Seems like I had a couple that poofed, but it's probably because I sent feedback e-mail - very constructive and polite - that hasn't been answered either.

Oops -- sorry Cheri. I should have read this more carefully before I posted.

Thank you for making us all feel so welcome.

Hi, Jules!

Exactly -- but I'm saying this not because of whatever the reason or reasonS might be but because the explanation made no sense. A "conversational tone" is a bad thing? THAT was really the problem for me -- I just don't think it was really truthful. Although I know that the service is provided TO us (and I'm very grateful and do not take it for granted) I do think that we deserved something more honest. Okay, I'll get off the now.

I also took it to read that "they" were concerned about keeping sponsors happy. I did not quite understand the logic. I also e-mailed my concerns and opinions but, like you, was absolutely ignored.

Like others have said, it may be best to drop the old and embrace the new.
