This is my first actual post; I joined as a member of this site long before I even had a z hence the screen name. I prefer to read more then post because every question I've ever had I can find using the search. I do appreciate what Kyle has done with this site as it a great resource. I visit almost daily, however I think the "Rich Jerk" banner has gone too far. Not because of the idea; if it were just an idea then it would be ok, I just don't think profiteering off of an idea in this situation is the right thing to do. If you want to help the people of this forum then post the info and leave it at that no need to hot link. If it's a simple matter of money; i.e. you’re not making enough money to keep this site operational and worth your while, by all means say so and I’m sure the members will step forward. I certainly don't have a lot of money to spare but if this site were to go under because of lack of funding and support from its members I for one would step forward and help.

Be careful charlie_rdstr_Z with the above advice. I'm sure it's some TOU violation, "rehashing".

Why the F*** are you complaining

3. Why dont u get your *** to college and get a degree. Yall wanna be balling right?? If you can't sing like Don Omar or DY then start enrolling and shut the **** UP. FLAME SUIT IS ON!!!!!!!!!!

Who needs a college degree, all you have to do is click the link "moron" and start making millions.


****Disclaimer**** - The reference to "moron" in the above reply is in reference to a quote from the admin. It's not a flame toward PuertoRicanZ.

Don't like the ads? Dont click on them .. simple as that... Just because a site is "free" for the publiic does not mean that the site does not cost money to the owners (Hosting fee's / etc.)

I think it's been said a couple of times now that the $$ go to Kyle and not the site.

Does it really matter what banner is at the top of the forum? Treat the banner just like any other thread and if it doesnt interest you then dont open it. The owner and mods of the site can put what ever they want on the site to make it profitable and cheaper to maintain. Like it or not to the owner of the site, this is a bussiness and bussinesses are designed to be profitable.
I commend them for what has been done with the site from when i first joined.

My only complaint is useless threads like this that should have been closed as soon as they were opened....

just my .02

Wow. What a suck-up.
Apparently you haven't read very much of the thread about this issue either.
The monies from this link do not go to the site. They all go to Kyle is what I am understanding from this whole issue.
And treat this banner like a thread and just ignore it? Threads don't appear at the top of every page in big bold blue and red letters so it's just a little harder to ignore.

Just my .02.

Why is it you've been here soo long and now you decide to post?

BTW, do you think that If I hadnt stepped in the forum would still be functioning?

However, I do agree with you people make up this forum.

Honestly...if it wasn't for people making such an issue out of it, I probably would have never paid it any attention. Actually, I still don't pay it any attention, so I really don't care if it stays or goes.

Is there some kind of a rule I am violating by posting now? If so, I missed the memo. Or is it just becuase you hate it when peeps disagree with you?

I really have no idea, but please fill me in.

If you agree with what I stated, why the attitude??
And also, if you agree that it is the "people" that make the forum, why not listen to suggestions then?
I am not here to stir up trouble, I just think this whole Rich Jerk thing is a joke. And yes, it does make the site seem immature and low-brow IMO.
