DMD Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 They will have to remain open though there are very, very few here that are not huddle members. If you want me to ban a non-huddle member, the neccessary bar is not very high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have been witness to some pretty abhorrent behavior in my time here. But I would love to see the boards be for paying members only. I dont understand why you think open boards is a good thing david. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Los Gigantes Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I don't either. 857517[/snapback] Probably because folks are more likely to pay for a membership after hanging out on the boards. Its good advertising, although annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spain Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 But now that Gators is gone, how many people will actually stick around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Messiahs Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 My money is coming DMD as promised. I'm paying for the fact the opinions and info I get off this board is valued. And 20 dollars a year is a deal for the work that they put into this board and what I get out of it. This is no ass kissing attempt, this is the truth.

Its good advertising, although annoying. 857518[/snapback] True, but you can let guests drop by the boards and read them for free. If a person actually wants to join the free-for-all, let them ante up their $$$ for the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 again, it is no longer as simple as it once was when we had everything on one server with the site. There are a number of complications now that the leagues MB and the main MB are in one place, plus the reality is that very few people here are not members. The boards can attract new people that drop by the site, but number of people that would visit the site, go to the MB and hang out and yet not be a member is miniscule. Personally, I would like it to be members only but even I understand why it cannot be at least for the forseeable future and the reality is that this almost exclusively is a members only board.

AtomicCEO Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 It's good business to let people come in and make themselves at home. Give them a taste before they buy in. Unless... of course... we are all complete dicks to them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some way to distinguish the fine upstanding members of the huddle from the freeloading riff raff. That way we can be really nice to the newcomers. Right guys?
