In full disclosure, the admins and owners of this site dont owe anyone SHIT. Why do people think they have EARNED the right to post here? They are ALLOWING you to do so for fuckin FREE. They can do whatever they want whenever they want. Period.

And no, this isnt aimed at anyone in particular. Im just saying what seems to be forgotten by members here. You want the right to explanations and give ideas? Give up some bread. Just sayin.

Have a nice day.

Well I'm pretty sure people said they'd be willing to pay, and even if it free... Who fuckin cares???

They get money from ad revenue when people come on this site... If facebook made some changes that everyone was pissed off about they'd take note... Same with yahoo mail, or gmail, or any other free online services

These forums don't NEED to exist for the Siccness to function as a website.

and once they set the page to siccness.net/vb

if the regular members who post here that have been complaining about the site stop coming... The siccness will lose a ton of hits.... A fucking ton

I'm not sure how much they're getting in ad revenuen and if they're actually drawing a profit, but if they are making a profit... They owe us an explanation, period... Because that means we are making them money

If the revenue they make is just enough to keep the site up and running... They still need to free fillyacup... At the very least

Server and host cost doesn't really require that much cash, and they generate profit from ads and bandwidth traffic as everyone has already mentioned. This site is actually worth alot, I am sure whatever profit they generate is more than enough to pay for expenses, if not having some left over for the owner.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm just saying there is 2 sides to this and they know its dedicated community is a huge contribution.

This is a retarded argument. The people who visit this site are the ones who make this site exist in the first place. There are folks who have been posting here for 8+ years and they have formed the siccness community.
