Clarification Requested (Donations)

I must say that I'm sure glad we all came back to bobo's version of GFF when, you know...he's not going to do things to keep it running financially and...well, he's not going to actually implement anything and...er, oh yeah, he's not actually going to be around.

This plan was A+++++.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Unless someone outright told him, I doubt bobo knows that I've said anything. He might if he reads this thread when he checks back in, what, weeks after the last visit.

You know what?

I'm tired of this argument of, "Well, shit, you enjoy GFF so you should pay for it too." Do you fucking pay to listen to the radio? No, you listen to some advertisements. That's your payment to them. Same here. We could put advertisements on the bottom of the page and that would be it! That's enough! No more problems ever for the rest of GFF's life. More can be done with ad money on GFF than can be done with donations. And I guarantee you if you people hadn't have given all your money to bobo and had given it to someone who gives a fuck about this community then GFF would be running at full functionality at this very moment.

But you fucks are like, "Well, shit, I can PAY FOR GFF. That would be so much better! It is so much better to have bobo run out of money every 6 months and lose everything and have to pay thousands of dollars to get GFF back!"

Seriously. What the hell is wrong with you? Have you looked at any other website on the entire freaking WWW lately? Because they all have advertisements.

It's such a fallacy to point out that we are bad users of GFF because we advocate a system where no one has to pay anything at all. OH SO AWFUL. So awful that all our friends would be able to keep their money!

And shut up, Miles. We get that you are like super admin and super doner and super everything. You don't have to be super righteous asshole also.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Not hatin', just sayin'...

I did say that advertisements were the way that we "pay" for the radio.

NPR uses...not advertising, but "sponsors" which are basically corporations who donate money to get a blurb about them.

NPR stations do make money off member drives, but they also don't shut off the radio station and then call you on your phone to tell you that they forgot to pay the bills and the only way you'll be able to listen to NPR again is if SOMEONE ponies up.
