[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 2960509, member: 2189"] As for this site being a money maker as opposed to a hobby, for the sake of discussion I'll assume you weren't around when BC began as clearly in those early days Cheryl was making no money and was paying out of pocket. Pop up ads were yet to come so BC was little more than a bulletin board. As for profiting now, if you and I never see the ads when we are logged in, what difference does it make if she makes some scratch from non members to keep this going? As for mods stretching the boundaries, in the case of one, there are times I might agree with you. Maybe the best way to address that is to understand how this might go down from time to time and not let yourself get pulled into it. I've seen one person specifically come into Current Events making claims about that forum, even in other forums, and then this person turns around and does those exact things in other forums. Current Events like any forum has its warts but this person at times makes sport of it so I just wrote it off as hypocrisy and a bit of projecting his/her true personality. I suspect it possible that you and I are speaking of the same person. Again, don't take the bait is the best solution. [/QUOTE]
