Fishooked Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 And I'll pre-empt you all by already mentioning the obvious line, "Ask Sooth...." Seriously, I've got this little hobby of mine (I created & run a messageboard), and although its not much, I'd like to make it work to my advantage. I mean, other that putting a PayPal link on there to grovel for money. Any ideas? It's a Proboards site, so it's currently free, but I also don't know how much I can actually modify it and customize it for linking back to other sites, affiliates, etc etc, Any non-sarcastic feedback is appreciated!

32green Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 You know....I thought we were inthrentz friends for life. Sadly, I was mistaken. If I hear that Bleedngreen and Yellin are mods there, we're done hardly ever talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying you wouldn't appreciate it if I were to say something along the lines of "Charge $55 to use the search feature and get exclusive content that you can only get in one other place (BTW, that other place is the internet)"? I'd say look into what you can modify though, as ad space would make the most sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a good thing I only act on info. that is independently verifiable from at least two different sources! You are missing out on a valuable post-count driving resource in excluding us. I could be like the Tx. of your site; hates fishing, yet spends all his time there, with teh fishermans yelling posts back at him/me and you. "Fish, please ban this tool, why is he even here", like that.... Then I go "you fishermans are all delusional, how did that last snapper rig work out for you?:rolleyes:" and stuff like that.

Borgoguy Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 You know what drives money making enterprises on the internet: S-E-X. Why not do a contest to find the hottest chick to be a "fishing buddy"? Maybe have a $10 entry (no pun) fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked how guys were welcoming the Jet fan guy back to his own site! lol Ha ha ha ha...I had actually been on 'hiatus' for awhile....so I asked a couple of friends of mine to keep an eye on the place, make sure the fishing equivalent of Tx doesnt show up.... Suprisingly enough, there were a few people banned. Who gets banned from a fishing board? I guess message boards are all the same, aside from content.

32green Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 There won't be a politics forum, I can tell you that. Typical limp-wristed, pansy ass, hand wringing lib fishermans. Prolly kiss the fish, comfort them, explain why they were caught, give them a worm, put them back in the water and then weep for what you put them through. Get off my dinghy.
