Most forums start out with a passion for something, from there its members and the owner of the site determines which direction it will run. Some are happy just to have a place to go and hang out and get information, and some want more.
Money is the root of all evil and people show thier true colors when it comes to money Money can buy a head of the neck too from what I've heard. Makes you wonder if the almighty rx7club will someday close the doors for good. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif |
They treat people like **** over ther, let'em burn.
|
it will rebuild, people always rebuild
|
let me get this straight, Jason, who said when Nopistons got hacked, and I quote: "KARMA IS A BITCH", got booted as admin so he took the site and ran away with it?
whole thing is a bit childish isnt it? why would you remove a admin anyhow? edit- I was wrong, so dont kill me, but read on for more entertainment! |
I thought Jason booted the other Admin Boosted7 and he shut it off?

I caused both forums to be shutdown and if you keep this up I will shut down your....house.
|
I am currious I don't know exactly who really owns those forums I thought it was Jason, Not Ryan.... am I wrong?
either way who shut it down? |
I'm pretty sure Jason booted Ryan and Ryan shut it down.....so I thought. Maybe they had a lovers quarrel.

How cute, rotary quarrell https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png

Like Rob said, money makes people do strange things. I just wonder how much cash it took for them to get to this point. The dictators over there get away with alot of BS while people continue to kiss their asses.
EG. the magazine they put out takes months to get to Canadian subscribers and nobody bitches. Instead they post **** like 'thanks for trying to help us get a rotary mag'. The mag sucks ass and nobody wants to say it. Why do they have so many users? Were they the first rotary forum? What is the history of RX forums and why are these guys still around with their BS attitudes? |
I stopped giving Phins his daily BJ, he got pissed contacted russia, russia then sent a nuclear bomb to ohio and blew the **** out of the server.

It's okay guys, in a fit of desperation 94t contacted the russians and told them to change it from a nuclear bomb to a convential one. The server was blown to peices but no Ohio's were hurt in the process. The Canadians fearing a retaliation from the US on them, have called for the everyone in the armed forces, both showed up and are in the rowboat right now patrolling the waters. In case the US does retaliate they have the new super soaker 500's standing by. This is truely a somber day.

What pisses me off is that I gave donations for that site to be ugraded and all that jazzz, not just a dollar either a farily significant amount of money as far as non tax deductible donations go! It just pisses me off.

- Hand The funny thing is those two Canadian soldiers could litterally take out 10 american soldiers to their own lives, and if they are Canadian special forces then that number suddenly jumps to 35. Our numbers may be small but we sure do pack a punch... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png |
ah, so its the other way around, I got it all wrong, what do I know im stupid!

We've got some late breaking news here: in lue of recent news Banzai joined up with a submarine he had just finished. Word is that he has spotted the canadians and is preparing to attack. The only other known crew members were a red man known as relmo, and a couple of his favorite seamen. Pennis-land-vania has declared war against Ohio, for reasons unknown. Pennis-land-vania is expected to be defeated quickly. There are also rumors of South Carolina planning to succeed. More details at yout 10 o'clock new provider. Back to you Jim.

it just sucks bc now theyre all gonna come over here. i know that not all of the guys there suck, but a lot of them do.

as the rotor turns!

Hand, this just in! The red man known as Relmo has enlisted the aid of a small, annoying Canadian counter-agent known only as Ryu. Reports indicate that they are quietly making their way to the Pennis-land-vania border to escort a well-known political figure, known to the world only as 'Snowman-something-or-other' to the "safety" of the soon to be Anti'Canadian oasis known as South Carolina.
More to come... |

Just how much money is made from these forums? Does anyone have an idea of what they charge advertisers? And how much does it cost to actually run and maintain the site? I'm just looking for ball parks.
I have been an observer at nopistons ever since the bastards at the 'club' banned me repeatedly, for saying that the site is run by money hungry selfish freaks that don't care about the users. I guess this turning off of servers proves my point. It is just a shame that the Canadian section over there is more frequented than here but I will personally try to change that. This is a pretty hard question to answer, each forum is different, depending on what goals you set for yourself, will depend on what your finances are like. If you think you are going to make a killing or for that matter even beer money off of a forum then you are off on the wrong foot. To be perfectly honest, every time this forum (which is the only one I can speak for with any knowledge) as soon as I start to see maybe $50 to $100 a month going into our savings I know it's time to start looking at a server upgrade. With the backup service, server, bandwidth, monitoring, etc, etc... we are currently paying a little over $400 per month for that portion. I personally have never raised advertising rates on current advertisers, every banner you see at the top is paying the same amount they did when they signed up, keep in mind two of those banners are in house. Sponsors help, more realistically all of the members paying to support the forum and various donations are what keep us a float, without them I would not be here. If you value your time and you want to put any kind of dollar value on the time you spend, then there's no profit to be had... the way I run this place, but as anyone can tell you that's been here much, I've told advertisers to get fucked on several occasions, for various reasons and I've never changed the rules to suite them. Certainly you could play the slave to a big advertiser and keep ahead of the game, but then you've got some potential headaches down the road if your views differ from theirs. That said, I wouldn't change anything regarding my time at the on bridge here, there's been far more good times then bad, I've met some great people and made some life long friends, my life has changed in ways beyond expectations because of my involvement here, this is a great group of individuals and even though we've fought, cussed and had it out on many occasions, we've always ended up better in the long run. I am sure that rx7club.com will straiten things out, I wouldn't right them off because of what has taken place, if rx7club is where you prefer to be then be patient. Whatever happens, life will go on! |

We don't use it much. It's kinda hard to get to especially since you have to click 1 extra time to get there. But it helps keep out the self rightous rx7 drivers who frequent the canadian forum of the forums similar to this one, |
