BBB.net posters were suckered into migrating for the Mods profits

[barfo]

Some do. Stop pretending there aren't ads on this site.

There's a difference between mods and site owners.

Those are good ads. Not like the evil ads here at S2.

Or something.

Just so you know. You all left BBB.net because of "mods" in fact you were tricked into leaving that forum so that you would migrate here and fill the wallets of the mods who profit from your posts. This is why trolling is not only accepted here, but encouraged. It creates a vacuum of hit counts, which translate to ad clicks.

You may all think you were liberated, but in reality you were suckered into leaving by plotting admins who want, no need your content creation to survive.

Without the Blazer forum this place is pretty much a ghost town.

I hope you enjoy being suckered to fill the wallets of people with nothing in mind but dollar signs. It's quite obvious to anyone that substantive basketball talk is very low on the priority of the group running this site.

BBF made money off this group too. In fact they went so far as to charge for avatars and lifetime memberships....then, they failed to service the needs of their customers. So they left.

Your comments about trolling and mods and board management is off base. The biggest trolls at BBF were themselves mods. And they treated this community like shit.

Denny and company are good hosts....as good as can be found anywhere, and they've made everyone feel welcome. Not only that the board programming here is far superior to BBF.

The business of running an internet message board isn't all that lucrative. There isn't anyone running a Blazer board that is rolling in dough. Anyone who is doing it is doing so because they enjoy it. Don't delude yourself. If SportsTwo makes a few bucks off the ads and can use that revenue to pay for bandwith and what not then good for them. I'd say they are spending that money well. And if they make a few dollars extra and can stuff it in an IRA or take a nice vacation, or even have a steak dinner and drinks then thats even better.

Your notion that there is some sort of conspiracy generated by the people who run this site is rubbish.

Go piss up a rope.

Question: Do mods actually make money?

Yes, how about some substance, Bonehead? You'd be more interesting. Which mods make money? How were we pushed out? How about something like this.

After waiting for an irritating 9/11-like event to happen, a PM campaign was mounted by a couple of instigators to tell everyone to move to the Sports2 board. The dozen or so who hung back (including HCP and me) received a strange error message when logging in, requiring re-registration. Since almost everyone was already gone, that was the final straw that motivated the remaining holdouts to stop posting. Looked like an inside job, with one infiltrator turning on the error message for those left.

Why don't you come up with some tale like that? No one would believe you. What an imagination I have.

Well, it's actually nice to feel needed and wanted and to know that the people who run this board understand business; you have to keep your customers happy if you want to keep them. Now, do you have any actual hard evidence that this was a deliberate manipulation or this your own opinion?

I'll ban/lock for the right price.

I don't want to say that I'm looking for a bribe but...meh, being crafty is too much work. Someone bribe me, please.

[julius]

I'm supposed to be paid?! Where's my money?!

I think the implication is that GOOD mods get paid. Sorry.

Not from this site. Some of us are gainfully employed in the real world, of course.

Mr. BoneHead is deeply confused if he thinks the Canadian porn kingpin that owns BBB cares more about basketball discussion than Denny Crane.

I knew that one of you mods would post something about making money in the real world, and I was 90% sure it would be you, barfo. You're becoming predictable!

Zounds! I must now alter my plan for world domination. What can I do that will be unpredictable?

Ah, I've got it.

I should be getting paid for all that I bring to this place! We all need to go on strike! I want to see Denny's bank statements!

[BlazerWookee]

Nobody enjoys chatting with you. The only people that enjoy your posts are the people that profit from the hit count and page views you help create.

On the contrary. I gave Eric a hard time when Bones started, And I did so without watching much of the show at all. I was a jerk for doing so, and I regret doing so now, and I happen to enjoy reading his posts, and I enjoy conversing with him on this forum. If people make money on that, good on 'em. At least I have the satisfaction of knowing that the person making money from my posts is not you.

[HCP]

Eric is a cool guy. One of the few of you internet dorks I have actually met in person. Let's just say he is very passionate about the game.

Kind of like Duffy's Tavern in Lebanon, then?

[bintim]

Can you channel some of that money you are making from me posting here to my account? I'm not sure how I am making you rich being unemployed and all. Maybe you could tell me how that works so I can get in on it.

[jlprk]

Seriously, Denny, who are the officers of the corporation? Is it owned by another corporation? Who are the officers of that one? Can you PM me the financial statements? All I need are the income statement and the balance sheet. You can skip the rest. I don't understand any of that stuff, so you're safe.
