“I’m always surprised that that many people can’t come up with that much money in a week or less.”
I still remember a year ago when there was thread that asked for donations and there were excuses being posted on why they can give even $5 to the Freepathon.
Totally pathetic. Even a meal at Mcdonald’s, if you sacrifice it once for FR would have ended it. Effing Freepers (a number of them) are cheapskates. I’ll say it again, make membership a $20 a year thing, and no Freepathons ever...
I think as soon as you sell memberships that the government looks at you differently. I’m no lawyer, so I’m really just speculating.
In any case, the only way to get a surfer is to let him surf for free. If he has to pay right off the bat for a discussion site, he won’t do it.
How long would you allow surfers/lurkers to do that before you asked them to ante up?
Well then, how about FR just post the names of those cheapskate leeches who couldn’t even donate to FR, instead of the other way around posting the names of the donors?
