So where does it go? In their pockets? If so that’s a lot of donation money just to maintain a website that really doesn’t cost much to maintain. I could run this on a cloud server (cut out all the hardware costs) and make it perform better for a lot less than they are making.

Once again I’m all for them getting their profits, but at this point I really don’t like paying for a used old outdated model. I’m sure many on here will disagree though. Most people don’t like change. But if we want to be part of the future we have to change (for the better...not just for change sake).

The uniqueness is that we use words and ideas mostly. Pictures have a role but old school is thinking skills and writing skills.

MAGA. It is old school ideas to go back to.

Why become like everything else?

You can't see it now (page says 404) but they used to have a breakdown where the money went. I think the majority went to "admin". If I remember right it was around 14k a month.

Someone has to monitor the site 24/7 or spammers and haters will wreck this place. We have enough haters that need to be booted. Simple is where it’s at. No ads is awesome. Just get rid of the slowness sometimes and I’m good!

As far a s a like or dislike button and easier to post pics would be nice but the software is so old they can’t fix that.
