Nobody is stopping anyone from paying.
I'm hating only because $teve uses that site to sell shoes, magazines and promote all of his ventures and now I'm suppose to help him cover hisfee's?
LOL...thanks for this Steve...now the real community is here to stay.
These kids are so brainwashed. They are thanking $teve for taking there money

Thanks all for the support. And for those hating - it is all good as you have a right to your opinion. If the forum as a whole (at least the people who use the MP) thought this was a truly bad idea and would rather have services cut then I would be down for that. I looked at many options before coming to this conclusion. My basic thought is this - I want ISS to be free for everyone - forever. But I also know the MP generates millions of dollars in revenue for the board members. Yes - millions. And it has been free forever to the you the user. But to be honest - it isn't free to run. Jvini and I have spent an amazing amount of time working on this site so it could grow as it has. We also have an amazing admin / mod staff that spend untold hours helping out all of the users.
Is the money going to the forum to keep it up and running as well as expand some key technical areas? Yes.
Am I personally making money off the $5 charge. No. That shouldn't even matter - but the answer is no.
Are we going to make some big upgrades over the next 6 months. Yes.
Could we just keep the MP free for everyone forever? Yes. But to be honest - I've spent $100,000s on this forum and it is truly refreshing that most people have the attitude - "let's do our part".
Bottom line; I don't think $5 breaks anyone who uses the MP. I just don't. And if you have 400 posts on this site with a feedback of 80 and you are *****ing about it - then please find another place to hang. Obviously you are not truly part of this community - you are just using the site for the MP - and that is not why I created this site. I created this site for people into kicks - for people who want to hang with like minded sneakerheads. There are all kinds of sneaker forums that come in every flavor under the sun. There is a place for you if you don't like this joint.
And to those saying I'm exploiting the shoe game.... I've given more time and money to the shoe game than anyone on this site. I've enabled many people to work in this industry through ISS / SC / as well as being the bridge for people to obtain pretty high level jobs at Nike and other shoe companies. Just because I don't come on here every day stating what I've done for the sneaker world doesn't mean I'm not doing things in the background.
And remember - THIS SITE IS 100% FREE OUTSIDE THE MP.

Fails to mentions he has also made more money then anyone. And as far as spending time it's his damn job!

Taking credit for other peoples hard work. Without $C I'm sure retrokid would still be at Nike.
I like their bumping system. I think its once every two days. NT should at least allow that. It really is hard to sell when your listing is 10pages back.Originally Posted by DaBuddhaWitJays
Some sellers don't have an asking price, which annoys me. The excessive bumps do also.
NT just needs a feedback system and we're good to go.
of course....but I've spent more money on my collection than I've ever made selling a pair of kicks that I didn't need/want anymore.Originally Posted by YuraS718
Everyone is saying it's for the love of shoes and not in it for money. I'm willing to bet 9/10 people on this forum have sold a pair of shoes for more than what you paid for them.
