Yes, I think I do. A combo message board/database website outdated in 2005, is broken and doesn't work in 2016.
Did I miss something? I'll be more than happy to listen to your overwhelming expertise.
It's not like what I'm saying is wrong, so you can save the snark for somebody else. Maybe Codeblue needs a sparring partner.

They've said a few times this isn't a money issue. They're trying to hire someone now.
So it goes...

Any case, let's not sell it. We might end up with ads.

did you expect this person would retain anything that they have read on an internet message board? what are they a drymounting psycho or something?

Well the more money you spend, the faster things can be accomplished.
It's not like this is a recent thing.
I'm for the site generating money regardless. Aren't you?

Not in excess, at the expense of user experience. No. I'm not a fan of ads for the sake of ads. If funds cover costs, why sacrifice user experience just to "generate money"? No i don't like that.

Not an expert but believe the site non-profit and ads/perceived profit could compromise the status
Always cracks me up to think non-profit

Right. And why do it, if there's no need. Doing it just to do it, is drymounting stupid. If funds were lacking that would be a different thing, but we're being told that's not the case.
