Is the S & W Forum getting hard up for sponcors?

[Dirtman]

"Stop The Koch Brothers" Help support the EPA! Are you kidding me? The EPA is not our friend.
They are a huge beaurocacy with way too much power and tax payer money to waste. They need to be reigned in.

These sponcors you speak of, are they bigger than a box?

The ads are not chosen by the site.
These ads are by google, and if you have searched or viewed "EPA" or other terms with your browser, ads related to it come up.

Look at it this way- we're taking their $$$$ by advertising.
I wish the brady bunch would spend $1m in ads on the fourm...because I know it would be futile advertising.

I think some members never actually read anything on the forum. they just come to the forum to tell us about their favorite belly ache.

FWIW worth I read this whole thread before I said anything about my tummy hurting..

 

[jlrhiner]

You know, my tummy hurts too! (I think it was breakfast, Spam and eggs!)

 

[35Rem]

My tummy hurts because it's full of BBQ. I think I have TB. Tight Belly.

What about this ad?

 

[feralmerril]

I have a very tender question or comment. First, two things about me. As you can see, I have posted many comments here. The secound thing is I admit I have never donnated a dime. Now I dont understand how these web sites work as I got into computters only after I retired. I dont have a clue if it costs $10s a year to own a site or a million dollars or for that matter, nothing.
I know I risk getting banned for this simple question: We arent suppose to discuss politics here and it seems we have to be very, very political correct or we get repermanded. I gotta know. Is it mostly because the owner doesnt want to PO potential advertisers? I am able to kick in some donations if others and I can really speak our mind and let whatever potential advertisers go to hell. Then I would donate to help fill the gap. But in my case I personaly feel I HAVE been more than donateing my part with my bs storys etc that draw people AND advertisers to this site.
Well, thats off my chest. Hope I am back tomorrow.

If I'm outta line, sorry. I like the no politics rule here. I also like the fact that we are expected to conduct ourselves like gentlemen and ladies here; it takes a little work to slip in an edgy zinger from time to time, and that's part of the fun.

 

[vytoland]

i invite ALL "sponcors" to bug me and pay ALL my bills......forever.

I'm just the opposite. I donate to fill the gap for those who don't donate, for whatever reason, because I like the strict moderation here.

I've been on sites where everybody is at everybody elses throat, and if your not in the let's attack everybody for everything clique then hang it up.

Half the time spent on those other sites were just wading through all of the inter-net babble that had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Here, mouse-click for mouse-click, a person learns a lot more for the time spent than on most other forums. On top of that there is joking around, off topic threads, etc. so why open it up to a bunch of angst & animosity?

Once two posters really dislike each other the bickering never stops and others are usually drawn in to taking sides so you end up with feuds, of sorts, and when the moderators try to put a stop to it both sides usually attack them for stepping on "Their Right to Free Speech"

No thank you........

I look at this forum like a cocktail party. I have been graciously accepted into someone's virtual "home" and will politely conduct myself as a proper guest.

And thanks to the host for such a nice party.

Cheers!

What's a sponcor?

 

[Andy Griffith]

Sponcors are those things that, well...you know...du-ma-flatch-ies! Although, they are a closer relative to a thing-a-ma-bob than a thing-a-ma-gig or a what-cha-ma-call-it.

We need to be more like Hank Jr...

"I'll take your money!"

We gonna need it...a country boy can survive.

Merril,with all due respect,I don't think your stories "draw" many people to the site. Certainly no advertisers. No offense intended sir,just sayin'.
f.t.

 

[Tyrod]

a sponcor is what you use to clamp a muffler bearing in place.

That's what I think! If the ads help the boss pay the bills, who cares?

 

[wheelgun28]

I think the very best thing to do with ads you dont like is to CLICK on them. Why, because it costs them money when you do. What a good warm feeling you get when spending money raised by folks you dont like. The best part is that the money goes to something they dont like but you do.

The forum owners are bound by contract with google not to tell visitors to click on the ads. I have no contract with google, so get busy clicking!!

Its also good click on ads you do like and even visit their sights, or even buy something from them. I get some Brownell ads
