Thank you for your contribution.
There is a growing drain on FR bandwidth that comes from the ever expanding blogging community. We have bloggers that come here for one reason only. To drive hits to their sites. You’ve seen them. They toss out juicy thread titles and then excerpt their “articles” with one or two sentences, for no reason. They can post the blog article. If their blog doesn’t allow more than an except on FR, why post here???
Most of them don’t even do us the honor of including a link to FR on their blog home page.
Jim has always been a welcoming host on this site for all like-minded consevatives. The blog community has taken advantage of Jim’s big heart and I, for one, am sick and tired of their whoring for free on FR.
I don’t view their threads, I certainly won’t give them a web hit. Hell, they even post their blogs in News/Actvism in order to give them a chance to post in ‘Breaking News’.
If all y’all can donate a couple of bucks....great! If you can’t....God bless you! Do not go away!! It’s going to get better....
RANT....OFF
I have indeed seen them, and the temptation to hit Abuse is almost overwhelming. I don't want this site to degenerate to another pile of targeted ads, but the blog-whoring is a definite abuse of FR's bandwidth. Find a way to make them pay for it.
I'm a monthly donor, but times are getting tougher for members of my family, and I can't up my contribution at this time - they come first.
