It's just a pointless stupid obsession, nothing more. Nothing to take seriously at all. It sparks creativity and friendly (albeit sometimes strange) discussion. Yeah, there are a whole flock of rep whores on the board here. I think I'm in the whore hall of fame. But seriously....who cares?

And as for any of you who don't rep me for this post, I'll hunt you down like the ingrates you are and whip you good.

I would seriously love to rep this post, but I have reached my rep limit.

At least that is how I look at the forums that my company hosts, and the loyalists.org email accounts we give away for free. As far as I know the excess money goes right into your pocket, right?) I don't fault you for making a buck off of this at all, this is a capatist society after all, but maybe you shouldn't be quite so defensive when one of your customers makes a suggestion.

Doesn't the software for the forums run around $200? I think I remember going to the vBulletin site and being surprised at how much it was. I may be mistaken.

This is easily the most entertaining thread I've read today.

I was about to say the same thing, btw. Several of us have supported the board with $$, not just to send money to some random paypal account, but because we wanted to help see to it that there was a good RSL board around that we could use and share with others. That means that customer input should be valued, no matter how stupid it is.

I don't know, the Jackson verdict thread has some gems.

Yeah, I forgot to add that in. I think it runs around $150 or so, depending on how many licenses you have (we pay under $150 per license, but we have a handful). I think you can lease a license for way under $100.
