Placing ads, on the other hand, allows us to continue to offer NikeTalk for FREE. That IS a positive benefit. Sites have to pay their bills somehow. You've obviously been spoiled by the completely free and ad free site we've run thus far, but the situation has changed. We can't purchase our hosting costs for $2,000 a YEAR like we used to. It costs real money now, and where do you suppose that should come from?
Look, Im a member since 2002, and I feel that I am a more intelligent person than most people on this site. You dont understand, Meth what I am saying. You guys had two choices: 1. Host advertisement (just terrible), keep the site free, and keep all of the annoying 11-14 year olds that go here and contribute NOTHING to the community. ORRRRR
2. Force all the members to pay a small annual fee, thus dismissing all those who do not find Niketalk worthwhile enough to pay money for.
If you chose to make Niketalk something you need to pay for, the QUALITY of this site would be much better than the site that you have planned out for us in the future. It would be a privelage to post and share secrets about sneakers and to sell and trade our products. It would be a Niketalk that we all have dreamed of, one that we saw a small glimmer of around the time when I joined this community.
Sure it wouldnt be free anymore, but it would be MUCH better than what niketalk will become.
