got a forum message from admin at marP asking for $$$ to keep the site afloat---option 2 sounds like he's getting geared up to start selling advertising---probably both

Yeah I saw that yesterday

Year later and biz is taking over .....
Seems to me he took your stuff and sold it without any revenue sharing..... Kinda lame....
Hope it doesn't keep all the pro from dropping all that knowledge..... It's things like tis that would.....
As I puff some ghost .....seems fitting ......

Is it bad to have ads flashing? most sites have them. Am I missing something?

Wasn't there always a banner ad there before? I remember an Attitude banner, and everyone buying there seeds from there and running grow threads. And then a Nirvana banner, and everyone buying seeds from there and running grow threads. So what's the problem with a banner ad now?

Maybe I just see it differently because I spent 25 years in the ad selling game, made good money doing it too. But if a few ads is what it takes to keep a site you like up and running, I don't see the problem.

i guess what you might be missing is the nonsense that happened when the site was purchased---some might just call it business---i on the other hand call it misrepresentation of fact in effort to gain an upper hand in negotiations

yes, I can see it as a mom and pop store selling out to a wal mart type. It changes everything. That is why I don't post anywhere else but here.

I dig where you're coming from. If he had planned to do this all along, just say it. Don't back peddle six months later.

Who is TA? I didn't even know the site was sold...lol

yes, exact same pattern I lived through on another forum (hobby) I was on quite a few years ago.
I stopped back there a few months ago... didn't even recognize the sight (front page) or forum.

lol its (one of) multi's (alter ego) signature pointing that out

makes me pause for sure as I LOVE to post pics

oh well---guess it was good while it lasted---i ain't gonna be crying over it

All you guys can do is sit and wait and see. If MP goes a direction you don't like, then have a back up plan for all your friends to find you somewhere else.

I feel like since my days at MP I've moved around so much from site to site, but as long as my friends are there with me, they're all home.

Close friends melvan aren't my biggest beef. Info n the proper help newbies got get n received from there was great. Friendly enviro everything.
There isnt sites like that or so far few n between i haven't came across one like it.
Love this pkace cuz most yo all of the members share n feel the same about info helping n mj.
That's what grinds my gears. I won't cry over it due to kits if hard wrk n posting n time was lost. Wish people would pull there heads outta the greedy cloud.
