No, in spite of how hard I try. I do try not to let crankiness emerge, and especially bad taste (how many posts have I written and deleted without posting? Lots), but I know I've written a few apology posts and PMs after being snippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 The Google ads used to help pay for things, but Google didn't like our That's It girlie threads and they removed their ad banners. Those threads have been removed so at some point we'll probably be able to reinstate the ads, but for now, we admins pay for this. Is there a way we can send in a little donation? It's the least I can do for everything you've given us. And thank you very much for that, btw.I'll throw in five bucks Yeah...me and TOG would totally go sober for a week to toss some extra dough into the machine!! ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to explain why we feel that way, but it just seems, I don't know...not right. Honestly, it would be totally right. You wouldn't have to be obvious with it, just that little button down the bottom of the main page. You would get at least hits which may generate some extra $$$ flow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Some of the forum ladies offer themselves up on a Friday Night for the street punters and donate the proceeds to 73. He's been driving a pink fur-lined Cadillac since 2004. I've seen him over at my neighbors. That's quite the car!! I know it must be him on account of the three bobble heads in the rear window. Every time he leaves, Alex, Geddy and Neil bob their goodbyes to me. Why is that Springsteen song running through my mind? Was it Barbie pink? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is you can basically Google so much worse than anything we ever did so there is a bit of irony there. Hopefully you can get them back.

You and most others knew where the line of good taste was drawn (because me and Digi had spelled it out several times), but there was this one member who knew where the line was, crossed it on several occasions, was reprimanded about it directly, but chose to ignore us and kept posting pics that were practically soft porn.
